</p><p>With more than 2 years of coding, improvements, and upgrades, the premier <a rel="nofollow" title="Google Video Sitemap" href="http://www.googlevideositemap.com" target="_blank">Google Video Sitemap</a> (GVS) wordpress plugin has just gone through what is <em>probably the<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> best upgrade and version thus far</span></em> with GVS Version 2.29. Not only has there been an overall logic improvement for detecting videos, but also some cool added supports (see video below).</p>

<p>In the last few months there has been major shifts in the search engines, and particularly with regards to video, seo, and mobile (and wordpress and youtube both doing upgrades). To bring added supports in the midst of all these video seo changes, I <strong>just uploaded GVS version 2.29 (now at ver. 2.30) to the members area</strong> for customers.</p>
<p>As my video suggests, the added supports and improvements include premium players: <a title="The Traffic Player" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thetrafficplayer.com" target="_blank">The Traffic Player</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.markdulisse.com/likes/easyvideoplayer" target="_blank">Easy Video Player</a>, and the free <a rel="nofollow" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/" target="_blank">JW Player for WordPress &#8211; Flash and HTML</a>.</p>
<p><strong>It just rocks&#8230;!</strong> It continues to be leaps ahead of any other video sitemap generator on the market. I have never been so pleased. And when combined with my very own HTML5 compliant Traffic Player, and any of the other supported video players, it is very powerful force.</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Keyword: &quot;Google Video Sitemap Review&quot;</p>

<p>In addition to being a great way to get increased exposure and traffic to your pages and posts, with the use of certain techniques, you can now get double and triple thumbnail listings. <img src='http://www.markdulisse.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Google Video Sitemap " class='wp-smiley' title="Google Video Sitemap " /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Does the following scenario sound familiar&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p>You buy all the leading traffic and link building tools; spend countless hours designing and creating a seo optimized website; the traffic starts to come in bits and sporadic droves; BUT&#8230;traffic is NOT taking action as you would had hoped and as a result, you feel like you have wasted your time, energy, and money invested.</p>
<p>You ask yourself, &#8220;What did I do wrong? I followed the system. I did my keyword research, did my seo, did my backlinking, and have top Google ranking. Why am I not making money? Did I pick the wrong niche? Is there something wrong with my site? Why are visitors not being persuaded and abandoning my website without taking action?&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Great questions&#8230;and you are not alone.  Is is vital that you <a href="http://support.google.com/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=81986" target="_blank">Understand Why People Are Leaving and Your Bounce Rate</a>.<br />
</em></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="bounce-rate" src="http://www.markdulisse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bounce-rate.gif" alt="bounce rate Conversion Rate Optimization   Top Tools To Understand Abandoning Traffic" width="244" height="244" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Avinash Kaushik</a>, a Google Analytics specialist states,<strong> &#8220;If you could only choose one metric to look at, Bounce Rate might be your best choice.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ppgfjo6IIf4?&amp;showinfo=0modestbranding=1&amp;autohide=0&amp;controls=1&amp;hd=0&amp;rel=0"  frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>I love his definition of Bounce Rate: <span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;I Came &#8211; I Puked &#8211; I Left.&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p>Let me back up a bit&#8230;</p>
<p>To the newbie/newcomer, the seo jargon and responsibilities can be a bit daunting at first glance. The SEO game has many player hats and titles, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Search Engine Optimizer (<strong>SEO</strong>)</li>
<li>Search Engine Marketer (<strong>SEM</strong>)</li>
<li>Paid Search Marketer (also referred to as <strong>SEM</strong> or <strong>PPCer</strong>)</li>
<li>Conversion Rate Optimizer (<strong>CRO</strong>)</li>
<li>Social Media Marketer (<strong>SMM</strong>)</li>
<li>And a few other fancy dancy professional titles&#8230;.</li>
</ul>
<p>As for SEO responsibilities, the <a href="http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-the-seo-fundamentals-pyramid" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SEO Pyramid by Rand Fishkin of SEOMoz.org</a> graphically displays the most common responsibilities (and hats) of a SEO&#8217;er.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1092" title="seo-pyramid" src="http://www.markdulisse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/seo-pyramid.gif" alt="seo pyramid Conversion Rate Optimization   Top Tools To Understand Abandoning Traffic" width="558" height="615" /></p>
<p>In this blog post we will be looking at the hat of the &#8220;<strong>Conversion Rate Optimizer</strong>.&#8221; The SEOer gets targeted traffic to your website. The CROer specializes in increasing your conversion rates after a visitor lands on your website.</p>
