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:

Tips and tricks to improve video marketing traffic using VideoSubmitRobot

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

We receive many queries from users on various aspects of video marketing and video article submission using VideoSubmitRobot. We thought we’d put a kind of a guide that sums up all the important steps to ensure a successful video marketing experience. Here you go:

Ensure your video accounts are setup

Before you can start submitting your videos, it is required that you have user accounts on the video sites. If you do not have a user account for a specific video site, you can sign-up from within VideoSubmitRobot by clicking on “Not a Member? Create Account” link.

Account_Setup

Activate video accounts

Once you have created user accounts on all the video sites, it is recommended that you manually login to all the video sites ONCE to ensure that your videos are posted successfully when using the VideoSubmitRobot program. Facebook flashes a message bar (like the one show below) to verify your account.

facebook_confirmation

When you use a non-Google email account to register with YouTube, you will have to verify your email address before you can start posting videos to YouTube. This process is not required if you used a Gmail account during signup (you wouldn’t have seen this message at all).

YouTube_email_confirmation

Yahoo Video account needs separate activation

Even if you do already have a Yahoo account, you would still have to ensure that you activate your Yahoo Video account. Bear in mind that you have to login to your Yahoo Video account manually so that it gets activated

Remove Account Restrictions

Some video sites have an initial restriction on new user accounts – a standard procedure to guard against illegal usage by robots and to encourage fair content.  Facebook has an initial video restriction of 2 minutes (or 10MB, whichever applies). This restriction is lifted once you complete phone verification on your Facebook account.

facebook

Stick with what you know

Where possible, always use existing accounts over new accounts since this gets you more views. Also, streamlining also your videos into a single account (per video site) increases your popularity with search engines resulting in getting indexed and thereby your videos being viewed more often.

Ensure content-rich videos

Vimeo and DailyMotion expect content to be informational and not “promotional” in nature. DailyMotion is very strict on videos that are self-promotional and usually removes them from the server. The key to successful video submissions on DailyMotion is to ensure that the video is as informative as possible. If you find a video rejected by DailyMotion, you can always contact their support and request for an explanation.

Also use high-quality videos as much as possible. Vimeo and DailyMotion emphasize a lot on the video quality as they do on the content. The ArticleVideoRobot Business Account supports HD-quality (resolutions of 640×480 and higher) that ensures your video articles are delivered at the highest possible quality when being distributed to the video sites.

Hands-On approach

It is also important to understand special exceptions – for example, all videos posted to Revver are manually reviewed and approved by Revver staff. Hence videos posted to Revver are not immediately available and the VideoSubmitRobot report might show as “PENDING” or “FAILED”. The VSR report is automatically updated as soon as this video is approved and available.

Get it right the first time

Make sure you always preview your video more than once before posting it a video site. Before you go ahead and submit the video, always make sure you post it one video site and once you verify that the video posted fine, go ahead and post the video to the remaining video sites. This way, you not only save time but also avoid duplicate video submissions. Once you get traffic on one of your video, you enjoy much better chance of your videos being ranked higher by the video sites.

Participate

If you use an account only for submitting videos and never manually login or view other videos through that account, your videos are rated lower and hence you get lesser views. So make sure that you actively subscribe to video channels that relate to the content that you’re marketing, add comments or rate other videos and try to view as many videos as possible. This ensures that you get views back to your account and eventually to the video that you have posted.

Use DynaSubmit to maximize reach

DynaSubmit is a unique feature that allows you to post your video to all the video sites while allowing you to uniquely customize the content (video title and the description) for each site. With DynaSubmit, you post the same video (but with a unique title/description customized for each video site) to all video sites at one click. This feature helps prevents content duplication problem in search engines where your single video can have multiple search terms/keywords associated to it.

dynasubmit

For example, you could have a video article “How to Use Twitter to Make Money”. With DynaSubmit, you can post this video article using different (but related) titles such as “Make Money Online With Twitter”, “Top Twitter Money Making Tips”,  “Online Money Making Secrets with Twitter”, etc. This way, search engines treat each instance of your video posted on different video sites as unique and your video gets associated with a variety of search terms. So the next time someone searches for Twitter and money, you could surely bet your video would be on the top search results. Use DynaSubmit to drive huge traffic to your videos overnight. All that is required is to create keyword-rich video titles and DynaSubmit does the rest – your videos always make it to the top of the search results which even the popular SEO companies would take ages to achieve.

