What’s Happening Here? More Updates
Since my last post, I’ve moved one website off photography and made it a fully SEO oriented blog. The neglected OC photographers website has moved to page one after a new title, leaner theme and a couple of posts and back-links. The Orange County SEO website is tougher, staying on page three. I have to admit, I’m curious what would happen if I switched the call-to-action part with the keyword part of the title.
ActiveRain unexpectedly awarded me 1000 points for hyper-local challenge, which I had thought was over but- hey, points are always good on ActiveRain.
My YouTube videos seem to take minutes to show up on Google, a couple of weeks to drop off and then a couple more to show up for good.

More on Video Optimization
Be sure your video is indexed prior to optimization. Performance on non-indexed videos can do as well as the indexed ones but will appear without a thumbnail. One recent video, BallenIsles Homes For Sale placed on page two and one for the two keywords chosen.
Keywords follow the same formula in video as for any other source inasmuch as the indexing is based upon these elements and not the video itself.
SEO in video is more successful because of diminished competition compared to that associated with organic search.

A Bit About Tertiary Links
This is about tertiary links. It’s also a little bit about homes and real estate because that’s the whole point of my work here. Why tertiary links? Because, sometimes a back-link alone gets no “juice.” You build a blog, you insert back-links, the blog posts get indexed and stick. But then you perform a search to see what the results are and you discover that you got, perhaps one out of ten back links credited. Why? The site has too little value and the verification is squat. Everyone is selling homes and real estate is highly competitive. Homes for sale is a term that is abused and populated more than almost any online offering. You have to do a little more work and cite the blog from another source to prove anyone anywhere might even see it. This is where the inflation factor kicks in. Tertiary links from third party sources go further in verifying that the blog post is anything more than just a link source. Example: I’ve placed links to several real estate related videos on my strategyiskey.com blog but nothing is indexed, much less credited. This Menifee homes post is of little value unless it’s verified from another source like this one.

HeadSpace vs. All-In-One SEO Pack and Video SEO on Youtube
I have no scientific basis for this, or even a measured assessment. I just like All-In-One SEO a little better. That said, I’m leaving HeadSpace on this blog because, 1. I’m a little lazy and don’t want to do the work. 2. I’m still curious enough to eventually run some comparisons. This blog’s use is a little different, but I could start a series of similar posts and compare…
Oh and also, I really want that La Cresta homes video to get off position ten. Think I Can? We’ll see.
I’m actually having fun with the video thing- I like producing them and Keynote does some really fancy stuff right out of the gate.
Orange County wedding photographers is another topic for which I created some of those short videos and they’re doing fairly well in such a competitive environment.
Now if Google will just get busy and index this. SEO is always just a little unpredictable. It’s like Forest Gump- you never know what you’re gonna get…
