Elements of Off-Page Optimization
Sample Internet Marketing – Link Building Strategy
Let’s create a video for our video marketing. First thing we should do is to post the video to YouTube and Vimeo with nicely written, highly optimized, unique content under different titles with our keywords as links pointing to our website.
After we post our video, we amplify ourselves through out social media outlets, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn for each of videos.
We create a page with all of our videos and post each one of videos to this page with unique and optimized titles. Once this is done, we create a separate page for each one of our videos with a highly optimized content as our video embedded to these pages.
Update our Site Map, as well as Google Sitemap to send a ping to search engines to come and index our site with fresh content.
We then post the same video to our blog with a nicely written, unique content and link the content back to our main site.
Ping the RSS aggregators to deliver our blog throughout the internet, along with pinging the search engines with our Google Sitemap to come and index our blog with fresh content.
When we post our article to our blog, we again use our social media to broadcast our post with our video through Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+.
If we wanted to be more aggressive, we prepare about ten unique and highly optimized articles, and post them to web 2.0 sites with our video embedded. Once this is done, we again amplify our posts with our videos through social media for every single one of our posts.
This way, rather than putting our video on couple of video sites and considering it video marketing, we use our video all throughout various outlets, and amplify it to create a buzz over the internet.
