A fellow marketing professional and blogger e-mailed me recently about some serious shenanigans that youtube is up to regarding censorship of users accounts with no explanation of what caused the precise reason for the consorship in the first place.
My friend’s name is Devon Brown and he’s known as the Success Renegade. Devon recently had his youtube account placed on “probation” which means he can not upload any videos to it and it basically has to sit there without being usable until someone at youtube says it’s o.k. for him to continue to upload useful videos.
Devon has a dedicated fan base and following, I like his work and have met him in person so I can say with confidence that he is a stand up guy and a true “Marketing Professional”.
I encourage you to go to Devon’s Blog and read about this dilema that is flat out Wrong! <—Click Here
This situation is not the only person that this has happened to and Devon give some examples of other sites and people that this has effected as well, he also goes in depth about the specific problem.
The bottom line is youtube who is owned by google is not a client friendly organization when it comes to providing customer service. Devon is asking for some help in spreading the word about this bogus corporate policy and I support him 100%.
Go check out his blog and leave a comment if you have ever had a bad customer service experience with a major online service provider?
So here is the back story; Jason Moffatt (one cool marketing professional) e-mailed me the other day about a blog post with a video that really inspired him so I went to check it out and let me tell you – I am glad that I did!
Eric Thomas has one incredible success story, he has been low and gotten back up to attain success and he talks about how you can do it as well so I want you to watch his YouTube video, heck I watched all his videos over this past weekend they are that good.
Thanks Jmo and thank you E.T.

Recently while consulting on a website design and optimization project my client was not worried how the website would look or perform. It turns out that my clients bottom line concern was about how to get people to come their website once it was created, optimized, and online.
I proceeded to lay out a plan that would deliver traffic at an increasing rate if applied and implimented on a consistent basis.
1. For an initial burst of traffic I recomend implimenting Click Thru Marketing, a good resource to use is: http://wwwGoneClicking.com
2. Next you should submit your blog or website to Google and yahoo, 77% of people use Google so you must have your site submitted there first including your site map. It may take a few days before your blog or site shows up in the search engines so do not worry if on the first or second day your site is not listed.
3. Now you should start gathering back links and joining social networking sites such as FaceBook and MySpace, and tell people what your blog or website is about plus how it can help solve their problem. Go to Google and type in keywords that are related to your blog or website. Contact the websites or blog and tell them you would like to exchange back links with them. A good back link list numbers around 100 or more so it will take some time to establish however it will be worth it in the long run.
4. Make sure you optimize your blog or site for the keywords that you want to target.
5. Next, establish a Youtube account. There are over 40 million users that visit youtube every day. If you are not promoting your website with Youtube you are missing a lot of worthy customers and clients. Always use a catchy title for the video and advertise your video on other websites.
6. Another great way to drive people to your website is by using Google adwords. As an addition to Google Adwords you can also use Adsense to put your ads on other people’s websites which is an additional way to earn money as well. If you want people to come to your website sign up for Google adwords, it does not cost much and can return a greater sum than the amount you invest. Your ads will be listed on peoples sites containing content like yours and on the Google search engine itself! If you do look into this just sign up for a Google account and go to Adwords it can be well worth your money.
