The Power of Video ~~ Social Media site Scribd strikes back!
Posted on | January 16, 2008
The power of video. How could one man’s video’s force a major change in a social media giant’s TOS? Read below to find out.
But first, let me ask you. Who has their social media campaign in full swing? Do you have a Myspace or Facebook account yet? How about using the Social Media content sites like squiddo, hubpages or Scribd? Well you won’t want to miss the relaunch of Netwave Marketing next month. I’ve really been honing my Social Marketing skills (thus the reduced # of posts) and will be sharing what I have gleemed from many hours of testing and slaving over a hot computer keyboard. Now is the time to sign up to this blog! If you already have, I think you and hope you are finding the info useful. Be sure and drop me a line at sam@netwavesolutions.com and let me know what you would like to know more about.
So on to my story. It seems that a presale video launched by an individual with a now famous Internet Marketing Instructional site, StomperNet.com was responsible for exposing a major loop hole at Scribd.com. If you don’t know, Scribd is a major social content sharing site. When you sign up for an account, you are allowed to publish all kinds of your fresh, relevant content which then gets eaily indexed by the search engines. Its like article marketing on steriods! And, like most social media sites, they can provide a flood of highly qualified traffic to your site.
Until two days ago, you could post anchor tag links in all of your submitted material. “Anchor tag links”? If you don’t know, these are links to your website using real words instead of your website address.
So a normal link to your website in an article could be “Visit us at www.netwavesolutions.com“. To increase your Search Engine ranking, a more desirable way to link to your site would be “For all of your online software needs visit us today“. By using keywords, like “online software”, your site receives more importance in the search engines ranking algorythym.
But enough techno-jumbo. Stompernet.com recently released a presale video for a new course on social medai they are starting that stated that Scribd was one of a few social content sites that allowed these links. Now this is HUGE because social content sites generally are very favored by search engines and so, any links from them are also favored.
Well, a flood of internet marketers rushed to put up their “spammy” content full of anchor text links to their sites, which prompted Scribd.com to say, “Wait! we will no longer allow any links in your content”. This is a crying shame to those of us that would use Scribd.com in an ethical way to market our wares. What’s worse, is scribd pages with these links are now being pulled down and accounts being closed! Yikes!!
So the moral is, above all, when using social marketing, always provide valuable content first, try and help others second, and then and only then may you attempt to market!

You Tube will be scared.
Why will YouTube.com be scared?
How does this affect you?
Read on…
There is a fairly new site that just went live in 2007. You are
one of the first people to know about it.
The owner of the site was a speaker at a
workshop earlier this year I attended. When he spoke
about this site, he was literally mobbed back
stage for 2 hours.
Why?
Well, the truth is YouTube.com is a phenomena
but it is also filled with so much junk like people
reciting Gieco commercials or doing the chicken
dance in their basement.
This new site is combining ecommerce with
the YouTube concept.
Imagine, if Amazon combined with YouTube
with a Google Search Engine…
Why the hell does this matter to you?
Here is why, and why you will run over
to this site and get started.
This site has an affiliate program that allows
you to embed video on any site you want
just like YouTube. But when the person goes
to the site and makes a purchase, you get
paid.
That’s right… You get paid for promoting
other peoples videos.
On top of that, there is a 1 year cookie.
But here is where it gets even more important
that you get started today.
This is Web 2.0 at it’s best. The videos
have the latest technology to that will allow
ratings, relevancy, and scoring.
So that means, videos with more views will
be more relevant than others.
So like the
want to be the first to get going in your wagon.
As you set your videos, and the sites “Tips”
to one of the top 100 sites in the world, your
videos will have more views because of
first movers advantage as you load content
and place the relevant tags for it.I am predicting, that this site may be part of
a major corporate buy out by Microsoft, Google,
or Yahoo in the next 18 months.
You are among the first to get going with
this project to help start the content.
I may be thinking a bit big here, but I have
been watching behind the scenes from the day they
made the purchase for the domain name.
Look, you have nothing to lose because
you can signup for free.
Plus, as I said, there is an affiliate program
to allow you to signup new members and get
paid on their efforts for 1 full year.
That is another reason why you want to sign
up RIGHT NOW and
1 - Let everyone you can know
2 - Start loading content
3 -Start streaming other people’s content to
earn money.
Oh, the site is by Brad Fallon. One of the leaders
in web 2.0 and search marketing and when you
see this site you instantly see the vision.
