<p>Video has long been a favourite tool of mine for promoting photography websites. It’s a strong visual medium ideally suited to photography, and it’s a powerful SEO tools that gets great results, very fast. The big factor there is, Gogle and the other search engines give videos and the video sharing sites a lot of respect, so even when it’s difficult to get a page to rank for a specific phrase, you can often rank a video instead, and use that to drive traffic to the page.</p>
<p>In the video above, I show you how I created a video for a lightbox page, all in about 5 minutes, and then completed a few simple promotion steps, to get it listed and indexed in 40+ video sharing websites. It really is super easy when you’ve got the right tools, so check it out, then have a look over the resources listed further down the page.</p>
<p>As a guide to how quickly this works, I created the lightbox page about 8pm on October 1st and I ran the standard GlobalEye ‘broadcast’ submissions shortly after that. The video was created and submitted about 12 hours after that. I’ll add a follow up video later on to see how the various pages are ranking.</p>
<h1>Resources & Links From The Video</h1>
<h2>Animoto</h2>
<p><a href="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?id=41000613802223907&pubid=21000000000546852"><img alt="508971_Magic-Stars-300x250-22" src="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_impression?lid=41000613802223907&pubid=21000000000546852" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Animoto is the powerhouse of this approach. You can test this system out with a free account, and if you decide to use it regularly, I’d highly recommend you consider the ‘Plus’ upgrade for just $39 a year. You’ll get some additional video templates, royalty free music tracks and you’ll be able to make longer videos.</p>

<h2>Mass Ping</h2>
<p>This is a free service that lets you ping multiple URLs to 80+ search engines at once. We recommend you use this to ping your photo/lightbox pages, your video on YouTube, your video on Animoto, plus you should write a short blog post announcing the new content and ping that as well. If you use Fiverr to get your video submitted to 40+ video sharing sites, the Seller should give you a list of URLs when they’re done… you can ping that entire list as well to really get things moving!</p>

<h2>Fiverr Video Submit</h2>
<p>Fiverr is a great resource for finding people to do various SEO tasks for you. For Video Submissions make sure you give the Seller a good title, your target page link, and a keyword rich description. One word of warning with Fiverr promos… don’t be tempted by people offering mass submissions and thousands of backlinks. That sort of thing stopped working a long time back and these days Google will actually penalise your website if you over do it!</p>
