So You Want To Market On YouTube

February 28th, 2010 davekeys No comments

You’ve probably noticed that sometimes you’ll see “Video Results for…” on a Google search. Wouldn’t it be nice to have your business right there at the top of page one with a video that sells your product? Yes it would.

Google is inexorably tied to YouTube but don’t expect the same level of consistency from the latter. YouTube may or may not index your video. You may or may not get a thumbnail image on an optimized YouTube landing page.

Always check up on your video’s indexing status before optimizing the page.

February 28th, 2010 davekeys No comments

The Palm Beach Gardens real estate and Palm Beach County real estate video SEO campaign is underway. One video indexed right away and the other simply seems not to exist. I’m going to post it a second time and see what happens.

Meanwhile the BallenIsles homes for sale video is already doing well.

Working on SEO for PTEC DAF

February 23rd, 2010 davekeys No comments

I saw one of my clients on page one just briefly. Then when I checked an hour later, back on page two. That’s always a sure sign of where you may end up if your current pace of SEO continues IMHO.

The client was in an industry that treats processing wastewater using dissolved air flotation, a bonding of various waste particles to microscopic air bubbles. Polymers are used to cause bonding to the bubbles. The sludge is skimmed off the top of the moving water.

OC Wedding Photography

February 21st, 2010 davekeys No comments

One of my earlier retouches in photoshop. The original photo was pretty much washed out in the background due to exposure required for the subject bride. I cloned in the clouds from another photo with the stamp tool and blurred them. I had not yet begun using bracketing.

Poolside in PJs

A little too cold for the outdoor pool unless you’re just climbing into it while empty to play in your PJs.

Purple After The Rain

February 21st, 2010 davekeys No comments

After our last major rain storm in Orange County, I took a morning walk in Fullerton on the hiking trails by the Brea Dam. The sun was out and spring flowers in February were the norm.

Winter in OC

February 19th, 2010 davekeys No comments

I took this shot two weeks ago in Fullerton right in the middle of winter. You’d never know it that morning unless you looked across to the snow covered San Gabriel mountains. A mist was rising from the warming ground and these cacti were ready for their closeup.

Dead of Winter in Orange County

February 19th, 2010 davekeys No comments

It’s all a matter of perspective. Our winters are nearly the equivalent of a New England summer but I guess that’s why our real estate values are so high.

SEO For Images?

February 18th, 2010 davekeys No comments

I was just driving around thinking about how databases work (Google is one of the largest databases) and about thinking outside the box for SEO. Then the idea came to me to optimize for images directly. This is part of an assessment of that idea. Can you optimize an image and have it show up in “image result for…” on Google? I suspect you may be able to.

I’m trying an optimization for something with little competition, my name, Dave Keys which is fairly unique- not too many blokes are named Keys, and only a very few of them are striving for any web presence so results should be rapid if this theory works.
