Los Angeles, California – United States – Los Angeles SEO industry leader Webwise Media this morning announced a list of new services that they will be offering both independently and as part of overall search engine optimization and marketing campaigns. Foremost among them was a new option for the development of video landing pages, something they had not provided previously.
“The effectiveness of video over static web pages and ads has become increasingly more apparent as time has gone by,” said a company spokesperson. “There’s a reason why YouTube is now the fourth most visited site on the web. People prefer video. It talks to them, literally, and eliminates the need to think or figure out what to do next. A video landing page can say in few seconds what might take pages of text to explain on a traditional web page.”
YouTube, in a relatively short period of time, climbed from obscurity to take the number four spot referenced by the Webwise spokesperson. The traffic statistics can be verified by Alexa, an independent firm that tracks visitor and traffic information on the web. The only destinations that get more traffic are Yahoo, Facebook, and Google itself, which happens to own YouTube.
“As an internet marketing company with over a decade of experience we have seen how the web has evolved since the turn of the century,” said our spokesperson. “By recognizing when those changes are made and how they affect search engine optimization we have stayed consistently ahead of any of our competitors. With YouTube in the Alexa Top Five we know that Google is now indexing video landing pages, so we’ve been encouraging our clients to incorporate them.”
The details of the Google algorithm that is used to calculate page rank are kept secret by the search engine giant but the reasoning put forth by Webwise Media on video landing pages makes sense to many industry insiders. Common sense suggests that if Google has a video posting site in the top five they will put more weight on video productions.