<p>The real hard questions are: <strong>Why are people not being persuaded when they land on my website? And if I am missing something, I want to know, &#8220;What would have persuaded them to take action?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>If you owned a offline storefront you can easily ask questions and hear feedback when people are visiting and leaving your store. Knowing and learning why people are leaving your online store (website) is not as easy, but it can be done.</p>
<p>If you want to turn more visitors into customers, or subscribers, you not only have to understand why they are leaving, but you then need to implement the required changes to overcome their objections and to improve conversions.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Top 9 Tools To Capture The Voice Of Website Visitors And Why They Are Leaving</h2>
<p>The tools below will help you capture the voice of your website visitor who is leaving and exiting your website. There are both analytical tools whereby you can monitor visitor behavior, and direct feedback tools to help you gather information of the users.</p>
<p><strong>A. Visitor Behavioral Analytics</strong></p>
<p>The tools below are great at &#8220;indirectly&#8221; capturing the voice of your website visitor by allowing you to gather information based on their behaviors.</p>
<p><strong>1. <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Google Analytics &#8211; Click Here</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/siteopt/exptlist?account=10637262&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Google Website Optimizer &#8211; Click Here</a></strong> &#8211; Free</p>
<p>Google analytics has a ton of reports that you can get easily lost in, but is without a doubt very powerful if you have the time to figure it all out. It will give to you reports on everything from the type of browser they are using, to where your traffic is coming from&#8230;including geographical locations.</p>
<p>Google&#8217;s Website Optimizer will allow you to do split testing of your landing pages to optimize them for better conversions.</p>
<p><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XJT9TCqzw4U?&amp;showinfo=0modestbranding=1&amp;autohide=0&amp;controls=1&amp;hd=0&amp;rel=0"  frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>While Google&#8217;s free tools are great, there are other resources that takes it to the next level.</p>
<p><strong>2. <a href="http://www.crazyegg.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crazy Egg &#8211; Click Here</a></strong> ($9/month service) &#8211; this heatmap technology will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Show you were people are clicking on a page (and it may not be a link, but it should be)</li>
<li>Show you were people are spending the most time on your page</li>
<li>Which links on your page are being clicked on, which is great if there are more than 1 link on a page that lead to the same destination</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Click Tale</strong> (free trial, starting at $79/month)- shows you the in real time the screens of your visitors</p>
<p><a href="http://www.clicktale.com/signup_account4.aspx?ct=t(Free)&amp;a_aid=b7c59626&amp;amp;a_bid=91a892c0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Free Trial Version &#8211; Click Here</a>: This cool service will allow you to watch a video on how your visitors are behaving on your website by actually viewing their screens. This way, you are able to monitor their mouse behavior, how long they are on your website, what actions they actually took (if any), repeat visitors and where they are most focused on, how people are interacting with your web forms, link analytics, heatmaps, visitor recordings, and a whole lot more. This is the perfect companion to Google Analytics.</p>
<p><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DjtrbZO_8eo?&amp;showinfo=0modestbranding=1&amp;autohide=0&amp;controls=1&amp;hd=0&amp;rel=0"  frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>4. <a href="http://www.ioninteractive.com/liveball-software-tour/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LiveBall &#8211; Click Here</a> </strong> &#8211; starts at $1,250/month <img src='http://www.markdulisse.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Conversion Rate Optimization   Top Tools To Understand Abandoning Traffic" class='wp-smiley' title="Conversion Rate Optimization   Top Tools To Understand Abandoning Traffic" /> </p>
<p>LiveBall is the premier resource for serious online marketers with larger budgets and businesses and who are looking for everything from A/B Testing, Conversion Optimization, Landing Page Production and Optimization, Lead Generation, etc&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>B. Direct Visitor Response Analytics</strong></p>
<p>The tools below allow you to directly capture the voice of your website visitors and allow them to provide great feedback to you.</p>
<p><strong>1. <a href="http://googletalk.blogspot.com/2008/02/google-talk-chatback.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Google Talk &#8211; Click Here</a></strong> &#8211; Live chat badge on your website &#8211; Free</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1093 alignleft" title="googletalk" src="http://www.markdulisse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/googletalk.png" alt="googletalk Conversion Rate Optimization   Top Tools To Understand Abandoning Traffic" width="299" height="89" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is a free great service whereby you place a badge on your website that shows you online and available to chat. I find this a fascinating idea. Here you can answer any questions LIVE and help people make a decision to take action. While perhaps not as robust as <a href="http://solutions.liveperson.com/sb/" target="_blank">Live Person</a> (a paid service), Google Talk certainly is a great way for online businesses to get direct feedback from web traffic</p>
