If you didn't realize that video will take over online this
year, you haven't been paying attention.
Everything from video blogs to full-blown website
infomercials keep cropping up all across the Internet.
The driving force behind this video explosion is a
combination of cheap bandwidth, easy-to-use authoring tools,
and Flash video (a video format that works on both PC and
MAC).
With the sudden increase in homemade videos about everything
from "how-to break dance" to infomercials about real estate
products, it seems only natural that another explosion
should follow: the appearance of numerous websites that
showcase these homegrown Steven Spielberg's.
In fact, these online videos have gained so much popularity
some have even crossed over into mainstream television.
Of the three main online video hosting services I looked at,
they all shared the following characteristics.
They all allow you to upload your video and host it free of
charge, making it super easy for even the most technically
challenged videographer.
They all allow visitors to search their sites using
keywords, so describing your video and choosing a good title
(with keywords people search for) will help increase your
exposure.
One of the most exciting features common to these sites is
that they allow you and others to get copy-and-paste code
that you can place on a blog or website (or anywhere else
you can paste html code) and display a video without hosting
it yourself.
This one feature can cause an explosive "viral" effect if
you create a video that appeals to a mass audience because
people can not only pass it along, but post it in additional
locations for everyone to see.
Video.Google.com - Google's video service makes it possible
to upload and play your videos for people searching through
their growing catalog of homegrown video.
You'll find everything from web-cam karaoke to infomercials
and "live" seminars. One of the best things about Google
video is the daily report about how many pages views your
video got during the previous day or week.
Also, Google allows you to charge for your videos if you
want, something the other sites don't yet offer.
A disadvantage of the service is that, of the three, Google
Video takes the longest to approve your videos and make them
available, sometimes taking 48 hours or longer to make a
video "live."
YouTube.com - YouTube seems to want to foster a feeling of
community with its video portal.
Unlike Google Video, which requires a separate software
program to upload video, YouTube allows users to upload
video right through their website interface. Of the three
sites profiled here, YouTube's embedded player makes it
easiest to share and pass along video from a blog.
They also approved my video and had it live online in less
than 10-minutes.
IFilm.com - The coolest thing about IFilm.com is the fact
that they have a show on VH1 every Friday called "Web Junk
20" which features the funniest web videos of the week on
real television.
They also actively promote the concept of "viral videos"
with a separate category in their directory profiling videos
you want to share.
The only negative was that their pass-along player forces
viewers to watch a short ad about IFilm at the beginning,
something the other two don't do.

How To Milk Your Content For All It's Worth With RSS - by Lynette Chandler
RSS, Newsletter, Blog, Website…with so many places you can publish your web content to, how do you choose; especially when articles and time to publish them is limited. Besides, why should you publish your content in so many different formats? If you've been doing business online for any amount of time you know that building a list is integral to success. Regular website content brings search engine robots back. So do blogs. Blogs also help build your expert status and RSS is the new way for people to subscribe to your content without giving out their email address – among other things.Ok, so you know it's all good and they will help build your business, but how can you do several or all without piling more work on your already full to do list? It's really quite simple. Make your content work harder and milk it for all it's worth.Instead of publishing your newsletter entirely by email, publish it to a content management system or blog that will automatically create an RSS feed each time you update it. Your next step is to put that RSS feed into your mailing list manager* create a signup box as you would a regular newsletter and put it on your website or blog in a prominent area together with the RSS feed. It, probably won't take more than a few minutes if you already have everything at hand.From now on, people can choose to subscribe to your newsletter by RSS or email and every time you publish the newsletter to your website or blog, RSS subscribers will see that you have new content and people who opt-in for email will receive an email notice. To top it all off, the content is also archived online permanently and all you did was type and publish one time.You know the amazing part is, that's not all. You can syndicate your newsletter for more exposure. Contact a few webmasters and ask them if they'd like free, automatically updating content on their websites. Create the codes for them so it's super easy for them to add you. When they do, the next time you publish your newsletter, their website gets updated immediately. If anyone wants to read more of your content, they would be brought to your site.RSS is truly an exciting technology. Not only does it open many doors for you to share your content, it can also help you work smarter by cutting down your work as you read above. There's no reason why you shouldn't have an RSS feed today and if you already have one, it's time you should milk your RSS feed for all it's worth.*Note: Not all mailing list managers can take your RSS feed and convert it into email updates.

Warning. Opportunity to make $24,000.00!
I am pasting here a part of the Introduction Page from Global Trading Corporation Group International where they state the work to be done for a client family. The interesting part for us all is the possibility to earn a one time $24,000.00 plus a referral comission of $2,000.00 per successful applicant. And with no risk at all.
