10 Ways To getting More YouTub views



10 Ways To getting More YouTube views




The difference between just uploading a video on YouTube, and uploading a video on YouTube that gets LOTS OF VIEWS, can actually be pretty small. What’s surprising is that most people don’t know how to jump the thin line into the “lots of views” boat. What’s even MORE surprising is that jumping the line doesn’t always rely on great video content! In fact I’ve seen a million amazing videos attracting barely any views. Considering YouTube gets 24 HOURS of new uploads every minute!, maybe the fact that some get noticed and some don’t isn’t that mystifying after all.



Here are few stats to get you excited about the potential to increase YouTube views on one of the most popular social networks…






1- Name your video file with relevant keywords before you upload to YouTube. For example: if it is about your "cute cats" then the obvious name for the video file is cute-cats.mov.


2- Title your movie with catchy keywords AND BE SURE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. Similarly you need to create a title that contains your keywords but at the same time is enticing to click. You may even want to go to YouTube and see what is already there when you type "cute cats". When I did that, the number one video that came up was a video with 30,000,000 views titled "Surprised Kitty (original)". One technique is to title your video with a similar title to another popular video. E.g you could use something like "My cute cats are cuter than 'Surprised Kitty'". This will give you a good chance of ranking in the "related videos" section of YouTube and therefore bring a ton of extra views. Here is the free tool from YouTube that enables you find the most popular keywords.


3- Fill out the video description with at least 2 - 3 paragraphs of text. This is an important step that most people overlook. YouTube wants to know what your video is about and the video description section is the best way to validate this. So I recommend you either write a 2 minute transcript of the video or at the very least 2 paragraphs explaining its contents. It should include all your main key words in a natural way.


4- Put all the keywords from the title and description in the "tags" section. The next step is to fill out the tags section with all the main key words and phrases that relate to your video. This is a super important part of YouTube SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and really helps your video show up in different search results. For example you could use; Cute, Cats, Surprised, Kitty, Original, Funny, Rat, Loves, Cat, Kitten. These tags are based on both the example video’s keywords and the keywords of other popular YouTube videos.

5- Share your video with all your friends - quickly! YouTube loves new videos and gives them an extra chance to rank well in the first week or so after being uploaded. So to take advantage of this, you'll need to be a ninja and share the video in every way you know. Get Facebook likes, send it to your Twitter followers, email it, and tell your friends to do the same if they like the video. If you have a Facebook fanpage then this is perfect content for that page and depending on the fan base can quickly get you a lot of views.

So to take advantage of this, you'll need to be a ninja and share the video in every way you know. Get Facebook likes, send it to your Twitter followers, email it, and tell your friends to do the same if they like the video. If you have a Facebook fanpage then this is perfect content for that page and depending on the fan base can quickly get you a lot of views.




6- Make a video response to an already popular video on YouTube. Using the above example of the "Cute Cats" video, the perfect video response choice is Surprised Kitty. This means that your video will appear below this video that has already had over 30 million views. If your title and thumbnail are enticing enough then there is a good chance you'll get 1000's of referring views.

7- Encourage sharing, allow comments, video responses and embedding of your video. Everyone likes to be heard and if you allow for comments then you will give people that chance. The other thing about comments is that it creates a community around the video and if a conversation is taking place then people will keep coming back. Allowing video responses to your video means a lot of extra people could link to your video via theirs, resulting in many more views. Similarly, if you allow anyone to embed your video on their website, it is like free advertising and the video could easily end up all over the internet. This is often how the most views are achieved with a video.

8- Embed your new video prominently on your website to create 2 way traffic. This serves to give your video a link but also additional views that don't require someone to see it on YouTube. All you need to do is to go to your video on YouTube, click the "< Embed >" button and copy the code. Then go to your website and paste the code in the html wherever you want the video to appear on your site.