<p><strong>2. <a href="http://kissinsights.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">KISS Insights &#8211; Click Here</a></strong> &#8211; popup window in footer to get visitor feedback &#8211; free version available.</p>
<p>The creators of <a href="http://www.kissmetrics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">KISSmetrics</a> developed this website feedback script that is essentially a popup window in the footer of your website and will allow visitors to tell you what they need. You can also customize your questions.</p>
<p><strong>3. <a href="http://www.kampyle.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kampyle &#8211; Click Here</a></strong> &#8211; I like this service. Visit the site to see how it works. This service puts a nicely displayed Feedback &#8220;We Listen&#8221; Button (or popup) on your website which visitors click and fill out a form. What is cool about the forms is that visitors are engaged with responses. As the website owner, you are given great analytics and reports of the feedback.</p>
<p><strong>4. <a href="http://ethn.io/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ethnio &#8211; Click Here</a></strong> &#8211; Free trial version.</p>
<p>This cool javascript code, when applied to your website, will engage your visitors and recruit them to provide feedback to your website.</p>
<p><strong>5. <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Survey Monkey &#8211; Click Here</a></strong> &#8211; Free online</p>
<p>Use Survey Monkey on existing customers and subscribers to ask for feedback on your websites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" src="http://www.markdulisse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/rsz_dsc00224-e1316618004346.jpg" alt="rsz dsc00224 e1316618004346 Family Alert   Internet Marketing Dream May Kill It" width="169" height="134" title="Family Alert   Internet Marketing Dream May Kill It" />Thank you for reading this post. What a year it has been thus far. I really do not know much about you at all, but <strong>I hope this helps you as I write from my heart.</strong></p>
<p>Let me explain&#8230;.</p>
<p>It was in the winter of 2008 when I turned to the power of the internet to make a living online. My back was up against the wall. It was either &#8220;make it happen,&#8221; or dooms day for me.</p>
<p>I worked very, very hard. In fact, starting out I worked more hours, and harder hours, than any other career I had previously been in&#8230;and I&#8217;ve been in some tough ones.</p>
<p>By the end 2009 I was starting to find my groove and making a solid full time income. The year 2010 and 2011 has been equally rewarding. In fact, September 2011 has been my best month in my career.</p>
<p>Today I enjoy a solid online business, a great product shelf that I have created and am proud of, and a customer and subscriber list that I value greatly.</p>
<p>But let me be real. <strong>The life of the internet marketer is not a fairy tale</strong>. The idea that you will make a million online while you are on the beach in Cancun with a laptop and internet connection is sheer rubbish.</p>
<p>Because I have small children at home I built my career working when they were in school or sleeping, but sometimes more.</p>
<p>I was always tired. My eyes were red and had dark circles all the time. I was too tired to exercise and I was out of shape. My body suffered. My eating habits were the pits. My butt was glued to the chair and my eyes glued to the monitor. I was in bad shape, and I knew it.</p>
<p>My kids no doubt viewed me always on the computer, and what is more, I rationalized it by convincing myself that I was doing it &#8216;for them.&#8217;</p>
<p>I know of real good marketers, people whom I have respected, and yet, they have lost their spouses, their kids, and others, all because of a internet marketing dream. Don&#8217;t let this be you.</p>
<p>I mean, the reality is, my daughter would be trying to get my attention, and a customer would phone looking for service. What do you do? If your dream has you picking up the phone, you are losing your daughter.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>True Story &#8211; I had a customer call me at home last Easter Sunday, demanding immediate service and support. If you are not careful, some crazy customer will try and suck the life right out of you all because they gave you a $47 payment.</strong></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes indeed, there was a time when I was not balanced, and I tried to satisfy everyone at all times, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>but this all changed this past summer</strong></span>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Now, when a customer is demanding service, it is when I am available. When a project is due, and it is late, I&#8217;m not going to lose my family over it. It can wait, and so can everyone else.</strong></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Let me be very very clear&#8230;.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>If you are a internet marketer, and you are wanting the fame and glory of online success, at what cost?</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>The people you love the most will suffer and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">one day you most likely wake up all alone and regret all of i</span>t. If you are a online marketer, and the only love you have around you is a picture of yourself and a dog, then you are in trouble.</p>
