YouTube Gives Options for Channel Layouts [The Reel Web #14]

www.reelseo.com ►This week our look at the Reel Web includes several news stories about online video, including the new channel layout that YouTube is playing it. There’s several options to layout your channel as a Creator, Network, Blogger, or Everything. There’s also changes to YouTube’s Analytics page to streamline some of your videos’ statistics and metrics, as well as several other updates. With online video projected to account for 90% of all Internet traffic by 2013, there are some serious implications for online retailers and businesses. Basically, if you’re not creating online video content now, start before it’s too late. Customers already expect to find video about products and services before they buy something. But just having video isn’t enough anymore. Now, for your videos to rank well in search engines and for SEO, your videos must be very sociable and invite engagement like comments, video responses, thumbs-ups, and more. The social engagement around videos is becoming more and more important for SEO and optimizing the videos for search. We cover a story of a company that is doing it well: Orabrush. They went from having no luck with their product to becoming a multi-million dollar company all thanks to their efforts on YouTube. A couple people are using Kickstarter to try to address some of the stabilization issues that DSLRs have, and we also mention YouTube’s new medals that they award to special videos, as well as some research that shows that tablet

    Since I started producing video for my gaming site, the traffic increased exponentially. I found out that a good way to engage the viewers was to show them how to play certain games.
    Also, I used some of the SEO techniques to rank high for some of my videos.
    The next step is to interact with people. give them awards or give aways.

    @jogosgratispro Sounds like a great idea, man! Engaging with your viewers is so key. It’s one of the main things that separates YouTube from TV.
