Jason Calacanis Keynote Affiliate Summit

I just watched a super long video. That very rarely happens. But this one I got pulled into and couldn’t click away.

It is Jason Calacanis’ Keynote speech from Affiliate Summit. He’s talking about gaming search engines, SEO is bullshit, and how “curation” is the salvation of the internet. (His search engine, Mahalo, uses real people to rank sites rather than algorithms.)

Learn how Pay Per Post is the devil. Why Jason actually wants you to spam social networks and the engines. Learn how holding up a 6 figure check is pathetic and desperate. (Loved that one!)

The video is long so if you want the bits that I thought were best…

Jason starts at 7:32 (Recommend you go from here all the way through. The entertainment value is awesome. Strong language warning. )

Minutes 29-45 are great if you MUST skip ahead.

Video Posting Software Sneek Peek!

I am playing with a beta version of a new piece of software we are going to be releasing soon. Remember Utility Poster? Well, not to sit on our past success, we immediately got to work on other things that bloggers could post to their sites with such a tool and created “Video Utility Poster.”

Don’t go looking for the URL. You can’t have this puppy just yet!

The first thing I always do with search software of any kind is a vanity search on my own name. I found some videos people had done on YouTube that I hadn’t seen before. (Video Utility Poster will also search Truveo but I haven’t gotten that far yet.)

As you check these out, remember how long it takes you to go search, grab embed code, paste it, and then go BACK if you want more than one video from your search and do it all over again.

I just searched, previewed each video on my desktop, and dragged and dropped the ones I wanted below and hit “Publish.”

Jealous? You’ll have your chance to grab this software very soon. If you already have Utility Poster, you’ll even get a break on the price!

You know you’re kind of a big deal when…

…people post videos all over the web about you.

Here’s a video I found on Revver from Dave Nielson about Friday Traffic Report and Social Power Linking. Thanks Dave for taking the time!

I had to re-post this one. Raimi rocks even if he hates the Authority Black Book.

And finally, the creepier ones like below. I don’t know who did this. It’s not my voice. It links straight to the proper URL. It’s my words from something I wrote, I guess. Sounds familiar anyway. I’m locking the door tonight.

TrackBoost: 5 Minutes to Killer Backlinks!

Be honest. How much time did you spend last week getting relevant, keyword-laden backlinks from other bloggers in your niche?

10 minutes? An hour? None at all? Watch this video on a new piece of software that will change the game so you can finally take advantage of the kind of link building you SHOULD be doing without spending more time on your blog. In fact, you’ll spend less!

Trackbacks are a pain to remember each time you do a post. Yet there are likely a lot of people talking about the same topic you just posted about out in the blogosphere. People who are more than willing to to link back to YOU talking about THEM.

And not only that, but they will gladly link back to you using your post title as the link. Think SEO. Think keyword anchor text links.

Then think…Trackboost.

Everyone is in a hurry once they’ve finished a post. No one wants to get done with a post and then have to go out and search the Sphere for relevant further information and posts that their readers would appreciate.

Everyone knows the value of a good link. People spend a TON of time trying to get them. Yet bloggers rarely spend enough time on trackbacks, some of the best linkage you can get for direct traffic and SEO. This is because it extends the amount of time you have to work on each post doing the research, grabbing trackback links, and setting the links to the posts you recommend in the post you just made.

The entire mess has been corrected. Watch this video and you’ll see. Bloggers are gaining a new best friend this week.

Trackboost comes out this week. Watch this spot for the release and then grab it and get all your posts linked up with no sweat!