<p>If you find yourself chasing the internet marketing dream and you have loved one&#8217;s, then<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> stop and examine</span></strong>. Most likely, your loved one&#8217;s will think you are crazy if you make little income. <strong>Do not lose the relationship because of a dream</strong>.</p>
<p>Instead&#8230;.</p>
<ul>
<li>Take time to walk on the beach or along a wooded path</li>
<li>Go to the movies</li>
<li>Swimming is great</li>
<li>Time to get that gym pass out</li>
<li>Spend quality time with those you love</li>
<li>Go to all the parent-teacher meetings</li>
<li>Go paintballing with your kids</li>
<li>Go fishing</li>
<li>Play a board game</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Video SEO Strategies really boils down to two approaches:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Sharing Your Videos For Webwide Distribution &#8211; This is done by uploading your videos to video sharing sites (like Youtube). Once uploaded, you can get the embed code and put the video on your own website, but the video listing in the search engines will point to the video sharing site, not your website where it is embedded.</li>
<li>Making Your Videos Available Only On Your Site &#8211; This is done by hosting the videos on your own website, or using a video hosting service like amazons3. It then involves creating a video sitemap to help the search engines find your videos and deliver searchers to your site. The huge benefit here is that your video listing in the search engines takes searchers directly to your website, where the money is made.</li>
</ol>
<p>For Youtube SEO &amp; Massive Traffic:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Tube Groove" href="http://www.tubegroove.net">Tube Groove Youtube Marketing Software</a> (premium)</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The web traffic is in the details, and in this case, &#8220;image seo&#8221; details. Some people use this strategy for an enormous amount every month.</p>
<p>Let me back up a bit and explain. To maximize your free traffic coming from the search engine of Google you will want to be holistic in your SEO plan of approach. Think of the search engines not just from a &#8220;text&#8221; standpoint, but think vertically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Image Search</li>
<li>Video Search</li>
<li>Blog Search</li>
<li>Mobile Search</li>
<li>Book Search</li>
<li>Finance</li>
<li>Etc</li>
</ul>
<p>Google now mixes all these vertical search engine results into their &#8220;Everything&#8221; search result, which is called the &#8220;Universal Search.&#8221; Most non-Googlers called it &#8216;blended search.&#8217;</p>
<p>In this posting I want to talk about using the Image Search to boost your websites ranking and traffic.</p>
<p><strong>Is Your Website A Good Candidate To Be Ranked High In Image Search?</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_899" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 452px">
	<img class="size-full wp-image-899   " style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Bull Dog - Image SEO" src="http://www.markdulisse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/image-seo.jpg" alt="image seo Get More Traffic With Your Website Images | Image Search SEO" width="452" height="282" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">See the Universal Search Results Place Images At Top</p>
</div>
<p>Before you go to the seo effort, <strong>here are indicators that your website is a good candidate</strong> and that you should not overlook some highly targeted traffic coming from the Image Search that may appear on the Universal Search:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your website&#8217;s uniqueness is its images. They are unique, interesting, and one every page.</li>
<li>When I do a search query for the keywords that I target, images show up at the top of the results.</li>
<li>The monetization and products that I sell on my website has images.</li>
<li>You are into &#8220;People Reputation.&#8221; If your website has pictures of celebrities, or politicians, then a Image Search will fall into your category.</li>
</ul>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Warning</span>: If you are an affiliate marketer and all you do is include images that everyone else is using then there is the high probability you are wasting your time doing image seo. </em></p>
<p><strong>Image Search Optimization</strong></p>
<p>Search engines cannot read images, so in order to rank images the search engines look for clues. The most important clue that the search engines use rank images is text in critical locations that is tied to the image file and that surrounds the picture on the page.</p>
<p>Here are <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">two key image seo strategies</span></strong> to get your images in the rankings:</p>
<ol>
<li>The best chance of getting an image ranked is to have &#8220;each image on its own page.&#8221;  Do not put multiple images on one page.</li>
<li>Display your image on a page that is optimized for the keywords you want to rank for. If your image is about &#8220;dogs,&#8221; have your web page optimized for &#8220;dogs.&#8221;</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>For top image rankings you need to do the &#8216;extra&#8217; and include these keyword image optimization strategies:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Image File Name &#8211; If your photo is an image of Lady Gaga, the filename should be lady-gaga.jpg.</li>
