Find videos uploaded from any location with the YouTube Data API v3

When news breaks, it's critical to have immediate, unfiltered access to information about the unfolding developments. During events like the Ukrainian protests and the Arab Spring, people are uploading firsthand, breaking news stories to YouTube. The YouTube Data API (v3) makes it easier to find those videos by supporting the ability to search for videos within a given radius of specified latitude/longitude coordinates. By using this feature in conjunction with the specific Freebase topic filter and upload date with time, you can discover up-to-the-minute breaking news material from people witnessing important world events.

To see an example, check out this web app that uses the new YouTube location search feature and Google Maps APIs. The app is used by news agencies to find legitimate footage and allows them to filter videos based on location, keywords, and upload time.

To search for geotagged videos, set the latitude and longitude to specify the center of a circular geographic area to be searched and the location radius to define the size of the circle. The radius can be in meters, kilometers or miles with a max size of 1000 KM.

Don’t have the latitude and longitude? Not a problem. The Google Maps API can geo-code search terms(e.g., “Boston”) and return the appropriate geographic coordinates. The Google Maps API also lets you create interactive maps to plot the results of the search. For your convenience, we’re publishing the codeas open source for all to use.

I didn't believe when I heard from a local blog “SEO has been dead” but the fact is, SEO is still alive and its landscape has been changed. New SEO Marketing trends are adding regularly. Hummingbird, Panda 5.0, Penguin 3.0, Google Authorship, Page Rank Algorithm etc updates have been launched by Google in this year that’s why SEO has been changed holistically. So I think using some new SEO experiments and trends we can fulfill our business gaps. Some time ago, SEO was only link building process on forum, bookmarking, directory, blog, article & press release sites. Now we should have to improve our marketing strategy. Social media, blogging (content marketing) and link building are the most powerful buzzwords in this era.

Link Building Necessary for Ranking:

I hate link building but they still works a lot and it is very powerful technique to get higher ranking on Google. It is also helpful for making a brand. You can hire a good SEO company for link building because it is really sensitive work, expert’s help will be required for link building causing Google penguin algorithm. Many complications are there in this technique like link building on quality and popular sites, don’t use penalized and banned site for link building, use proper keyword on link, use proper content when you build a link, keep it away from duplicate content, maintain nofollow – dofollow links ratio etc.

Conclusion - I hope you have understood that what exactly the changes are required in SEO and what trends should be used in 2015. SEO is not just a link building technique, it’s a combination of content marketing + Link Building + social media marketing + branding. We should use all platforms and resources to improve business popularity. Some topics like keyword density, title optimization, image optimization, Meta tags, anchor tags, alt tags, site map, robots.txt file, 404 error page and other on page seo techniques are also necessary in SEO so prefer SEO friendly website when you start seo. Just be careful when you start link building. Google analytic and webmaster tool both are very helpful to see results.

5 Ways To Use Visual Content Marketing To Improve Customer Service

When it comes to attracting more customers, it’s essential to connect with them visually.

People process images faster than any other type of information. In fact, 90 percent of the information that enters the brain is visual and the human brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text.

To create a strong brand and attract more customers, businesses need to integrate more visuals into their social media strategy. If you’re wondering how you can use visuals to create a stronger customer experience, here are five tips on visual content marketing to get you started:

1. Create Video Product Tutorials

Video content is a great way to interact with customers online. By 2016, 55 percent of Internet traffic will be video.

To help your customers learn about your products, publish video tutorials to your company website or YouTube channel. This is an excellent way to teach your customers about your product and give them the opportunity to interact with your brand.

2. Launch Interactive Marketing Campaigns

People love sharing photos and videos online. In fact, Millennials are abandoning platforms such as Facebook and Twitter for platforms like Snapchat and Instagram in order to share more visual content.

To improve your customer experience, create an interactive marketing campaign that encourages customers to share their videos or photos with your brand. For example, if your business is hosting a launch event, encourage customers to post pictures online using your campaign’s hashtag.

This will increase customer engagement while building your brand at the same time.

3. Record And Publish Customer Interviews

Another unique way to use visual content to engage your customers is to record and publish customer interviews. This will help you build brand awareness and credibility for your business.

For example, schedule a Google Hangout with a customer and ask them to provide a testimonial for one of your products. Not only will you be able to receive a review of your business, but you will also give customers the opportunity to share their opinions.

4. Post Pictures And Videos Of Product Updates

Platforms such as Instagram and Vine are excellent for sharing photos and videos online. For instance,

Instagram has 75 million daily users and receives 15 times more engagement than Facebook

In addition, businesses can use Pinterest to share and curate visual content with their customers.

Give your customers the ultimate experience by giving them an inside look at your business and product through photos and videos. It’s also important to follow your customers’ posts and comment on the visual content they publish online. This willbuild engagement for your brand and boost customer loyalty.

When using Pinterest for customer service, create a board that includes photos and videos of new products and promotions. This is a great way to inform your followers about your products and keep everything in one place.

5. Answer Customer Questions

Another way to build engagement with your customers is to answer any of their questions regarding your products, services, or general questions.

Record your answers to customer questions in a video and post them to your website or company YouTube channel. By doing this, you’ll show your customers you’re listening to their needs and investing time in building a relationship with them.

Visual content is strongly influencing the way customers purchase products and make decisions online. By integrating more visual content into your social media strategy, you’ll be able to reach more customers and build stronger relationships.
