One Giant Leap for Online Video Advertising – Solidarity

What form of marketing is it you ask? Well if we’re covering it here at ReelSEO you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s online video.

The Death of User-Generated Online Video Content?
AccuStream iMedia Research believes that the end of the user-generated content era is close at hand as outlined in their recent report Pro Online Video Views 1998–2012. Last year, they say, there was a 25% increase in prodfessionally produced content on the web. This content generated 41.6 billion views. However if I remember correctly last year saw a lot of broadcast companies jump onthe online bandwagon.
