Laser Targeted Video SEO

By Andy Beard | Published: April 15, 2011

A couple of months ago we introduced some new Video SEO features into the uQast player and now all the wrinkles have been ironed out, including some work arounds for sub-optimal code within WordPress core in regards to oEmbed, a large chunk of it is working as intended.

This is a presentation I did live for the current uQast founding affiliates at that time. It was presented live but I hope most of the audio is understandable.

The keyword term used in the search engine visibility example was “Body Wash”.

We still have the doors open for 2 more weeks for founding affiliates to get in at a special fixed rate before we switch to monthly subscription with our chartered launch.

There is a special offer only available to webinar attendees.

I have spent the last 5 months working with the uQast team and my official role is uQast Product Manager… the viral SEO features I spent a long time working with our development team refining the code and I am confident no one does it better… but it is only a start.

Very soon we strap on the booster rockets for rocket propelled Video SEO giving people a reason to share great content.

I am an employee/consultant with uQast, an affiliate and power user, and the video seo features are my baby – damn yes I am biased.

    I actually reproduced the slides so it shows full quality, but left the audio with all the bloopers left in.

    Hope you enjoy it.

    Gonna have to check back later, doesn’t play on an iPad. Is that a uQast issue?

      Hi Brett

      I am not aware of anything that has changed which would prevent our current ipad solution working, but with some of the server changes going on it wouldn’t surprise me that something gets broken.
      I let the tech guys know there is an issue.
      Our level of support for iphone/ipad is currently only playback – we will be switching to cupertino (Live Streaming) soon, we already use Wowza, but we still won’t have a dedicated interface for the shopping cart features.

      There is actually another issue that has crepted into the code that will get fixed Monday.

      For thumbnails we for some reason are using the one from the audio bin rather than the video one.

      Also for some reason for videos in the embed code we now have

      http://www.uqast.com/globals/inc/image_output.php?image=http://media.uqast.com/AudioThumbs/2827_thumb.jpg

      Which looks really horrible when the Video one looks nice

      This is the importance of eating your own dogfood and lots of the uQast features I want to be using daily on this blog so any issues get picked up faster.
      Code is still in daily flux until we hit our chartered launch when things will hopefully stabalize more.

    I love that you are biased…at least about the product you are working on. I am excited about the prospects of video SEO. It will definitely cause some revolutionary changes.

    Hey Andy,

    Don’t worry there’s nothing wrong with being biased because you’re proud of your work. I checked out your link and I might be attending the webinar on Sunday at 11:00. I need to learn more about video SEO and just web 2.0 in general.

    I’m still not convinced that the economics of video production are the way to go when considering an SEO campaign. Are there any specific features that I can’t get out of regular blogging and content production?

      I suppose it depends on your niche and whether you have something to say that other people will find worthy to share.

      The cost to create a video is relatively minor if you don’t go crazy on production

      uQast isn’t just a video delivery platform – whilst you can upload other forms of media such as PDFs & PPT, soon we will also offer those as an embeddable player with similar features.

      All embedded content becomes rocket propelled with the affiliate platform and shopping cart.
