How to get top ranking in YouTube and increase your video traffic through video marketing

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

After banging my head almost everywhere to come up with techniques to improve your video marketing, it suddenly hit me how a simple technique could that I had almost never noticed until recently. Some of you might be already aware, but let me share it anyway. I usually spend a lot of time on YouTube searching TV shows that I always miss on weekends. And it struck me that a major factor to getting listed in the top of video search results is to have your main keywords (that you target) incorporated in your video title itself. The concept may sound very simple but let me share the fact that very few people are aware of this fact. This is a very effective technique that you could use when you submit your video using ArticleVideoRobot’s integrated video submission wizard.

To show you a working example, search for “the phrase video article marketing” in YouTube. If you would notice carefully the first video that is returned in the video search results, the Video Title has all the keywords that you searched for in YouTube and in a combination that matches the pattern of your search phrase, i.e. the full title of the topmost video is Article Marketing Meets Video Marketing: Turn Articles into Videos Part 2). Observe the concentration of the keywords in the video title (Article Marketing Meets Video Marketing: Turn Articles into Videos Part 2) of the topmost video in the YouTube search results. Also note that the video title has alternating patterns of the search keywords but in the same order as the search phrase, i.e. three matching patterns (article marketing, video marketing, and articles videos) for the search prhase “article video marketing”. Though the video has only very few hits (132 views), it still tops the search results.  Notice the last video (Nuesion: HowTo YouTube & Web Video Marketing Part 1) in the below screenshot has 170,864 but still isn’t the top rated.

If you check out Metacafe for the same search phrase (“article video marketing”) you would notice a similar pattern.

What is imperative is the fact that video sites return search results by Relevance which is the default option. What it means to you is that when you post your videos using ArticleVideoRobot’s video submission wizard you could still garner higher traffic and possibly the highest visibility on YouTube. Even though your videos might be relatively new, have very low views (i.e. hit rates), you could still have your video article listed in the top of the video search results by careful construction of the video title with the right concentration (in terms of the various combination) of your target keywords as well as the logical placement (i.e. order) of the keyword phrases.

That is not all. With ArticleVideoRobot’s Dynasubmit feature, you could publish many versions of the same video but with different video titles and each video title optimized with the target keywords. All it takes is simple planning and you could not only top the video search results but could get many of your video listed in the top 10 search results for any given search phrase.

I hope this article helps you in improving your video traffic. We hope it does and we could be happier to see you succeed with your video marketing efforts.

How to get top ranking in YouTube and increase your video traffic through video marketing

Tips to generating instant traffic through simple video submissions tweaks

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Its been a while since I made a blog post on something that every one of us likes most, and that is generating traffic! Well, its been quite a work to come up with new techniques to improve traffic to your website using ArticleVideoRobot’s integrated one-click video creation, video submission features and the popular ArticleReel engine. And after trying various techniques, it never hit my mind about something that I always recommend to our customers but almost forgot to write about. The technique is simple – to copy and paste your entire article (yes your full article), into the Description section of the YouTube. But hold on, the video submission wizard posts a limitation of 250 characters in the Description field so how do you paste the entire article? The answer, though stupid, is to edit the video manually (once its published to YouTube , Metacafe, DailyMotion, etc) and update the article in the Description field. Well, before I get into answering your whys, let me dive into the good things (and possibly great benefits) of putting your entire article into the Description field of your YouTube or Metacafe video.