It's up to you if you sign up or not. And in case you do, my referral URL is:
Click Here To Earn $24,000.00
--Here begins introduction--->
Introduction
Before you continue to read this page, please allow me to state very clearly from the start that we are not selling anything, nor are we soliciting investments.
Global Trading Corporation Group International is a small investment company specialising in emerging markets and secured private placement programs. An opportunity for one of our clients has arisen which will enable you, and our client, to make a guaranteed profit. Let me make it clear again that we are NOT soliciting for investment funds and you won't be required to invest anything, other than your time.
Our client is a family trust with $1B to invest. We recently presented them with an investment opportunity to make a return of 18% without risk. Unfortunately, this opportunity involves the purchase of certain restricted financial instruments in the Asian markets. Due to regulation, the purchase of these instruments is restricted to $200,000 per person (or trust or any other entity).
We are therefore unable to invest any more than $200,000 of our client's funds. We presented our client with a possible solution, to which they were agreeable. Our solution is very simple, as I'm sure you may have preempted already. We require 5,000 people who would like the opportunity to earn a share of the return WITHOUT any investment required. Once we reach this number, each person will have a trading account established in their name. Each account will be funded with $200,000. The trading cycle will then begin, which lasts for just over one month. At this stage, the profit will be split between our client and the participants. Of the 18% return our client will receive 5%. 1% is reserved to pay the referral commissions (see below), and the remaining 12% will be paid to each participant, of which you could be one without any investment required on your part.
If you decide to take part in our opportunity, you will receive $24,000 approximately one month after trading begins. The trading cycle will commence almost as soon as we have enough participants. The only thing we require from you is permission to establish a trading account in your name with a well known trading firm. You will not be liable for anything. The trading firm will send you a copy of their terms and conditions along with a form that you will need to sign and return. The terms and conditions explicitly state that for this type of account, you are not liable in any way. In reality there's no possibility of losing money in this type of trade, so the issue of liability is purely hypothetical and we only mention it here for your own peace of mind. You will NOT need to pay anything, or supply a credit card number or bank account number. All we require from you is a signature.

“Top 10 Tips For Generating Big Traffic To Your Blog Today”
(C) Copyright Ewen Chia, http://www.EzineArticle.com
Let’s face it, blogs (or weblogs) are getting incredibly
popular amongst people with an internet connection due to
the ease and practicality of setting one up.
Despite this however, there is no value in having a blog
if no one is visiting and reading it!
Therefore, it is important to know exactly how to drive
traffic to your blog if you desire to increase your
readership or monetize it.
To do that, here are 10 quick tips to generating more
traffic to your blogs:
Tip 1: Reciprocal Linking
One of the most proven ways to gain targeted traffic is
to exchange links with other bloggers or site owners.
This is a task which requires a little work – by sending
an email request for a link exchange with a few follow
ups but the results are worth it.
Another linking method is to simply write a testimonial
for a product you have purchased. If your testimonial is
good, product owners will usually publish it on their
sales page with your blog URL included.
If you want to skip the traditional way of exchanging
links and go for the easier way, you can automate the
process with various software and services found on the
net. Just do a search at Google.com and you will have
a list of these.
Tip 2: Blog Commentaries
Do you know that your comments also have high potential
in generating targeted traffic to your blog and is an
effective linking strategy?
All you have to do is find a blog related to your niche
and post your comments. At the end of your comments you
can include a link back to your blog, this way people who
are interested will be able to visit your blog as well.
However you should never misuse this to spam other blogs.
Tip 3: Blog Directories
Blog directories are similar to search engines just that
they cater only to searches for blogs. It is advisable to
submit your blog to the major directories, some of which
include feedster.com, technorati.com and blogstreet.com.
Similarly, there are many blog services like pingomatic.com
which you can use to ping your blog. Pinging your blog
notifies the service that you have updated your blog.
These services will then publish your new posts and you
get traffic from interested readers and search engines.
Tip 4: Writing Articles
This is one of the best ways of pulling targeted, steady
and long-term traffic to your blog. By writing your own
articles and submitting them to article directories, you
can invite a lot of targeted visitors to your blog.
In order to generate traffic by writing articles, you
need to include your resource box at the end of every
article you have written. The resource box is where you
promote and introduce your website or blog.
To truly maximize your results, you need a system to create,
submit and leverage off your articles easily. One of the best
available is seen at http://EzineArticle.com/aa.htm
Tip 5: Writing Press Releases
Press release is a very effective way of generating instant
traffic to your blog. Although press releases only pull in
short-term traffic, they can work very well if you
continuously write and submit press releases regularly
while monetizing the traffic received.
