Using video for reeling in prospects

7 replies
I have seen a number of WSOs and references to using a video (usually for free) for a prospect to get their site ranked higher or to get the video to page 1 or both.

Can anyone tell me why some videos show up with a thumbnail and some do not?

I did this for a client and got their site to page 2 with the video itself on page 3. It was a freebie so I did no more linking work to push it further - it was just to show them what can be done with video.

They emailed to say thanks - they got 2 clients from this effort and have a number of business owners in the same area that they will recommend me to.

So little work and hopefully a few clients from it.

    Frank,

    I'd like to know the answer to that as well. Was just looking at some of my videos today wondering exactly the same thing.

      Drifter:

      have a few WSOs on it - have maxed out the video itself as far as SEO goes - it's on page 3. That's without any backlinks. So I guess a few backlinks and it will go higher. Was thinking of Fiverr as well.

      Thanks,
      Frank

        Ok going to answer my own question here. the video is now showing up as a thumbnail - it didn't for the first few weeks. Not sure why it is now. Maybe someone with more experience on video SEO would know?

    NOt sure but I think you will find it might have something to do with putting a video sitemap on your site.

    All depends on your on page seo and backlinks, sometimes the links take longer for google to find and as they do you move up the ranking.

    Plus if people like the video google gives it social proof which is the fastest way up the rankings at the moment.