Firstly, you get to help Google have a lot of keywords that it could associate your video with. Because you have your entire article right there on the video description, you make matters easy for Google to associate search keywords/patterns to your YouTube, Metacafe or DailyMotion video (or any of the15 video sites supported by our VideoSubmitRobot). Remember that people are using more long-keyword searches which means that users are not simply entering  just keywords to search in Google but instead searching entire sentences. For example, it is very common now to find people search Google using sentences like  How to improve website traffic using  video marketing (this definitely isn’t two or three keywords but an entire sentence!). Also remember that Google gives weigthage to repeated occurances of the search phrase (or keyword or sentence, however you’d like to call) on the same page when compared to a single occurance. What this means is that posting the entire article in your video description results firstly in a rich set of keywords that Google could use to associate your video but most importantly, Google finds far many sentences(because its the entire article and not just a simple description)  that is related in context to the search keyword or phrase which results in very high rankings in Google search results. Ideally, this translates to high visibility for your videos and naturally increased viewership. This directly translates into increased views for your video which inversely increases YouTube own internal association of your video (since your video enjoys high viewership and is thus ranked popular by YouTube) with a number of related keywords and phrases.

I can hear your abuses already and you have valid questions – why on earth would you use ArticleVideoRobot’s automated video submission service only to end up editing the description field manually? Excellent question, but I wish the video submission API allowed us more space (the number of characters/words that is). Considering the double-effect of Google and YouTube rankings, keyword search associations and viewerships that one could leverage by simply pasting your article content in the video description, I guess its worth a deal to edit it manually. But we are not trying to escape the fact that our Description field is far limited in the amount of words it can hold at the moment. You can be sure we are trying to get this improved!

Tips to generating instant traffic through simple video submissions tweaks

Boost your video marketing traffic using enhanced voice-over features

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

When video marketing is your priority, then ArticleVideoRobot provides the perfect tools you need to turn your video marketing campaign into a success story. At ArticleVideoRobot we strive to build the best tools for video marketing on the Internet which leads us to constantly innovate and introduce new features to ensure you get maximum leverage out of your video marketing efforts. An important aspect of video marketing is to have a voice-over on the background which would read out key points in the video to ensure that the audience stay engaged. While ArticleVideoRobot already supports 12 voice-overs, we have done a major overhaul of the voice-over engine to make sure that your voice-overs sound better, clearer and add value to the video. If you would launch the Voice Libray now, you would notice the new options almost instantly:

The new features to the VoiceOver engine one would immediately recognize are the options to adjust the Speed and the Pitch of the built-in voices. To increase the rate at which the voice-over reads the text, simply select an appropriate value from the dropdown list.

The pitch of the voice-over, or the rate of vibration in the voice is particularly useful when you wish to lower the robotic tone in the voice. We’ve heard from customers that some voices sound robotic. Increasing the pitch of the voice (to Higher or Highest values) would lower the robotic tone. By increasing the speed of the voice and increasing the Pitch value, one could subsequently improve the voice-over quality and lower traces of robotic sound.

Also, clicking the B icon on the VoiceOver window increases the emphasis of the voice-over on the particular text. Use it when you want to put across important text in your video. One instance where you might want to use the emphasis feature is on the closing slides where you put across key points or the summary of the entire video

Build your own pronunciation vocabulary

Most often we’ve come across instances when the voiceover does not pronounce the word correctly. This happens on complicated words such as medical, scientific or engineering terms, names of people or persons and acronyms (such as FSMO which is actually pronounced as fizzmo). With the new feature, you could build a library of pronunciations which AVR replaces everytime it encounters the term on any of your flash video. This option could be launched by clicking the book-like icon on the Voice Library window.

One could also associate a pronunciation with a particular voice. This could be useful during instances when a particular voice-over does not prononunce the word properly (this is because we purchase the voice-overs from a third-party vendor and sometimes the pronunciations are not the same or better doesn’t sound the same across the voice-overs). By associating the corrections with individual voice-over, you make sure it doesn’t affect other voice-overs that pronounce the word correctly.

Record over phone:

Another new feature is the option to record your voice-over through phone. One might wonder why would we need this since there already is an option that to record the voice via the microphone option.

The Record over phone could actually prove handy in instances where you have someone else lending the voice for your video. You could ask the other person to dail into (513) 428 9972, enter the 5-digit passcode and then start recording their voice. Upon hang up, you would simply have to click the Import Message. The voice recording would be instantly added to the paragraph for which the recording window was open.