Use Tags Effectively

Tags are keywords that describe your video article. More specifically, the video sites as well as the search engines use tags to identify videos. By using the most relevant keywords to tag your video, you ensure your videos end up being searched more often and this couldn’t be a bad thing at all :)

Go Broad

Try to submit your videos to as many different video sharing sites as possible. You need your video to get popular at only one of these sites to get massive amount of traffic. If you would like to see a pattern of traffic on various videos it is generally too low or too high. Once you cross the too low bracket your video catches on
nicely.

Tip the Jar

Post your video URL at Twitter, your blogs and on your profile pages on social networking sites. This really pushes the ranking of your video considerably in search results. Once a video starts to receive traffic, it gets indexed by bookmarking sites which in turn adds to the number of backlinks to the video. This improves the video ranking in search engines and starts piling up good traffic increasing the relevance of the video in sites like YouTube, Metacafe as these sites tend to feature viral video sites more prominently.

Be Diverse

Use a combination of voice-over characters to add more spice to the video. The built-in TTS engine of ArticleVideoRobot Business Account that comes with 12 voices (the Power Account has 8 voices while the free trial has 4 voice-overs) which gives you a diverse range of voice-over characters. This ensures your target audiences are hooked to your video and not bored by a single voice-over.

How to submit your video article to YouTube using VideoSubmitRobot

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

In the last post, we look at the basics of VideoSubmitRobot and the benefits of turning your articles into videos. We’ll now look at submitting your video articles to video sites using our built-in VideoSubmitRobot.  Let me walk you through each step of the video submission process.

  1. Login to your ArticleVideoRobot account  by going to http://www.articlevideorobot.com/login.html
  2. 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
  3. Click Open Exisitng Project button
  4. All your existing projects would be listed. Select the video on the left and click on the Distribute selected movie button
  5. The Select Publishing Options page opens in a new popup window. Click on the Distribute this Video (17+ Video Sites) button.disvibu
    Note:
    If you have a popup blocker software installed or if your browser is set to block popups, you may not see the window resulting in no action when you click this button. If this is the case, then please make sure you disable popup blockers.
  6. When you click the Distribute this Video button, yet another popup window opens. This is the actual VideoSubmitRobot wizard. The Video Title would  automatically be picked up. Enter a brief description (sometimes a detailed description is also good) for your video. Note that you can use URLs in your description as well. This is great SEO feature as it adds backlinks and improve ranking on search engines since YouTube actually turns the URL text into live hyperlinks (at this time of writing only YouTube converts the URLs to hyperlinks, all other video sites just treat the link as plain text).vidinfoIn the Tags field, enter atleast two tags at the minimum.  This is important since your video would not successfully submit if you don’t enter atleast two tags. Select the appropriate category. If you do not find a matching category, select Howto & DIY. Click Next button to proceed.
  7. In the Site Selection page, select the video sites that you want to submit the video article to. Please note that should already have a working account on the video sites (ArticleVideoRobot does not create them for you). Also make sure you save the login credentials by clicking on Configure Logins button. Use the Select All Configured option if you wish to quickly select those video sites for which you have already stored your login information. Click Next button.sitesel
    Note:
    Where possible, always use existing accounts over new accounts since this gets you more views. Also, streamlining also your videos into a single account (per video site) increases your popularity with search engines resulting in getting indexed and thereby your videos being viewed more often.
  8. In this step, you have the option to select Dynasubmit feature. It is recommended that you use Dynasubmit since it increases the SEO capabalities of your video profoundly. DynaSubmit is a unique feature that allows you to post your video to all the video sites while allowing you to uniquely customize the content (video title and the description) for each site. With DynaSubmit, you post the same video (but with a unique title/description customized for each video site) to all video sites at one click.

