Dave’s View – Video and SEO – the perfect marriage
 Dave Harries |
|
We’ve been hearing from our customers for some time that putting a BizView video on their site seems to be pushing them up the search engine rankings.
We asked SEO specialist Steve Dye of Digital Trading Creative to research the subject for us and he confirmed that video does seem to have a very positive effect on your Google ranking.
He also came up with some low cost methods to further enhance your video’s visibility to search engines.
We were so impressed that we’ve decided to offer Steve’s services as a simple low cost add on to our video productions.
So BizView doesn’t just make and host video – we’ll help you make sure it gets watched as well.

Exhibitionist tendencies
|
|
We're about to exhibit at our first ever exhibition.
The Best of Bristol show takes place on Tuesday 3rd March at the Lakewood Conference Centre in Blagdon (just 20 minutes from Bristol city centre).
Apparently it’s a beautiful place, well worth a visit even if BizView weren’t there.
If you’d like to come and chat to us about web video, we’d love to see you there.
Directions can be found on the Lakewood website.

We’ve just completed a new video for the Four Pillars Hotel in the Cotswold Water Park.
The hotel is set in such stunning surroundings that it was a real pleasure filming all the external shots.
In fact it was such a nice day we even shot the main interview beside the Hotels beautiful, wildlife filled, lake.
If only David Attenborough had been there we could have filmed our own wildlife documentary.

New On-Site Video Profiles – a Hit with the Chamber

|
Following the announcement of our new on-site profile videos in the last newsletter we have now completed a series of 5 videos in association with the Tetbury Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
These videos are an ideal vehicle for retailers that are using the web to enhance their high street business, offering very affordable, professional video that gets to the heart of what the shop or business is about.
Chairman of the Chamber, Kathryn Limoi commented, “This is such an innovative way to showcase our members. I was amazed at the professionalism and high quality of these films. They offer a really effective way of telling the world about our members and given that they are of such high broadcast quality, the cost is more than competitive".
PS.
A lot of you have been asking when we’ll be doing more of our Profile Video filming days.
This is our smart new entry level professional video product that proved such a hit last year.
Well, we’ve now got our first dates for 2009 with one in Andover on 17 March and a day at Bath University on 2 April.
If you’ve never seen these perfectly formed little video portraits, check out the link here for lots of client examples.
If you want smart professional video on your website at a snip, give us a call and we’ll book you in.

Paul's View – A favourite video from the web
 Schweppervescence

Time to slow things down a bit.
You've probably seen a water filled balloon burst in slow motion before.
But perhaps not as beautifully as this
You have 90 seconds to experience... Schweppervescence.