How to increase traffic to your website using ArticleVideoRobot’s video SEO features

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

We keep getting queries as to how to generate traffic to their website and to their YouTube videos and increase the video hits. Well, Rome is not built in a day, and generating traffic requires some work but thanks to ArticleVideoRobot, you could build up serious traffic to your videos without having to sweat much. Here is how:

Use Dynasubmit to generate hundreds of videos in minutes

Let’s say you have just a single video article. You post the video to YouTube, the chances of your video generating traffic is very low when compared to millions of videos that are posted every day. But ArticleVideoRobot’s Dynasubmit does the magic by turning your single video into hundreds of unqiue videos thereby hugely increasing the chances of traffic to your videos. How? Let’s say you want to submit a video named Online Forum Marketing with 3 different titles to three video sites. You fire up ArticleVideoRobot’s video submission wizard, and select the Use Dynasubmit feature. In the Dynsubmit Video page you would select the first video site, say YouTube and then enter the first title/description pair for YouTube. You would then select Metacafe and then enter second title/description pair to Metacafe. You would then select the third video site, say DailyMotion and enter the third title. Once done, you would click Next. After you submit the video in the first cycle, you would have submitted the video to YouTube, Metacafe and DailyMotion but with a different title. To make sure all 3 titles are present on all 3 video sites, you would have to do two more cycles (i.e. repeat the video submission wizard), then on the second time you would post the second title/description combination to YouTube, third combination to Metacafe, and first combination to DailyMotion, third combination to Yahoo Videos, etc. So on the third or the last cycle, you would have all the 3 different tile/description pair posted on all the 3 videos. Consider if you could come up with 10 different video titles (for your single video) and post it to 10 video sites which means you would have ended with 10 titles x 10 sites = 100 video postings just out of a single video!
Use One-Click Wizard to keep ArticleReel up to date

We know that ArticleReel keeps working in the background to generate traffic to your website and keep it on top of Google Rankings. However, as I had mentioned in many of my earlier posts, Google loves updated content. Googles loves ArticleReel too because ArticleReel implements what is called Google XML Sitemaps, which Googles uses to index your website and ArticleReel pages. Now, when there is a new content in your ArticleReel site, Google would automatically know because ArticleReel implements Google XML Sitemaps. But how do you keep your ArticleReel page up to date? By creating new videos ofcourse. But it could be quite taxing to create new content every other day. That is where the New One Click Ezine Wizard comes into the fore. With the New One Click Ezine Wizard you could create any article to video in seconds. So even if you have only a couple of articles, you could simply re-use the existing articles, make simple changes to your content, launch the Ezine Article Converter wizard (the New One Click Ezine Wizard that is), select the Other Website option and simply paste your article in the wizard after making the changes (change the Article Title, Article Body, etc) and finish the wizard to dish out a new article. What this means is that when you create a new video article, it is automatically updated in your ArticleReel website/page, which means the Google XML Sitemap is also updated triggering the Google robot to re-index your ArticleReel website. Now, this is something Gooogle loves to do and Google would happily re-index many times a day if you keep your ArticleReel pages up to date by creating new videos. Assuming you manage to create three videos every day (which should take say only a few minutes altogether), you keep Google busy which is very important as Google ranks websites that it indexes many times a day on top of the rankings compared to websites that it indexes few days once.

Digg it, Tweet it – let the world know

Social bookmarking is a powerful tool when it comes to any form of internet marketing and that which is not utilized to the core. Publish your video to bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious, Tweeter, StumbleUpon and see your video hit rates go over the roof within a couple of days.With ArticleReel’s integrated publish features, you could easily publish/post your videos to 230 social bookmarking and networking sites. Simply open any ArticleReel video, navigate to the bottom of the page, and click the icon (shown below) to open the integrated publish options. Select the site you wish to publish to and you’re done!