  11. Thats it. Your video is already on its way to the video sites. Click Close Window to close the browser window.laststp

Note that the flash video would first need to be converted from its native flash format to an AVI video file before it is actually distributed to the video sites. Hence you would notice a delay in seeing your video article on the video sites. This is normal since your video article is queued for AVI conversion when you start the video article submission process. Once the AVI conversion is complete, VideoSubmitRobot automatically submits the video to each of the video site that you selected in the wizard. To see a status of your video submission, login to VideoSubmitRobot by going to the following URL using your ArticleVideoRobot login ID and password.

http://www.videosubmitrobot.com/login.html

You will also find detailed reports of all your video submissions by logging into the above link. Please note that you are never charged for a failed video submission. When your video submission fails for any reason, try to re-submit the video again but please ensure you delete the original video from the video site.

I guess I managed to give a quick overview of the video submission process. I will follow up with more articles on video article marketing along with tips and best practices that you can use.

Namaste!

Where possible, always use existing accounts over new accounts since this gets you more views. Also, streamlining also your videos into a single account (per video site) increases your popularity with search engines resulting in getting indexed and thereby your videos being viewed more often.

How to submit your video article to YouTube using VideoSubmitRobot

Convert your video article into a marketing success with VideoSubmitRobot

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

ArticleVideoRobot is every internet marketer’s must have tool not because it lets you convert your articles to videos in seconds but adds powerful SEO capabalities to your video articles with its integrated VideoSubmitRobot progam. With VideoSubmitRobot, your video articles are submitted automatically to all the popular videos (the likes of YouTube, Metacafe, Yahoo Videos, DailyMotion, etc.) there is on the internet.  VideoSubmitRobot has powerful features that can dramatically increase SEO  capabalities of your video articles making them search engine friendly. The program also has extensive tracking and reporting functions that keeps tab of all details such as the video submission status, date and time of your video submission,and  the video URLs.

Why use an automated video submission program?

You might think that you’re doing good with uploading the videos yourself to YouTube and probably say Metacafe or a couple of more video sites. But should you not be focusing your time more on creating your marketing content rather spend it on uploading your video article? As an internet marketer, focus should be on marketing your products, services or whatever that you think can earn you money. If you think that doing the video submission yourself saves you money, give this a though – assume you have a video article that you want to upload to YouTube and this takes you on an average 2 minutes of your time (remember that you would have to download your video article before you could upload them and this probably would take longer than my estimated 2 minutes, but I’m being modest :) ). Assuming you want to upload this same video to say 10 other video sites, then it would be 20 minutes on an average.  Let’s say you submit 10 articles a day, this would take anywhere above 3 hours of your time. On a monthly basis, that would mean you’re spending close to 90 hours just submitting your video articles.  Compare this with only a few seconds require to submit each video article, you would know by now that VideoSubmitRobot would actually save you a lot of time. But that is not all. As I mentioned earlier, VideoSubmitRobot adds the all important SEO capabilitity to your video which you might not get from your manual video upload. How does this work? Read on.

DynaSubmit – the SEO magic for your video articles

DynaSubmit is a unique feature that allows you to post your video articles  to all video sites while allowing you to uniquely customize the content (video title and the description) for each site. With DynaSubmit, you post the same video article (but with a unique title/description customized for each video site) to all video sites at one click. This feature helps prevents content duplication problem in search engines where your single video can have multiple search terms/keywords associated to it.

All that is required is to create keyword-rich video titles and DynaSubmit does the rest – your videos always make it to the top of the search results which even the popular SEO companies would take ages to achieve.

Tag your video articles

Tags are keywords that describe your video article. More specifically, the video sites as well as the search engines use tags to identify videos. By using the most relevant keywords to tag your video, you ensure your videos end up being searched more often and this could be a great boost to your marketing efforts. Search engines are increasingly placing more emphasis on videos posted on YouTube, Metacafe which means you are indirectly increasing the search engine marketing of your product or service.

How to use VideoSubmitRobot?

I get frequent queries to our Support Desk on how to use VideoSubmitRobot, particularly the DynaSubmit feature. We understand we have very little documentation so I’d have to do a lot of catching up in my upcoming posts to walk you through each and every step of the video submission process. I know you’ll be yelling at me for this, but I’ll have to save it for the next post.  But trust me it wouldn’t take long.