PRWeb.com is one of the oldest and most trusted sources
for news distribution on the web. Or you can use an automated
press release service like http://www.SubmitYourPressRelease.com
to do the work for you quickly.
Tip 6: Start A Blog Mailing List
The phrase “the money is in the list” is true in all businesses.
If you want to succeed online, you must start building your own
list of targeted subscribers. You can send your subscribers to
your blog anytime you have new posts.
By the same token, you can also get your blog readers to
subscribe to a ‘blog update’ list which can be used to notify
them when you have updated your blog. REPEAT traffic through
returning visitors is a key traffic strategy and you can
control that with this method.
Tip 7: Publishing Your Own Ezine
You can also provide your subscribers with useful information
in several series with an autoresponder. An ezine is often
called an online magazine. By publishing your own ezine, you
are able to attract readership to your blog when you advertise
it in your ezine.
Tip 8: Pay For Traffic
If you have a good monetization strategy for your blog through
affiliate programs, Google Adsense and a mailing list, you
should consider using paid advertising to drive traffic to
your blog.
Recommended options include pay-per-click advertising, ezine
advertising and huge banner exposures.
Tip 9: Giving Out Free Reports
Give out free viral reports to promote your blog. Providing
useful information in your free reports can trigger readers’
interest to know more about you and your websites. More
information on this tactic can be found at
http://www.MiniEbook.com.
Tip 10: Niche Discussion Boards
Discussions boards or forums can deliver targeted traffic to
your blog. If you have a blog about gardening, try searching
for a related niche forum with huge traffic to participate in.
Most forums will usually allow you to include a signature file
where you can write a few sentences of words. You can invite
people to visit your blog through the signature file by posting
more regularly.
In conclusion, realize that getting traffic to your blog
should not be viewed as a one time effort.
Commit and focus on a long-term strategy in order to succeed.
It is all about gaining the momentum. Once you get a decent
amount of traffic to your blog, you will attract more visitors
to it everyday as you work on it. As time goes by, you will
have an amazing amount of traffic to your blog which you never
thought was possible!

What Is a Blog – The History of Blogs - By Jason DeVelvis
What Is a Blog – The History of Blogs
by Jason DeVelvis
What is a blog? A blog is a combination of a personal webpage and a journal – in some cases. In other cases, it is a way to get customer feedback. Others use blogs as a personal journal. There really is no answer these days to what is a blog, simply because a blog can be many different things, with many different uses – depending on the blogger who is blogging.
Blogging officially began in 1994 when a student, Justin Hall, began his personal blog. He blogged for eleven years, and he is recognized as one of the earliest bloggers. A weblog was originally a combination of a personal webpage and a journal. This is still one definition of a blog, but there are many other definitions as well today.
The term weblog was invented by Jorn Barger in 1997, but it was shortened to Blog by Peter Merholz in 1999. The word blog may have actually been a typo. Peter used the phrase ‘we blog’ in the sidebar of his weblog. Blogs started popping up more often on the Internet in 1999, and in March of 2003, the Oxford English Dictionary added the words weblog, weblogging, and weblogger to the dictionary.
Since 2003, blogs have been increasing in popularity. People have blogged about current events, war, politics, television shows, television stars, terrorism, and almost any other topic you can imagine. Blogs are used to inform people about services and products by allowing people to post reviews of specific services and products. They are used to stay up-to-date on events that occur within families, clubs, organizations, and businesses. Blogs are used to swap recipes, to learn, and to vent. If you can think it, it is probably on a blog someplace.
Blogs have gone from personal journals to a way to inform the public and discuss politics and world events to business use. Yes, people make money with blogs. In fact, blogging can earn you a very nice income if you know what you are doing. One blogger even auctioned his blogging services on EBay for thousands of dollars! Niche blogs are used to earn money as well. These are blogs where a person writes on a very narrow, yet popular topic, and uses affiliate programs or Google AdSense ads to earn revenue.
A blog entry was even used to catch a killer in May of 2005, when a person was blogging and mentioned in his blog that his sister’s boyfriend was at the house – right before he and his sister were murdered! Blogs have been used to figure out what caused people to commit suicide, and even to figure out why some people have committed crimes.
Teenagers were the first large group of people to use blogs. Blogging became a favorite past time between the years of 2000 and 2004. Teenagers still blog, but adults have caught the blogging fever as well.
Over the short years of blogging history, blogging has become simpler in some ways, and more complicated in others. Today, using a service such as Blogger at http://www.blogger.com anyone who has access to a computer with an Internet connection can be set up and blogging in less than five minutes. In that way, blogging has become simplified. However, RSS has come into the picture, which in some ways makes blogging very confusing for beginners.
