YouTube has become a traffic monster...
Posted Oct 31, 2009 @ 10:48 am, Viewed by 239 Visitors, Read 249 Times.Yesterday afternoon ComScore reported that there were over 10 Billion (yes that is a B) videos viewed in September alone. Here is one account of what that means that I hope you will find interesting.
In case you did not click on that link and read to the bottom, please do. These statistics are telling. YouTube is WELL ahead of Yahoo in terms of searches as well. And look right below that to the video of Coldwell Banker at SES 2009. Interesting at least to me
Google was #1 with 9.4 billion expanded search queries.
YouTube was #2 with 3.5 billion.
Yahoo! as #3 with 2.7 billion.
Bing was #4 with 1.2 billion.
Granted, much of it is teenagers viewing fun stuff. My kids came to me and told me to check out the Vitamin String Quartet doing Bohemian Rhapsody (grin- go to YouTube do a search for it and check it out....I am not kidding!) But 10 Billion is a huge number for just thirty days.
With that kind of traffic, it makes sense to find a way to funnel some of it your way... If anyone here has had success with that as a REALTOR, fire up a comment below and let's discuss!

I have started doing video testimonials for past real estate clients at the close of every successful transaction. Trying to get team members to do the same even bought them their own kodak HD pocket camera for the office but people aren't using it. I uploaded all 6 videos to my Google LBC profile but honestly haven't seen any sort of results from it. I tried to use a good sampling of keywords in the description on youtube but maybe I need some tweaking. My channel is mbennicolas if you want to check it out.
