SEO Video Marketing Promo Experiment

Posted on | October 22, 2007 | 6 Comments

True to our word, we finally put together a promotional video of our services answering the basic question, What is SEO?

In addition to preparing and launching the video, this gave us another opportunity to distribute it online via the many video sharing websites out there. Included in this list is:

www.break.com
www.metacafe.com
www.dailymotion.com
www.brightcove.com
www.youtube.com
www.blip.tv
www.revver.com

In all, the distribution (manually) took approximately 1 and a half hours. For the sake of the experiment, we targeted the keyword phrase “seo with dinkum”. After only 1 week, we are looking at 146 references so those 21 websites that we submitted to has expanded to include blogs and even article websites (still not sure how we managed those) and many of them are now included in our list of incoming links according to our webmasters sitemap. Add to that the handful of referrals we’ve already received from these video sites and we have an interesting start. It was a fairly low-level experiment but given the time spent (and time available) thought it was worth sharing.

We’re looking to roll out something a little more viral in the coming months and of course we’ll revisit this little experiment again to see how things are going.

    SEO and Video as a practice do not go hand in hand; even though video is a great promo tool.
