As I said: Youtube Real Estate Virtual Tours: The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Not only did I get into the top ten I got the number one spot out of 1.22 million web pages within 48 hours of posting my video. See the screenshot here

I know I am bragging but I felt so proud that I had to share it.

Why did they do it? Video is the new way of communicating. As technology develops we will not write and talk we will watch and listen. The following graph is proof that online video is the place to be (click to enlarge):

As I said; creating youtube real estate virtual tours are relatively simple and you can do it with cheap to free software using a few photos from the home and some royalty free music. As soon as you are done you need to ensure that the file size is small and the quality is great.

However, the real power of youtube real estate virtual tours is not the video but getting people in your target market to watch your real estate video. It’s rather how you use youtube and other video sites to ensure Google index your video for maximum exposure. (Indexing depends on your video file name, what and where you enter keywords in your video title and tags (as allowed by youtube)).

The important factor that when people search for your video they must find it. But they can only find it, when the search term they use match the search term indexed by Google. Does it make sense? Continue reading.

I have heard many people complaining that they cannot find what they search for on youtube and other video sites. Well, searching on youtube is not the real thing because very few of your potential clients will search on youtube for properties. This will improve in time, currently people use Google for searches and Google will index your videos. If you do it correctly it will show on the first search page.

All you need to do is determine what your potential client is searching for. Therefore you need to brainstorm a list of terms they may use. You can also use online facilities to show you possible search terms. You then need to name your youtube real estate virtual tour file accordingly. Also use it in the video title, the description and tags.

Let’s look at an example:

Two months ago I produced a youtube real estate virtual tour for the search term “home for sale in simon’s town”. After 24 hours the video was index by Google and it ranked number five out of 1.9 million web pages. See the youtube real estate virtual tour success I had with this video on Google. Today it’s in the tenth position. (Although the home was sold I leave it on because it will bring more traffic to the SimonTownRealty.Info blog. When it sells, change the title on youtube to include SOLD).

This is no mean feat.

And it can be replicated for your real estate virtual tours. All you need to do is create real estate videos for as many different search terms as possible. The second trick, if you don’t have many virtual tours, is to upload one video to different video sites and here you may want to change the file name to include different keywords for each video site.

The top ten video sites of real estate virtual tours are:

• YouTube
• Google Video
• vids.myspace.com
• Yahoo! Video
• MSN Video
• AOL Video