Bookmark_Digg

Social bookmarking is a powerful channel that can get you targeted and quality audience that could directly translate into immediate sales. Even if you would post to just 10% sites of the 230 sites, you’re easily publishing your video to 23 sites which by any means a large number of sites. And remember that there are other bookmarking and indexing sites that get updates from Digg, StumbleUpon which means your video would go places without any effort from your end.
Hope the topics discussed were useful. I will discuss more techniques in the upcoming posts that would explore ways to generate more traffic as always :)

How to increase traffic to your website using ArticleVideoRobot’s video SEO features

How to use ArticleReel to generate backlinks, increase website traffic and improve Google rankings

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

One of ArticleVideoRobot’s biggest feature launch till date is ArticleReel. What is it anyway? ArticleReel is a new tool that will generate hundreds of quality backlinks, and increase traffic to your website many fold. Well, you may wonder that you have many tools that claim to generate “instant” backlinks so whats the catch? As always, ArticleVideoRobot brings in unique and powerful technology built on years of internet experience. ArticleReel is unique because it starts working to build backlinks to your website and it does on its own, day in and day out as long as you have ArticleReel hosted on your website. All you would need to do is spend a few mins to set it up and its your ticket to boosting website traffic and to seeing your website rated in Google rankings. And all this for free!

Why ArticleReel?

ArticleReel works in the background and keeps generating backlinks to your website through its unique technology. The regular SEO tools/services do “optimize” your website to be SEO friendly and this does work, but only for a while. Why? Search engines like Google are getting more smarter by the day and track websites not only based on its keywords but factor in a number of other points such as content quality, frequency of content updates, number of backlinks, weightage of backlinks, etc.  to name a few. This again is not set on stone – Google keeps improving its search algorithms to make sure the rankings are accurate as possible which means your website needs to be tuned to match up with the expectations of the search engines to make sure you’re always in Google rankings. This is where ArticleReel steps into the picture – ArticleReel is that someone who could keep your website SEO optimized, keep generating backlinks to your website, keep improving (and sustaining) the Google traffic rankings and make sure you’re website is indexed for the maximum possible keyword searches every other day!

How does ArticleReel work?

ArticleReel incorporates sophisticated technology with the years of marketing experience that puts your internet marketing on auto-pilot leaving you to concentrate on your core function. When you create an ArticleReel website, ArticleReel automatically creates backlinks between ArticleReel sites that fall into the same category. So for example if you have installed ArticleReel on your website http://www.articlevideorobot.com and there is another ArticleReel website named http://www.toufee.com and if the two websites fall in the same category, then the two websites would start exchanging backlinks automatically. That is not all. If http://www.toufee.com is already exchanging backlinks with other ArticleReel websites, then http://www.articlevideorobot.com would start exchange with “sites” that link to http://www.toufee.com as well.

Hang on, don’t think that ArticleReel is just another link exchange – absolutely not! What I’ve mentioned is just one of the ways in which ArticleReel increases backlinks. ArticleReel is a full featured video blog that is automatically updated as you add new ArticleVideoRobot videos. This means that the content on your website is updated regularly which keeps search engines like Google busy and your website is always on the hot list.  On every ArticleReel video page, you get your entire article posted which means you don’t have to worry about keyword optimization since you have the entire article for Google to index. This is a double-advantage since ArticleReel not only sets up a video blog, but you now also have all your text articles posted along with it searching as a great repository and that which serves as rich content for Google to index. How does this translate into generating traffic to your website? Because your ArticleReel is set up on your website, and because you have your articles setup in your ArticleReel, Google indexes your website URL (let say http://www.articlevideorobot.com) every time it indexes your article,  Google associates your website URL with top keywords that it indexes your articles for. In addition, ArticleReel generates only quality backlinks, has its own alogirthm to determine the weightage of the backlinks so you could be rest assured that your website gets quality sites linking back to your website.

How do I get started with ArticleReel?