<li>Put Keyword Captions Directly Beneath or Above Images &#8211; For example, &#8220;Lady Gaga is a Youtube superstar for 21st century tubers.&#8221;</li>
<li>ALT and TITLE Tags &#8211; Use both of these. They can be the identical same keyword for both. <a title="SEO Image WP Plugin" rel="nofollow" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-image/" target="_blank">SEO Image</a> is a great wp plugin to do this for you.</li>
<li>Use Keyword Anchor Text Links Pointing To An Image &#8211; This is the most un-utilized image seo tactic, but highly effective. Link to an image you want to rank for with the keyword you are going after. Instead of &#8220;Click Here For Image,&#8221; use &#8220;View Lady Gaga In New York.&#8221; You can use tools like <a title="SENuke X" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.markdulisse.com/likes/senukex" target="_blank">SENuke X</a> (premium automation) or <a title="Rank Builder" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.markdulisse.com/likes/rankbuilder" target="_blank">Rank Builder</a> (solid and does the job) to build some wicked backlinks to sky rocket your results.</li>
<li>Write A Description Of The Image On The Same Page &#8211; Instead of a caption, write a full description of the image on the page it is on.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>As you do your image seo, here are some additional steps to keep in mind:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Are your images readable when reduced to a thumbnail? If not, then crop them.</li>
<li>Make sure your /images folder is not excluded in your robots.txt file</li>
<li>If you do a Image Search and scroll over images in the search results, you will notice that that a descriptive text shows up about that image. It can be the filename, the HTML Title, or text near the image. If you currently have images in Google&#8217;s Image Search, review these images and make the descriptive text compelling. Do a site:yourdomain.com search on images.google.com. Review your images and determine how they can be improved.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>So, how are your images? Are you maximizing your images? Come On. Confess Up!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Almost un-noticed by many webmasters and seo specialists, Google has come out with a major shift in thier ranking signals as of last December, 2010.</p>
<p>The question was put to Matt Cutts, Google&#8217;s search engineer, &#8220;Does Google use data from social sites [Twitter, Facebook] in ranking?&#8221;</p>
<p>He comes out and states that they do in fact use Facebook and Twitter as a ranking signal, but he goes a step further. Google is now stating a major shift, and the shift is that they are listening to the Buzz and Chatter going on at the social media sites to figure out the &#8220;reputation&#8221; of a author or creator on Facebook or Twitter.</p>
<p><center><object width="560" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ofhwPC-5Ub4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ofhwPC-5Ub4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1&#038;enablejsapi=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="349" id=’ytvideo’></embed></object></center><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>If you are wanting to catapult your Brand, or Company, or Name, in the search engines, then you want to incorporate a social media seo strategy into your overall game plan.</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>The SEO GAME is no longer just about:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creating unique content (although great unique content certainly will be shared, if asked)</li>
<li>Online seo and then getting a bunch of backlinks at free blog sites, press releases, and article directories (which Google has recently punished anyways).</li>
<li>The pagerank of your website and the pagerank of your backlinks</li>
<li>Making sure you have incontext anchor text backlinks</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can do all the above and still your website is not high in ranking.</p>
<p>THE SEO GAME HAS CHANGED</p>
<p>A <span style="text-decoration: underline;">key incredient</span> in today&#8217;s seo game is the <strong>&#8216;reputation&#8217; and &#8216;buzz factor&#8217;</strong> that your website and name/product is having in the social media circles.</p>
<p>Google uses their &#8220;<strong>Real Time Search Engine</strong>&#8221; to monitor the buzz being created on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, etc. I did not pay much attention to many of these sites from a SEO standpoint because most are &#8216;nofollow&#8217; links, but apparently, Google does&#8230;and now I need to fully change my seo strategy for Real Time SEO.</p>

<p><strong>2.</strong> Secondly, drill down on your keywords using <a rel="nofollow" href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal " target="_blank">Google&#8217;s Free Keyword Tool</a></p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Put Your Keywords In Your Title and Description (this is key)</p>
<p>If you look at the REAL TIME image above you will see that Google hyperlinks your TITLE and USERNAME of the social media site. Hence, you want both of these as a keyword. Many people use a John Doe as their username at Twitter, but if they want to brand a company or product, use the keyword. You&#8217;ll also see that Google includes the DESCRIPTION. Both the title and description are the two most important tags in Real Time SEO.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Make Your Title and Description Interesting And Clickable</p>
