Google Search Results Now Offer Video Previews

Written by AffiliateResources on March 28th, 2011. Posted in News, SEO

Have you noticed a little magnifying glass icon in your search results?

This is Google’s new feature where you can now have a preview of the search results websites prior to clicking any of the links. Yikes! Talk about making a first impression!

Well, since Google has implemented combined search results including videos, they have decided to implement video preview of any video search results.

Here’s what I mean..

I just searched ‘How to fix golf slice’ and here is the result. Within those 4 window panes is a snippet of the video that I have hovered my mouse over. at the top of this video preview is a small volume icon where you can even listen to the video snippet.

As affiliates, how do you think we can take advantage of this opportunity?

Does PageRank Matter on Your Own Site?

Written by AffiliateResources on January 14th, 2011. Posted in Quick Tip, SEO

Hey Folks – just a quick tip on PageRank today and why it’s not that important for your own site.

A Quick PR Definition..
A pagerank (or PR) is measure of importance according to Google.

But does a high PR ranking matter on your own site?
Unless you’re giving away links on your site, then the answer is no.

For online marketers, PR is only considered when searching for high quality backlinks.  The higher the PR, the better the backlink.

So at the end of the day.. focus on other people’s page rank and not your own.

    But does PR matter when you want your website to be exposed?

    Really nice blog Jay! I like your layout. I do have a question about Socrates. Do you know, once you buy Socrates, can it be still be utilized if you happen to change host servers? I was at Mattie Blaze Hosting & now use Wealthy Affiliate as my host. It’s a long story but that’s the core of it.
    Thanks, John

    OCI stands for Online Commercial Intent and it’s a way to gauge if the keyword is a ‘buying keyword’.