Setting up ArticleReel is pretty simple. I would first recommend that you have a look at this video that provides a quick walkthrough:

http://www.articlevideorobot.com/articlereel_vid.html

Once you ready to go ahead, setting up ArticleReel shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes using the ArticleReel wizard. To launch the ArticleReel wizard, login to your ArticleVideoRobot account and then click on the ArticleReel image on the left. Alternatively, you could go navigate to the below URL directly after you login to your ArticleVideoRobot account.

http://www.articlevideorobot.com/videomarketing/articlereel.html

The ArticleReel is a self-explanatory wizard and you should be able to find your way without much problem. Also, you would just have to spend a few minutes to allow the ArticleReel wizard to convert your ArticleVideoRobot video into ArticleReel’s format.


Time to get started!

I doubt if you would be reading this line as I am sure you would have already launched the ArticleReel wizard and started getting your videos ArticleReel-ed. The clock starts now and let ArticleReel take care of generating traffic to your website. Time to go ahead and grab a hot coffee :)

Introducing the new ArticleVideoRobot Member Area to speed up your video article marketing success

Monday, November 16th, 2009

It is an exciting time at ArticleVideoRobot as we have planned a number of major changes to the popular article video converter and distribution software. The first of the changes lined up is the new Members Area. The new Members Area includes an improved dashboard that sums up your account information better. You’ll notice the regular options Full Article to Video Editor and the New One Click Ezine Wizard now more organised under Start a New Article to Video Project. You would also notice that you’d see that all your most recent projects under the Recent Projects section. Note that you might not see all your video projects – not to panic, I’ll show how to access all existing projects later in the article.

MembersArea1-1

Let me first introduce some of the new changes. The most important of them is that the Members Area now lists the AVR (Video Download) and the VSR (Video Submissions) credits. A number of our customers have lots of confusion over the credits. Note that you get two sets of credits with your membership every month.

The Members Area would also now list your Account Level on the top left. The Members Area also now has the new Follow us on Twitter link if you wish to follow ArticleVideoRobot on Twitter. Just below the Follow us on Twitterlink is a quick preview of the latest blog article with the the blog title and a short description of the article.

One of the new features of the Your Recent Projects section, is the quick preview box that shows a quick description of the article along with important options which include Preview This Project that opens the Quick Preview window, Download/Distribute that opens the Select Publishing Options screen from where you could choose to download or distribute the video as well as the Edit this Project that opens the video in the Full AVR Wizard.

MembersArea2-1

Staying on with the Members Area, you’ll notice a new tab called Projects that will list all your recent projects. The difference is that the Projects tab lists all the video articles with the detailed preview and all of the options. However, one of the immediate question one might notice is where have all the existing projects gone? Here is how you access your existing video projects

  1. In the new Members Area, click Start Full Editor button available under the Full Article to Video Editor option. This would open the ArticleVideoRobot wizard
  2. Click the Open Existing Projects button. The wizard will list all your videos
  3. Select a video and on the right panel you’ll see the buttons Edit Selected movie and Distribute selected movie. Click Edit Selected movie option to open the video. If you would like to distribute the video, select Distribute selected movie

Notice the flashy bar on the top that says Return to Article Video Robot’s old Member’s Area. Click this if you wish to switch over to the old Members Area. Clicking on the close icon (the cross sign on the bar) removes this bar permanently, but just in case you wish to switch over to the old Members Area page, simply navigate to the following URL http://www.articlevideorobot.com/members/home.pl and you should be right there.

Hope this helps. Should you have any questions, please raise a ticket to Support Desk (http://www.articlevideorobot.com/support) and we’ll be glad to assist.

See you all in my next post,

Ganesh

Introducing the new ArticleVideoRobot Member Area to speed up your video article marketing success

How to publish your video to your blog to improve traffic rankings

Friday, November 6th, 2009

ArticleVideoRobot allows you to easily publish your video to your blogs or your website using a simple one-click feature. With the new One-Click Article to Video Converter you could easily convert your articles to videos in a matter of seconds. You could also publish the video to your blog or websites with the same ease and speed. This end-to-end integration allows your website or blog to be update with video content which search engines love to index. Google, for instance, rank websites or blogs that publish frequent content, far higher than those websites/blogs that do it at a lesser interval.