<p>If you want your clicks to increase, make the title very interesting, and use the description as an opportunity to wet the appetite.</p>
<p>Instead of the title: &#8220;Real Time SEO For Webmasters:</p>
<p>Change it to: &#8220;Top 5 Methods To Drive Traffic To Your Websites Using Social Media&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Put Social Media Icons For People To Share Your Content Clearly Visable On Your Blog Or Website</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="border: 2px solid black;" title="Social Media Buttons" src="http://markblog.s3.amazonaws.com/mediasharing.jpg" alt="mediasharing Top 8 Social Media SEO Tips For More Traffic" width="609" height="317" /></p>

You&#8217;ll see that I have the same premium WordPress <a rel="nofollow" title="Thesis Theme" href="http://www.markdulisse.com/likes/thesis" target="_blank">Thesis Theme</a> as this blog, but also a custom <a href="http://www.markdulisse.com/likes/thesisawesome" target="_blank">Thesis Awesome Skin</a> (top row, in the middle)</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Ask People Who Visit Your Website To Share Your Content</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> Use &#8220;Pay With A Tweet&#8221; To Give An Incentive For People To Share Your Content.</p>
<p>Here is how you use &#8220;Pay With A Tweet&#8221;&#8230;.</p>
<p>I have put together a killer &#8220;how to&#8221; video on the &#8220;Top 5 Google Analytics Custom Profile Filter Methods&#8221; This video will bring you right into my Google Analytics account as I show you what custom profile filters to set up that will help you cut out the noise of your web traffic so you can see what is really taking place.<br />

&nbsp;<br />
<strong>8.</strong> Share content yourself. When you see a great article, or blog posting, tweet it, Facebook &#8216;Like&#8221; it, Stumbleupon it, Digg it, etc&#8230;..<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; border: 0pt none;" title="Blackhole SEO" src="http://www.markdulisse.com/images/blackhole.jpg" alt="blackhole Googles SEO Blackhole   And What To Do About It!" width="200" height="192" /></p>
<p>You know what a blackhole is, right? Sucks everything in with a force so powerful. And, once you are inside, you cannot leave. The gravitational pull is so strong that you are trapped inside. Even a rocket blast will not get you out.</p>
<p>Google is doing just that. The term &#8216;Blackhole SEO&#8217; first was coined by the writers at <a href="http://seoblackhat.com/2008/09/08/black-hole-seo/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SEOBlackhat</a> and it refers to massive websites that get an enormous amount of links coming in, but they offer nothing going out&#8230;except perhaps a &#8216;nofollow&#8217; attribution link.  In fact, the only &#8216;dofollow&#8217; link juice they pass around is the massive &#8216;internal linking&#8217; structure that these websites have. We have seen the Blackhole SEO strategy played out with sites like Wikipedia and the New York Times. And what results do these sites have in the search engines? Well, it is obvious. search for almost any key phrase (ie, <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=ncH&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;q=internet+marketing&amp;btnG=Search&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;aql=&amp;oq=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">internet marketing</a>), and wikipedia most likely is one of the top results.</p>
<p>Google has been busy lately.</p>
<p>Matt Cutts, Google&#8217;s chief engineer, stated only two weeks ago that Google has done a huge algorithm shift:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking—a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries—and we wanted to let people know what’s going on. This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.<a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/finding-more-high-quality-sites-in.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">1</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, they only want unique content and websites that offer value, not spam blogs and copied content. The really don&#8217;t like it when webmasters try to artificially boost their ranking in the serps using spam blog farms or forums, or using copied content.</p>
<p><em>But, is not Google artificially boosting their own Youtube rankings in the serps?</em> Isn&#8217;t it interesting that Google is in fact creating a massive seo blackhole with themselves as the sole beneficiary. With today&#8217;s <a href="http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/flashquotes.aspx?symbol=GOOG&amp;selected=GOOG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GOOG</a> last trade on NASDAQ at $609 USD a share, when will it ever end&#8230;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never seen nor read anyone talk about this, but they are.</p>
<p>Let me explain&#8230;</p>
<p>1. The two largest search engines in the world are Google.com and Youtube.com. The two of these crush any other competitor. Bing, Yahoo, Ask, do not even come close to the volume of business these two search engines do.</p>
<p>2. Google and Youtube are tied to the hip in the search engines. Do any universal search, and what videos are prominently displayed? Youtube videos. Do a video search, and what videos do you see? 80% are Youtube videos.</p>
<p>3. Google has monetized Youtube with adsense, CTA Overlay Ads, pay per view videos using Google checkout, sponsored videos, Youtube partner program, etc&#8230;. When I visit the home page, I wonder what the cost is for that huge banner ad on top. It must cost someone a small fortune&#8230;.almost as much as a 30 second Superbowl TV ad.</p>
