RIP SEO ?
Does on-line video mean the end of web site SEO as we know it?
In 2-5 years, will the only listings that you find on the top pages of the search engines, be videos, and not websites?
If SEO can no longer get your web site to the top of Google, what's the point of doing it? To move your website from position 324,432 to 145?
Overstated? Maybe. But my experience is showing this to be real.
Business sectors now have a potential to dominate their keyword phrases, especially for local search. Imagine someone doing a search for your product or service...and 5 out of the first 10 organic listings ARE ALL YOURS! Fantastic? I've done it.
For a present customer, I was able to get 7 out of the ten organic listings for his services with one video..and the first three all had thumbnails!
Another video, submitted to multiple video sites,such as YouTube, Revver, and Photobucket, has 4 listings on Google's page 1...within 12 hours!
Do you suppose that might get someone's attention?
By now, everyone's familiar with YouTube. In January 2009, YouTube registered 100 Million unique visitors. These visitors watched an
average of 63 videos each. That's over 6.3 Billion videos..in one month. And that's just You Tube. There are dozens of video sharing sites, and more being added every day.
It's not hard to see the popularity of video on the Internet. Computers are now fast enough to display videos and movies, just like a TV. And, after 50 years of TV, we are almost 'programmed' to watch videos. I remember, as a kid, sitting in the living room, with a TV tray in front of me, eating my Swanson TV Dinner (remember those aluminum trays!), and watching "Invaders from Mars". Salisbury steak was one of my favorite dinners. (I just watched "IFM' again..after almost 45 years. They colorized it, so the Martians appeared to be wearing green Velour jumpsuits...with a zipper up the back!)
We are a visually oriented people. Flat screen TVs are everywhere. At my local library, there are two flatscreen TVs at the entrance, tuned to CNN & the Weather Channel. I always look at it, just to see if anything important is occuring. In the retail stores, tell me you don't stop to look at the TVs. Heck, they've got them in retail checkout lines. Movies catch our attention.
Which is why video is becoming so pivotal to business marketing. However, businesses have been slow to tap it yet; there are very few occupations that have realized the possible to 'lock up' their keyword phrases on Google.