To publish your video to your website or blog, follow the steps below:

1) Login to your ArticleVideoRobot.com account

2) Click on the Full AVR Editor button. This will open a new window. Click on Open Existing Projects button

3) Select the flash video project and click Distribute this movie button

4) In the new window that pops up, click on XPressPublish (Blog, Twitter, Facebook) button.

5) The Publish Online window will open up. Copy the HTML code and paste it into your website or blog

ArticleVideoRobot flash videos have a scaling of 640×430, the default HD-quality size. However, when you publish your video to blogs, you’ll generally have to reduce the size or you would notice the flash video being cut off on the right side. To fix the issue, you’ll have to reduce the scaling of your ArticleVideoRobot flash video by using the iScale parameter. Below is a modified version of the HTML code that will publish your video at 60% scaling.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.articlevideorobot.com/movies/player.swf" style="width: 384px; height: 249px;" height="249" width="384">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.articlevideorobot.com/movies/player.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="noscale">
<param name="salign" value="lt">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="flashvars" value="userID=56&projID=SOMEPROJECTusto-tweb&iScale=60&domain=www.articlevideorobot.com">
</object>

The following are the changes made to the HTML code

  1. Add a new attribute named iScale and set its value (note its a percentage) to the size that you want to scale the flash video. In the above code, the iScale attribute is set to 60 which means that your flash video would be scaled to 60% of its original size (the original height and width parameters are 640 pixels and 430 pixels respectively)
  2. Change the height and width according to the new scale. In the above code, I set the width to 384 (60% of 640) and height to 249 (60% of 430) respectively. Note that the original width and height are 640 and 430 pixels

The values are not absolute, which means that you could scale the flash video to 70% or 75% and adjust the height and width parameters accordingly.

Video article marketing tip: Improve traffic to your videos and generate instant backlinks

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

The key to a successful video marketing campaign with AritcleVideoRobot lies with leveraging the power of Dynasubmit and I’ll share some tips that should drastically improve traffic to your video articles. Let’s begin by taking a scenario – you wish to publish a video to YouTube that talks about how you could earn money with Twitter. Assuming you compiled a great video with perfect content and images you might be still left in the crowd having just a single video out there on YouTube when there could be possibly hundreds of similar videos targeting the same niche. To ensure your videos get returned on YouTube search results, you would have to do the following

  1. Prepare a list of keyword-rich titles for your video: This the key concept of Dynasubmit. That you could use a single video with different titles and submit it in an instant to video sites. For example, for the video article that shows how to make money with Twitter, you could have various titles such as “How to Use Twitter to Make Money”, “Make Money Online With Twitter”, “Top Twitter Money Making Tips”,  “Online Money Making Secrets with Twitter”, etc
  2. Prepare a list of related keywords that relate to the niche you’re targeting: It is important that you capture as many keywords as possible associated with your target niche/audience. Once you’ve worked out the list, use the keywords with each variation of your video instance.
  3. Now for the real action. Use Dynasubmit to post as many variations of the video as possible.  Let’s say there are 100 videos in YouTube that target the segment “money making with Twitter” and assuming that you post at the least 10 variations of the same video (using different video titles), your videos would make up 9% of all videos on YouTube that target the niche. The share of your videos would significantly increase if you could work up more video titles – you could go anywhere between 15-20%  of overall share of videos pertaining to a niche. And assuming you have associated all the keyword combinations with all your videos that you posted, your videos would easily be returned on any search made on YouTube and that directly translates into traffic to your video.

