There has been a lot of discussion recently concerning the value of multimedia including videos. pictures and audio appearing in search results. Google is now displaying more and more information on each page of its search result and this is valuable for users.
I have been using the internet for over a decade and do not have that same length of experience with SEO, and I know that as an internet user you are likely to click through to the more interesting multimedia results thatn the website links. This way the client is sure to get traffic through these forms as well as with high ranking web page results. They could end up being the only company above the fold when they have well optimized results for video, images, web pages, blogs and local search.
With this in mind I have had a look around the web for some sites with which you can create images. You can use computer software or internet based services to create basic and more technological videos. I have had a go at designing a video for this blog-but be warned-it is very very basic! It does however show you the type of information that you can fit into a multimedia video.
Enjoy!

Following my recent post on the introduction if SideWiki to the Google toolbar, I have already started seeing comments full of spam. Whilst the spam is related to the webpages that the comments appear on, it is spam nonetheless. It remains to be seen what Google will do to try and reduce this or if it intends to take any action at all.
To see how effective spamming SideWiki comment posts is remains questionable, especially since few people have yet to start using the new tool.
Confabulations will keep you updated with all the latest news!

October is an awareness month for many causes, and now the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) has teamed up with Google, government agencies, schools and non-profit organisations to promote cyber security tips and tricks with users of the world wide web. Whilst this campaign is really only taking place in the US, we can all learn some important information on keeping ourselves, our children and other internet users safe as we browse the web. Google has created a cyber safety channel on YouTube with Google experts sharing their security know-how with the rest of the world. If you live outside the USA you can still take advantage of the other initiatives that the NCSA is undertaking by visiting their website at www.staysafeonline.info or watching the videos from Google on YouTube.
