Man when I heard Ogilvy, yeah, that Ogilvy , had an all new online video offering they were dealing out to their clients, I said “Self, we need to talk with them and find out what that’s all about!” The other half of me, whose task it is to answer such statements, agreed, and so I got down to emailing people.

For some time now, “moving to L.A. to break into the movie business” has been the clichéd pipe dream for most creative young Americans.  I live in Nashville, and I can tell you that a close second is “moving to Nashville to become a country music star.”  But the digital world may be changing all that.  In a few years’ time, the most common pipe dream might very well be “starting my own YouTube channel and making a six figure income,” if it’s not already.A new study by TubeMogul —a leading video advertising and analytics platform—reveals that there are at least 10 YouTube stars making an annual income of $100,000 or greater.  The study covered t… Read more..

Videos’ impact on search rankings has been discussed here rather extensively in the past.  A few months ago we  interviewed Search Engine Marketing and Optimization veteran Bruce Clay who helps clarify the importance of on-site videos for search rankings: “In the case of video, we believe that as one of the more important engagement objects, Google has actually started to build it into the algorithm.  To us, that means if your website has engagement objects on it,  video or mp3…  it is going to be received by the algorithm better and your site will actually have an opportunity to rank better
