This isn’t exactly video-related in and of itself, but the news itself could have far reaching implications for anyone trying to rank video and other content on Google.

In Part 1 of our coverage of the YouTube Creator Playbook’s metadata section , we discussed the general overview of how titles, tags, and descriptions help people find your video through YouTube’s search engine.  We also talked about how good metadata isn’t the main way people are going to find a video, that it needs to be a popular one before YouTube’s search algorithm begins to favor it.  It’s still important to write good metadata for that very reason, to take a video to a new level of discovery in those times when the link isn’t handy.  In Part 2 of the metadata section, we will discuss how to properly write and format tags, titles, and descriptions. Extra!  Extra!  The Title Needs To Be Compelling! People who want to consider themselves “above” playing to sensationalism are in the wrong business here.  The title should be something that people want to click.  It does need to be relevant to the video at hand, but that doesn’t mean it can’t appeal to a person’s base instincts.  If a title can somehow include sex, violence, or something curious or morbid (or maybe all of those things), it gets clicked just out of inquisitiveness.

A rapidshare search is a third party service given to those who want to back up their files. Before going fully into this however, the concept of backing up files must be covered especially when it applies to files, documents and such. Since these files are almost always important to a user, they must be preserved and protected, or rather backed up, in one way or another.

Most backups are done on the same PC. That is when a new user presses the backup button on the utilities menu, he or she unwittingly uses some valuable space on the drive. The more they do this, the more space is used up. In the beginning it is a good practice, but as time goes on it can be disadvantageous due to loss of valuable space on the hard drive.

What can be done then is to save the back up files outside of the computer. One can also use CD or DVD burners to save extra copies of important files. A high capacity USB drive can also be used for this purpose. Most importantly however is that these storage mediums should also be kept in a safe place away from dust, moisture and heat.

An obvious disadvantage for actual physical backup and storage in a box later on is it can be affected by memory. If someone who has done this has a poor memory or recall then they can easily become lost. This has quite a frequent likelihood of happening so another option has to be found. Therefore a good suggestion is to store backup files and duplicates online with several of the file sharing and storage services now available.

Most services online now allow you to upload files to an online server so you can have more space on your PC. Most people do this to share files with others, while others do it purely for backup. The services that allow users to do this sometimes are free, but a paid service will give one more space and faster upload times also.

The first thing one must have in backing things up online is a fast and reliable connection. This is so that you do not spend so much time uploading your files. Likewise there are precautions that need to be take when subscribing to a free site. One can lose all the data he or she has uploaded if there is a system crash or the company that owns the site closes down. Thus it pays to look at the fine print and ask questions from the operators.

Some sites for a fee will make an extra back up of the files you uploaded. This will ensure you are protected in case of a site or server crash. The fee usually comes bundled with the membership, depending on the offer.

Once uploaded you can choose which files you can share with others on the internet. This is possible on most or all sites. However the service does not include a listing of the server contents. The directory listings according to categories or most of the time file extensions, is done by third party service providers. An example of this kind of directory search service is provided by filesmore.com for Rapidshare clients and users. There are many others providing this service for all kinds of upload sharing sites. However, the main drawback of these directory sites is the refresh rates of their searches which can take several hours to even a few days, so that sometimes the search results are not so accurate.

When you are looking for information from the Internet, you can locate it more easily using the facilities of Rapidshare search. The Rapidshare search engine is a sophisticated and helpful way to access information more efficiently.