9- Have your fellow bloggers reference or embed the video on their site as well. If you have friends who also have websites, ask if they can embed the video for you. Having them write an article is also very good and will increase your views tremendously depending on the traffic they already receive to their site.
10- Be active. If you log in frequently, people will watch your channel frequently.
So there you have it - How to get more views on YouTube in 10 simple, quick and free steps.

The main ingredient in building the knowledge of how to optimize your video for YouTube is achieved with practice. Like most things, the more you practice, the more skilled you will become. As a result, the more traffic you generate, will in turn create more business opportunities. By utilising this social networking site you'll figure out all kinds of little known tricks and be expertly guided through many tips and techniques that will help raise you above your competition. Good luck and enjoy hours of fun while you learn to be a Pro YouTube

Computer Skills

 
 
Our clients typically ask for technical communicators who have substantial technical experience in the computer industry. To improve your chances of finding fulfilling work, we've compiled the following long — but by no means exhaustive — list of skills that have historically been of interest to our current and potential clients.
Please ensure that you include in your resume those entries from this list (and others of which they remind you) with which you have experience, so that we can work more effectively to secure for you the staff and/or contract opportunities you seek. Ideally, for each skill with which you have experience, it would be useful if your cover note included the following information:
the model and/or version of the product with which you worked
how many years of experience you have with it
your level of proficiency (expert/strong/medium/light)
the month and/or year you last used it
what you used it to do
Table of Contents
Clicking on links in this section will take you to a list of related key words and phrases. And clicking on a title in that list will return you to its entry in the table of contents. (Please feel free to suggest changes to this list; we fully acknowledge that it will never be complete.)

LG Optimus 2X



LG Optimus 2X review



The world cried out for a dual-core smartphone and LG and NVIDIA answered the call. Actually, the world only ever dreamy about multicore mobile architectures up until late last year, but sometimes that's all it takes to get those zany engineers engineering. So here we are, in early February 2011, beholding the world's first smartphone built around a dual-core processor, the Optimus 2X. This is a landmark handset in more ways than one, however, as its presence on the market signals LG's first sincere foray into the Android high end. Although the company delivered two thoroughly competent devices for the platform with the Optimus S and T in 2010, they were the very definition of mid-range smartphone and the truth is that Samsung, HTC and Motorola were left to fight among themselves for the most demanding Android users' hard-earned rubles. So now that LG's joined their ranks, was the wait worth it!


We’re not sure what to think of LG’s phone updating strategy. First they said the Optimus 2X will get Ice Cream Sandwich, only to flip-flop at a later date, with their Canadian branch saying the opposite. Now we have another proof that the update will actually be released; the information comes from LG’s Korea office, which is telling the world that the new firmware with Android 4.0 is currently in the testing phase.

 


Now it is possible that Optimus 2X owners in some regions will get the Ice Cream Sandwich, while in some others won’t have the same luck. Then again, that would be a stupid thing to do and we’re pretty confident LG doesn’t want to take that road, which will eventually produce a ton of bad PR for the company. In other words, we think every Optimus 2X owner around the world will get its serving of Ice Cream Sandwich sooner or later. As soon as we get the exact date, we’ll let you know. Stay tuned in the meantime

 Ultra books routinely match potent performance with luscious looks and a slim, sleek chassis, but such alchemy comes at a cost. This is where Asus’ VivoBook range comes in, offering similar style in a slightly portlier chassis. Our favourite so far is the budget VivoBook S200E, but the S400E is also appealing, combining a larger 14in touchscreen with a top-flight Core i7 CPU for only £700 inc VAT.




The curvy, 24mm-thick chassis isn’t slim enough for an official Intel Ultrabook sticker, nor, at 1.82kg, is it light enough. Despite those extra grams, though, it looks fantastic. The dark brushed-metal lid folds back to reveal a keyboard set adrift in a silver metal surround, and the stout, contoured base looks attractive from any angle.





