video killed the radio star

Published: Mon, 08/22/16

Okay, I admit it. MTV was one of my favorite channels when it first came out.

I remember the summer my family got cable. The first thing I watched was the Little League World Series on this channel called ESPN.

The second thing I watched was MTV.

OMG...

(Showing my age!)

I won't admit to watching the first-ever music video on MTV (it really was "Video Killed the Radio Star" at 12:01 AM on August 1, 1981), but I know for sure that I did watch it from *almost* day one. It was sometime in August 1981 when we got cable.

Before that, we had to walk ten miles to the TV in the snow, UPHILL BOTH WAYS, just to change channels, boys and girls. The "remote" was ME.

Video on TV was a long long time ago, but it just now seems to be kicking in on the internet. Sure, YouTube has been around a very long time, but now there's Facebook Live and Snapchat, too, with bunches of live streaming wannabes.

But YouTube is still the big dog (I'm betting on Facebook Live to take over some day).

And that's why this is important.

Since Google OWNS YouTube, you can bet your Madonna buttcheeks that YouTube videos rank higher now and always will than other competitors NOT OWNED by Google.

Give your YouTube videos the best chance of outranking your competitors by using TubeBuddy.

It's a Chrome extension that adds a bunch of optimizations to your YouTube videos.

And we all know two things about video SEO:
  1. It sucks. It's boring. But it's completely necessary.
  2. None of us do it. And even if we did, we'd suck at it.
Because nothing is there to prompt us to do it better, if at all.

TubeBuddy will help you. Believe me!

Until next time,

Bill
