Traffic Geyser Review by Richard Igoe
April 22, 2009
Here are a few reasons why I think Traffic Geyser is one of the most powerful marketing systems available. I have done this review of Traffic Geyser to answer some questions my clients have had about whether to invest in this system or not.
We can see already that video marketing is mainstream. Internet Marketers like Frank Kern and Mike Filsaime are using video to create desire for their products.
I follow all the internet marketing launches and I don’t think I have seen any this year which have launched without a series of videos to presell the launch. The videos make the person selling the course much more real and believable, just like the video above with Mike Koenigs.
Tools like Traffic Geyser are going to make it easy for businesses to publish their own web videos online.
Google loves video content. Since it rolled out universal search you will see video listings appearing on the first page for many searches, and the reason is Google wants to integrate different types of media in the search results. If you have well-optimized video content you have a very good chance of getting it onto the first page of search results for any searches with less than 300,000 results.
But getting listed on the search results is not the only reason!
TrafficGeyser makes it simple to actually create the video, even if you have no experience with web video. It is virtually a push-button marketing system.
I have been using Traffic Geyser myself for a few months now and here I will try and answre some concerns that you might have.
Q. Can this just help me get backlinks to my site?
A. Yes – you can include your URL in the description which goes out when you publish your videos. Other sites which display your videos will show the link back to your site.
Q. Is Traffic Geyser a video production tool or a video distribution tool?
A. It is both. However the video production tool is really a means of turning media such as powerpoint slides, or photos, into a video with a soundtrack. This is very useful if you are doing a product demo or selling real estate. You can simply upload your photos and use the online video production tool to create a short video, then phone in on your telephone number assigned to your account and do a voiceover explaining your product or video. However the real benefit comes from being able to distribute your videos over the web with a few clicks.
Q. Is quality of video important?
A. It depends on whether you are trying to produce a documentary, or to market your business! Ask yourself what gets your attention. Is it a polished video production or is it someone giving a testimonial or a product demo?
What I do is use Camtasia Studio to do a screen capture and use a webcam to inset my picture in one of the corners, then I upload this and use Traffic Geyser to get it visibility. However if you have more time you can buy a flip video camera and make some simple videos of yourself explaining your product or service – then save to your PC and upload to Traffic Geyser.
Q. What about cost?
A. One of my business colleagues was recently quoted $14,000 to produce 2 videos for his furniture business!… I would go for $97 a month any day and there is a cheaper option if you only want to do a small number of videos per month.
Q. Is there any point of distributing to so many social media sites?
A. Yes – the more people who see your video, the more people will hear your message therefore why not try and reach as many people as you can? Furthermore the more sites that you post your video content on, the better for your search rankings.
Q. Is this spamming?
A. Submitting to different video sharing sites is just ensuring your content is found by as many people as possible. Just like you would want your site to be found on Google, Yahoo, and MSN. I don’t class this as spam.
I have only mentioned a fraction of what Traffic Geyser has to offer. There are great free videos on their website explaining what you can do in more detail, and helpful stuff like how to choose camera equipment.
You need to jump over to their website and watch the videos!