There are no complaints about the S400E’s ergonomics, either. The glossy 14in touchscreen responds to the lightest dab and stroke of a finger, and the extra weight in the base means you have to prod hard before it rocks back on its hinge. There’s some flex in the Scrabble-tile keyboard’s surround, but the keys give way with a lovely, cushioned bounce. The buttonless touchpad supports all Windows 8’s edge-swipe gestures, as well as a range of two- and three-fingered dabs and flicks, and it worked well throughout testing.

The presence of a Core i7-3517U CPU is amazing for the money, and Asus has partnered the top-end processor with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard disk. The lack of an SSD puts a dent in overall performance, with the 0.63 score in our Real World Benchmarks behind models with SSDs, but it’s more than quick enough for most purposes.
 


However, unlike many of these rivals, there’s room to upgrade. Unscrew the base, and you’ll find an unoccupied RAM slot next to the laptop’s standard 2.5in HDD – adding more RAM and replacing the hard disk with an SSD is a ten-minute job.

Elsewhere, the essentials are all present and correct. Asus has put the extra millimetres around the S400E’s chassis to good use, squeezing in two USB 2 ports, a single USB 3 port, D-SUB and HDMI video outputs, an SD card reader and Gigabit Ethernet. There’s 802.11n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4 is included. Even the speakers are of reasonable quality.





Battery life is a touch disappointing at 5hrs 43mins in our light-use tests, but it’s only the VivoBook S400E’s display that lets the side down. Asus has opted for a glossy, 1,366 x 768 panel, and the backlighting is far from impressive. We measured a maximum brightness of 162cd/m2, the lowest we’ve seen for some time. The contrast ratio of 200:1 is no better, resulting in flat, lifeless images. The display isn’t a dead loss, however. Asus’ factory calibration means the panel’s colour response has been tweaked extensively, and the result is great colour accuracy.






There are plenty of areas where Asus could improve the VivoBook S400E – the display, the slight bounce in the keyboard, the overall weight – but for £700, those flaws are easy to forgive. It isn’t an Ultrabook, but the VivoBook S400E is a handsome, powerful all-rounder, and a perfect introduction to the touch-friendly aspects of Windows 8.

Hackers attack Twitter



Hackers attack Twitter, estimated 250,000 users' information compromised








The social media site is unsure who is behind the attack but it has reset passwords for the hacked accounts.

Twitter users beware. Your account may be compromised.

A statement posted on the Twitter blog says that an investigation showed that attackers may have had access to usernames, email addresses, passwords and session tokens for approximately 250,000 users.

"This week, we detected unusual access patterns that led to us identifying unauthorized access attempts to Twitter user data. We discovered one live attack and were able to shut it down in process moments later." the company said in a blog post by their Information Security Director Rob Lord.

As a precaution, Twitter has reset passwords and revoked session tokens for the accounts that were hacked. Users of those accounts will also receive an email notifying them to create a new password.

"This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident," Lord's post said. The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked.

For that reason we felt that it was important to publicize this attack while we still gather information, and we are helping government and federal law enforcement in their effort to find and prosecute these attackers to make the Internet safer for all users."

Lord's blog says that although only a very small percentage of Twitter users were potentially affected by the attack, everyone should be "following good password hygiene, on Twitter and elsewhere on the Internet":

    Make sure you use a strong password – at least 10 (but more is better) characters and a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols – that you are not using for any other accounts or sites.
    Using the same password for multiple online accounts significantly increases your odds of being compromised.
    If you are not using good password hygiene, take a moment now to change your Twitter passwords. For more information about making your Twitter and other Internet accounts more secure, read our Help Center documentation or the FTC’s guide on passwords.
    We also echo the advisory from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and security experts to encourage users to disable Java on their computers. For instructions on how to disable Java, read this recent Slate article.

The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal recently announced that their systems had also been compromised by hackers. Both publications claimed that the hackers had targeted them for publishing investigative reports on Chinese officials.

Although Lord talks about the hacking that took place at the two publications in his blog post, he does not connect it directly to the Twitter incident.
