Traffic Geyser - Anyone know if you're allowed to use your own videos?

Dee Scofield · 02-23-2010, 03:37 PM

Traffic Geyser has a $1 21-day trial offer going on right now, and I'm thinking about trying it out. But I don't see any info on the sales page that indicates I can upload my own videos for them to distribute, it only talks about how you can easily make videos with their own service.

I might want to make videos with Traffic Geyser too, but I also make videos with Animoto and I just want an easy way to distribute them.

Any Traffic Geyser members here that could shed some light on whether it would work for my purposes? I looked for a Contact link on their sales page but couldn't find one...

Thanks!

Yes you can use your own videos... that is the primary purpose.

Josh, thanks for taking the time to answer my question!

Hi Dee,

Traffic Geyser does have a feature called SlideShow Creator where you can design your own video and it will render it for you. But it takes a long time to get your audio/music insync with the slides so you are better off creating your own video with Camtasia or another program and uploading it into your media manager within Traffic Geyser.

Can you spin the video descriptions within traffic geyser (or submit spun syntax)?

Sue Rogers · 02-25-2010, 12:03 PM

Hi Scott,

Traffic Geyser does offer the alternative of a multiple submission which allows you to create one video and tag it with several long tail keyword phrases, but not different titles or descriptions. It is much better if you just do a new title and description using the same video and submitting it all over again.

Does that help?

Thanks for answering and clearing up.

You can't submit the same video to all the sites. They will be rejected as duplicate by Youtube, etc.

What I do is add a video title, or change a transition by a couple seconds, etc...

Is there any time bound?

Sue Rogers · 02-26-2010, 02:14 AM

Hi Tanu,

I have been able to submit my videos to YouTube one after the another in a matter of 2 hours. I had no problem using the same video, but did change the title and keywords before hand.

I have heard that Traffic Geyser will change the video into various formats (mp4, wmv, etc.) and that allows you to submit the same video again. Is that true?

Sue Rogers · 02-26-2010, 02:45 AM

Hi Hykau_Man,

You can upload your video in different formats. TG will submit them it's just that some sites won't accept certain formats and MP4 is the format most used. So when they are submitted you may receive a notice and have to change the format.

If you select the multiple submissions feature, the video will be rendered into a different format. Starting with WMV, then MP4, MOV, then AVI in that order. If you upload one of these renderings then it will be used as the first, then the remaining ones will be used in succession. If you uploaded a rendering different than these four, it will be used first follwed by the other three in that order.