<p>4. Google is shareholder money hungry, and they have the monetizing incentive to put their own Youtube videos in the universal and video serps more than other video sharing sites. In other words, they are greedy or smart &#8211; probably both.</p>
<p>How has Google been able to do this?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Google.com is using Youtube.com&#8217;s huge seo blackhole to dominate their very own Google.com</strong></p>
<p>This is how it works. Just like Wikipedia or the NT Times website, Youtube does the very same thing, but it is more hardcore&#8230;and it is monetized like crazy.</p>
<ul>
<li>Youtube offers embed code on all their videos. Do you realize how many websites and web 2.0 properties have a Youtube embed code on them? Millions! This counts as a backlink to Youtube.</li>
<li>SEO people will backlink to their Youtube videos, or Youtube RSS Feed on external websites to boost their video rankings in the serps. This again is more backlinks to Youtube.</li>
<li>Youtube videos, and Youtube links, are all across the internet&#8230;everywhere. Even on Google.com (a pagerank 10 site).</li>
</ul>
<p>Okay, now watch this&#8230;</p>
<p>Youtube takes all this pagerank passed to them from other websites, and what do they do with it? They keep it. They tell seo experts not to over do it with &#8216;no follow&#8217; attributes on their websites, but then if you go to Youtube.com, you will see that every link going out is a &#8216;no follow,&#8217; except one &#8211; they offer a &#8216;dofollow on your channel page for your Website URL&#8230;and it is a raw url link.</p>
<p>One raw link they give you back. Big diddly squat!</p>
<p>This is where it gets interesting&#8230;and this truly <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>IS</strong></span> Youtube&#8217;s seo power:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Youtube&#8217;s SEO Internal Linking Is Powered By Its User Generated &#8216;Buzz&#8217; System And It Is Woven Together By A Social Community Platform</em></strong></p>
<p>We would be wise to follow their example on our sites&#8230;.</p>
<p>Whenever you subscribe to a channel, make a comment on a video or channel page, accept a friend request, create a playlist, add modules to your channel (Other Channels, Subscribers, Friends, Subscriptions), you are creating a massive internal linking powerhouse for Youtube.</p>
<p>How does this work? All internal links on Youtube are &#8216;dofollow&#8217; links, and channel usernames are &#8216;dofollow.&#8217; This basically means that pagerank freely flows within Youtube&#8217;s internal linking website. The following are some of the &#8216;dofollow&#8217; links:</p>
<ul>
<li>Channel Titles</li>
<li>Video Titles</li>
<li>Channel Usernames</li>
<li>Playlist Titles</li>
</ul>
<p>All of them are dofollow and pass pagerank.</p>
<p>A case in point&#8230;. As an example let me use <a href="http://www.youtube.com/ladygagaofficial" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lady Gaga&#8217;s Official Youtube Channel</a>.</p>
<p>As of today, her Youtube channel has these characteristics:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pagerank &#8211; 7</li>
<li>Subscribers &#8211; 416,200</li>
<li>Friends &#8211; 52,600</li>
<li>Comments &#8211; 89,900</li>
<li>Total Uploaded Videos &#8211; 24</li>
<li>Total Video Views &#8211; 135 million views (wow)</li>
</ul>
<p>So, her channel alone has 500,000 internal links, and if we factor in her 24 videos pages and look at all the comments on those video pages, as well as Subscriptions on people&#8217;s channel who have subscribed to her, we can probably add another 400k. Plus, on each video, she has thousands of Likes, and Favorites.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>This Is Where The Magic Happens: We Use Google&#8217;s Own SEO Blackhole To Our Advantage</strong></p>
<p>When you massively do some internal linking on your Youtube channel and videos (subscribing, friend request, commenting), and there is activity happening, your Channel and video pages will get Pagerank fairly quickly. Every time you add a new video to your Channel list, your video will be in the top of the search engines, both Google&#8217;s and Youtube&#8217;s search engine, because your channel has authority in Google&#8217;s eyes. If you do a video or channel and title it &#8220;iphone g3 accessories&#8221; and the do some powerful internal linking and creating Youtube activity, when you make a new posting on your channel with a new video and keywork, your video (with title) will be high in the serps.</p>
<p>Okay, this is where I self promote. Hey, it&#8217;s my blog&#8230;.I can do whatever I want..right?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tubefoolnow.com" target="_blank">Tube Fool Youtube Marketing</a> Software which I created with my genius marketing partner Alex Goad will automatically scrap hundreds of thousands of Youtube users and videos, and then will do internal linking for you with mass subscribing, friend requests, commenting, video sharing, etc&#8230; This will bring you a ton of activity to your channel and videos. <strong>The more Youtube activity, the more Google authority.</strong> Your channel and videos will become a SEO powerhouse that takes advantage of Google&#8217;s seo blackhole . When you upload a new video to Youtube with a keyword title you want to rank for, your videos will be high in the serps because of your Youtube authority. And high in the serps means high clicks and traffic.</p>
