Fliqz Launches Online Video SEO Tool

Video solution provider Fliqz has announced the launch of a new online video search engine optimization (SEO) tool. The tool is dubbed SearchSuccess and Fliqz says that companies who tested the product are experiencing early success.

A whopping two-thirds of the videos submitted by these early customers have reached first page Google rankings. 25% have seen the number one position.

“SearchSuccess addresses many of the common flaws in existing Video SEO strategies,” said Benjamin Wayne, CEO of Fliqz. “Many publishers are mistakenly under the impression that submitting videos to YouTube will drive traffic back to their site, or are working with video platform providers whose search engine submission techniques are either ineffective or drive traffic to the platform provider rather than the publisher. SearchSuccess is the first product to ensure search ranking while guaranteeing traffic is directed to the publisher’s site.”

One customer experiencing the early success is Design World Online, who has produced videos for topics such as 3D CAD models and OEM machine building. They’ve submitted 1,000 videos and 700 of them are already ranked on the first page of results.

“One of the most critical parts of our business, aside from generating quality content for our users, is helping engineers find and engage in our community and resources,” said Marshall Matheson, vice president of New Media for Design World Online. “Using Fliqz to optimize our videos has directly impacted our bottom line as not only has it resulted in a significant uptick in traffic but increased visitor engagement and conversion rates.”

SearchSuccess is available as an add-on to Fliqz’s Gold Edition video solution.

Time to update WordPress again. 2.8.3 is out. Seems like I just updated last week. Oh I did. Another exploit? SQL Injection? Don’t know.. but better safe than sorry.

Adding API to RSS-Spider

Over the past year, one of the things I get emailed about constantly is support for an API. People want to be able to add in RSS-Feeds without having to come to the site and sign in every time. So hold on… API support is coming soon. You’ll be able to generate an API key for use with our system and then build apps & other cool tools to add RSS feeds, RSS channels to our database PLUS with little api programming pull activity reports.

Right now the API is in closed beta. I’ll be opening it up in Q3 some time so stay tuned.

Don’t wake up the BABY! Turn the Windows BELL OFF!

11 PM Friday night… Working on a project tonight in the Windows version of MySql terminal, baby sound asleep in the next room, I’ve got my speakers turned way down and am listening to Drone Zone on Somafm.com when I copy & paste a rather large sql update query into my dos MySql window.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* plus its WAY LOUDER than I have my actual volume set at! What the HELL! *BEEP* *BEEP* and on and on and on and I couldn’t close the window. Then the baby’s up and crying bloody murder!

Baby back to sleep at 1am.
