Here’s a couple of testimonials I got from participants of my recent SEO Workshop organized by Finggle.
After conducting numerous(more than 15, I think) SEO Workshops and SEO Web Design Courses over the past 2 years, I found that foreigners were more forthcoming in giving testimonials.
And the following one by a Search Marketing Analyst with Fairfax Digital, Sydney, Australia. Watch the video below and find out why he came to Singapore to attend the SEO Workshops…
I have just uploaded a video testimonial on SEO Web Design Course recorded 2 days ago. This video featured Terence Yap of BPI Technology (S) Pte Ltd who attended the SEO Web Design Course on 6 Oct 2007.
Terence registered a new domain and created a new site, www.MoldReleaseNanoTechnology.com to test out what he learned at the course. To cut the story short, his new site was ranked in the first page of Google for his targeted keywords within 2 weeks. He was very surprised but overjoyed with the results.
Now, I know why people are turning to Youtube.com instead of watching the TV. And it has a lot to do with The Long Tail phenomenon.
Don’t know what is The Long Tail? Then you need to go get the book by Chirs Anderson at Amazon or if you are in Singapore, grab it at Popular Bookstore - it’s 20% off!
The long-tail phenomenon will “re-shape our understanding of what people actually want to watch”…
With Youtube, people can select what to watch and when to enjoy these short movies. And this is what the long tail is all about - virtually unlimited choices.
Youtube is like a huge video library with unlimited racks filled with users contributed video clips from all over the world. These may be home-made or recorded from TV broadcast or professional produced movie trailers.
And I think I’m addicted to Youtube the long tail concept already!
Here’s an example of what I enjoy - although I don’t understand a single word of what they were talking!
However, with the really bad not-so-good video quality of Youtube, I am not really looking to be entertained but rather to gather information. I hope the day of dvd quality streaming will not be too far away so that we can really replace the TV and be entertained with HD images and surround sound.