<p>Where else can you get thousands and thousands of backlinks for free, and on autopilot? Tube Groove will do that for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Thank you for visiting my blog. I know it has been a while since I made a posting, but rest assured, it is not because I am setting on my rear end.</p>
<p>You see, I launched a video marketing/seo product last month and in one seek we sold out at 1000 members. I&#8217;ve been real busy serving them.</p>
<p>I want to show you a real cool Youtube embed code trick to make your videos stand out from the crowd on your websites. Many of the gurus launch products and use amazon cloudhosting for their videos. The benefit is that it is in HD format, fast server delivery, and you can set the parameters to eliminate the controls, etc&#8230;.</p>
<p>But, there is a problem. It can be costly if there is a lot of traffic.</p>
<p><strong>Here is a Youtube embed trick to make your videos look just like the pros&#8230;and it is FREE.</strong></p>
<p><img src="" title="Youtube Embed Trick For A Sales Presentation " alt=" Youtube Embed Trick For A Sales Presentation " /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Youtube no-control html code can be <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.markdulisse.com/likes/youtubenocontrolbarcode" target="_blank">downloaded here</a></strong> (right clk to &#8220;save&#8221;)</li>
<li><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.markdulisse.com/likes/optimizer" target="_blank">OptimizePress WordPress Theme</a> </strong>(yes, that is my cleverly disguised aff. link)</li>
</ul>
<p>The trick to make it look like the pros is the following strategy:</p>
<p><strong>1. </strong>Compress your videos to HD format</p>
<p>For the highest quality, I recommend these settings when compressing your video for YouTube HD.</p>
<ul>
<li>H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 format</li>
<li>1280&#215;720 resolution</li>
<li>44.1KHz Stereo MP3 or AAC audio</li>
<li>Frame rate as 30p</li>
</ul>
<p>YouTube does accept a wide range of video file formats such as .WMV, .AVI and .MOV. But again, you may get the best results from converting your file to MPEG4 video with MP3 audio.</p>
<p><strong>2. </strong>Change your Playback Setup in your Youtube Channel to always play HD, and click &#8220;Save&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 2px solid black;" title="Youtube Playback Setup to HD" src="http://www.markdulisse.com/images/youtube-playback.png" border="1" alt="youtube playback Youtube Embed Trick For A Sales Presentation " width="591" height="445" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>3. </strong>Using the no-control html Youtube code given to you above, place the video on your website.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>4. </strong>Change your Youtube Video parameters in the embed code to the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>No related videos at the end- you want people not clicking off of your website at the end.</li>
<li>Autostart &#8211; not only does it force the visitor to watch, but it also counts as a Youtube view&#8230;which means higher rankings for your Youtube video in the search engines.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">Visit Google&#8217;s website which lists all the Youtube embed parameters that you can control.</p>
<ul>
<li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html">http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html</a></li>
</ul>
<p>When you are all done, you will have a professional looking video on your website that is HD, the player controls are not showing, is on autostart and has no related videos at the end of the video.</p>
<p><strong>5. </strong>I used the powerful <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.markdulisse.com/likes/optimizer" target="_blank">OptimizePress</a> wordpress theme as a squeeze/salespage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>There are really only two methods to get backlinks: (1)  Linkbait &#8211; this method is where you post great content on your site that webmasters will want to link to; (2) Go Out And Create Your Own Backlinks &#8211; this method is used by most of us who are into search engine optimization.</p>
<p>There are pro&#8217;s and con&#8217;s to both methods.</p>
<p>As for the linkbait method, creating great content is time consuming and the process is slow to get a lot of backlinks to your site using this method alone. Of the positive side, Google prefers the linkbait method, you tend to get good quality links, and is the most &#8220;natural&#8221; method of building links&#8230;albeit it can take forever.</p>
<p>Most webmasters will go out and create their own backlinks. This is done by link swapping, buying, begging, and posting content in a variety of places with a backlink to your site (ie, article directories, press release sites, bookmarking, etc.). The positive spin on this method is that link building is a lot quicker when you go out and create your own, but on the flip side, it is frowned upon by the search engines.</p>
<p>I do both. I create great content (at least I try to), and also I&#8217;ll create my own backlinks.</p>
<p>Watch this video&#8230;it will show you a system on how to get thousands of backlinks on complete autopilot using free blogging platforms:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is what I recommend, visit the web 2.0 free blogging platforms, and you will be able to quickly see which sites have the &#8220;Email to Blog&#8221; feature. Then, get to work <img src='http://www.markdulisse.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Backlinks Using Free Autoblogging Method" class='wp-smiley' title="Backlinks Using Free Autoblogging Method" /> .</p>