This is not all. So far we’ve looked only at YouTube but to really treble your video traffic you would simply have to repeat the same on all the 15 videos sites supported by ArticleVideoRobot such as Metacafe, Yahoo Videos, DailyMotion, etc. With the minimum assumption that you managed to build 10 variations of the video (i.e. changing the video titles ofcourse), you could easily end up with 150 video postings (10 video titles x 15 video sites) across all the video sites. Going by the numbers that is certainly a lot of videos considering that we worked this all up just from a single video! All we try to do is change the video title and use Dynasubmit to let the video be posted to the video sites.

Let’s cook some backlinks

Alright, you are ready to churn out 150 videos all across the Internet just out of  a single video but do remember to include your website URL in the Video Description field which is the secret to generating huge backlinks to your website. Refer step 4 (screenshot) of the following article that shows the Video Description field in which you should enter your website URL:

http://www.articlevideorobot.com/blog/how-to-submit-your-video-article-to-youtube-using-videosubmitrobot.html

When search engines index your video, they also your hyperlink (i.e. your website URL) and this would mean valuable SEO optimization since search engine would associate a higher ranking to your URL as it comes from popular video sites. When you include the fact that your website URL would be instantly available on hundreds of your videos across the Internet in a matter of a single video.

To make sure you get backlinks, you would have to include your website URL in the Video Description section when you post the video to video sites. I checked your video and while I did find that you entered a description, I see that you had not entered the website URL in the description section. Refer step 4 (screenshot) of the following article that shows the Video Description field in which you should enter your website URL:

Video article marketing tip: Improve traffic to your videos and generate instant backlinks

How to convert your article to video using the new One-Click Article to Video Converter

Monday, October 19th, 2009

One of the greatest strengths of ArticleVideoRobot’s is its unique One-Click article to video converter technology that can convert any article that is posted on EzineArticle or simply in plain text or Word format to a lively video content in a matter of seconds. The One-Click Converter wizard, which was previously called teh EzineArticle Article Wizard, underwent a number of changes over the last few months. The result is the new One-Click Article to Video Converter wizard – more powerful in the sense it packs in a new engine that converts articles to video seamlessly, a wider range of article customization features, support for multiple article directories and a new easy-to-use friendly interface.

  1. Support for multiple article directories

    The new One-Click Article to Video Converter supports top article directories that include iSnare, ArticleBase, ArticleAlley and ArticleDashboard in addition to EzineArticles. The new additions are among the top article directories which means you could now convert all your articles to video like the same way you would for your EzineArticle.

    If you thought that the support for the article directories are a mere addition, think again. The new additions unlocks great article sources that you could use to convert your articles. Not limited to your own articles, but as long as you obtain necessary permissions from the author you could now convert your favorite article to videos to be distributed to YouTube. Also note that the new article directories (iSnare, ArticleDashboard, ArticleAlley and ArticleBase) are one of the top-ranked sites on the internet so any video that you create out of the article that is already on these sites would mean you get immediate backlinks when you publish the video article to YouTube, Metacafe, DailyMotion, etc. This greatly increases the chances of your video article indexed and associted with top-ranking keywords when searched in Google. Another aspect is that your video article would then add valuable backlinks to your original article on let’s say ArticleDashboard.com resulting in a chain reaction of backlinks that directly translate into increased traffic to your website.

  2. New Features to Customize the Video Article

    The new One-Click Article to Video Converter wizard now comes with options to customize all aspects of your video article as a whole. This saves a lot of time and re-work as one would not have to launch the video article in the full AVR wizard to change the background settings of a video. We’ve regularly received feedback from customers who wanted to set properties such as the voice-over character, the intro name (you could now change the name “Pat” to your name or remove it completely) and the background music/image. All these could be now customized directly in the new One-Click Article to Video Converter as shown below:

  3. Customize the Voice-Over of your video article

    The voice-over character that is used with the new One-Click Article to Video Converter can now be cutomized as discussed earlier. You could now set a single voice-over character read out the entire video article, a feature that was requested by many customers.
