Here are the seven “must-do” for hosting your videos:
- Choosing a file name – Your video file name should contain keywords when possible. File names like 120609video1.mp4 describe absolutely nothing important to a search engine, where as embedding keywords like droid-x-review.mp4 will help the engine identify what the video is about. Just like image files, search engines have a terrible time figuring out the content of a video file is and must rely on external signals to define what the movie is about.
- Tell the viewer what you want them to do – At the end of the video steer the viewer towards your intended goal.
- Break up your content – Having multiple video files lets you target more keyword combinations, and makes it easier for viewers to zoom in on the specific content they’re interested in. Say that you’re making a product installation video – don’t make the viewer wait till the end of the video to see the troubleshooting section. Break it out into a separate movie that they can watch when they need it.
- Use text in your videos – Sprinkle text in your videos where it makes sense, and include keywords as well. OCR Technology is making great strides and it’s just a matter of time before Google will be able to index text characters in a video and use that as part of the algorithm. Stay ahead of the game!
- Make your voice and audio tracks clear – This is not just for the benefit of your audience. YouTube is working on video transcription, which will lead to them being able to index content in your video. Google owns YouTube – the technology will likely make it into the crawler at some point, so make it easy for them, and of course, mention your keywords from time to time.
- Everygreen content – Avoid specific references to time and dates in your videos unless it fits the theme. Doing so can make the video seem stale and out of date when it’s not necessary.
- Embed your brand – Use your logo, Web site URL, Phone number or other appropriate branding signals in your videos.

4 years ago, an accident took my beloved away and very often I wonder, how does my wife, who is now in the heavenly realm, feel right now? She must be feeling extremely sad for leaving a husband who is incapable to taking care of the house and the kid… ‘coz that is the exact feeling that I have, as I feel that I have failed to provide for the physical and emotional needs of my child, and failed to be the dad and mum for my child.
There was one particular day, when I had an emergency at work. Hence, I had to leave home whilst my child was still sleeping. So thinking that there was still rice leftover, I hastily cooked an egg and left after informing my sleepy child.
With the double roles, I am often exhausted at work as well as when I am home. So after a long day, I came home, totally drained of all energy. So with just a brief hug and kiss for my child, I went straight into the room, skipping dinner. However, when I jumped into my bed with intention of just having a well-deserved sleep, all i heard and felt was broken porcelain and warm liquid! I flipped open my blanket, and there lies the source of the ‘problem’…

This was at Balan Beach Resort Opol.
As usual, I was the designated host for this event and I enjoyed it. Had a lot of games and prizes(Movie passes!!) in stored for our teammates and they sure love it! We started around 9 in the morning, had a sumptuous lunch and then kicked off with games. I personally loved the booty shaking game, the players were asked to write their signatures on a paper, and then, write it on the air using their fine a$$eS. lol. Mark of the MIS department was sure proud to win the game.
The pictures says it all. Enjoy! Stay tuned for more pictures coming. Click the “Like” button below if you like what you see.:)

Sudden Talk of a Google Social Network – Google Me.
Rumor has it that Google is developing the next new thing in social networking, Google Me. Google has made several, not so successful, ventures into the social networking realm. Their recent Google Buzz and Google Profiles have both failed to make any big waves, but there is talk that perhaps with Facebook getting slammed for privacy issues Google has a chance to move in.
Honestly though, the estimated 500 million Facebook users out there are so invested in their Facebook pages it would take something far more serious than a lack of privacy to get them to switch their loyalty to another company. Perhaps the complete and utter devastation of all farms on Farmville would do the trick?
