Interesting Video Search Results

Recently we produced a video for Sea Island Resort in Georgia. This short feature aired inside our television series Inside GOLF Magazine on FSN and Comcast Sports Network to over 90 million households. However, when we posted the video online we saw very interesting results. As many people know Google is the leading online search engine and more sophisticated search is capable using the tabs on the Google window to locate video, images, etc. What a lot of people don't know is that You Tube has now overtaken Yahoo as the second leading search engine. According to comScore, YouTube surpassed Yahoo as the world’s second largest search engine when it received 2.6 billion searches during August 2008.

What we found is that by producing a good video about Sea Island and distributing it correctly with our specialized techniques, we were able to very quickly lead search results on Google, the Google Video Tab and You Tube for many keywords surrounding Sea Island. Here were the results about one week after we published the video:
