Is anyone still wondering if search is important for video? In November of last year, YouTube surpassed Yahoo for the first time in total U.S. search queries, making it the 2nd largest search engine in the U.S. next to only its owner, Google. Ever since then, YouTube has continued to dominate the search space when you look at the total number of search queries.
Caffeine, what was once just a sandbox at Google for those who have too much time on their hands, take SEO as the word of god or write about this sort of thing is ready to stream into the veins of the internet after the holidays.
Today I wanted to share an interview with media agency executive Robert Davis, Interactive Marketing Director/Leader of Interactive Video for Ogilvy Interactive. Robert tells Andy Plesser of Beet.tv that they have seen a tremendous rise in traffic to video content coming from search engines, especially over the past 6 months.
“We are also seeing a tremendous search value from video now…
Yes, now you can watch your YouTube reputation in real time thanks to new discussion search functionality.
As mentioned on Techcrunch this morning, there’s a new player in the world of video search. Well, I should say there’s a new site aiming to be a player in video search—video “discovery” to be exact.
I recently interviewed Lori Weiman, CEO of the online reputation management company The Search Monitor, and tested out her company’s Competitor and Trademark Monitoring tools, which her company announced to have the ability to monitor and segment actual video results across organic search listings, multiple web channels and websites. The main question I wanted answered was: Is this a good tool for search marketers and reputation management professionals?
While doing a recent search on Yahoo Video for my favorite advertisement of all time (the Cadbury Eyebrow Dance done by Glass and a Half Full) I found that they’ve implemented a Play Here button. As it’s interesting, I thought I would share with you. But what is more interesting is what it means to you.
Today I read an interesting post over at SEORoundTable about a video that is appearing within Google universal search results for the search “Rambha.” Rambha is a famous Indian actress and according to the post, the video result has already been reported to Google by Rusty Brick, the author of the post as well as an individual claiming to represent the actress well over 24 hours ago. I have also reported the video. Why are we reporting the result to Google and why am I posting this?
You hear the question probably every week “what are you in the mood for?” Well OpenTV and Jinni are taking that question literally with their new partnership that will let you find video content based on your mood. I wonder what will show up when it turns black?
Sure searching by keyword, category, genre, actor and even director are cool. But what if you want to search by happy, sad, neurotic, insane, depressed or flabbergasted? Well, you might not be able to search by flabbergasted, but you should be able to do so by most of the others starting with the latest version of OpenTV’s Core2 middleware which is set to launch near the end of the year.
I’ve been playing around with the just-announced Google Caffeine sandbox (www2.sandbox.google.com – which is down for “system maintenance” at the moment), trying to discover any subtle differences I can find between it and the current live engine. There aren’t many. A lot of people in the SEO realm have weighed in with their initial thoughts; I thought I’d add my own.
I stuck mostly to video-related queries, since that’s what we talk about here at ReelSEO.com, and the verdict is…
Digitalsmiths claims to have a so-called ’skin detection algorithm’ that will allow users of the video search engine to search for dialogue, nude scenes and more… How peculiar.
VideoSurf, and innovative video search engine that utilizes computer vision technology (facial recognition) to assist with video indexing , has developed a quick and effective way to search for videos directly within Twitter. By combining the Twitter API, bit.ly API, and VideoSurf API, they have created a mashup that makes it simple to search for videos without ever leaving the twitter stream.
