Alexa.com recently wrote an interesting article about negative SEO (search engine optimization). In short, negative SEO is when, presumably, a competitor or just a malicious person, uses black hat SEO tactics to hurt your website. The 4 primary tactics are:

Check out the power of a well optimized Youtube channel. Last night we (Serr.biz in association with GalileoTechMedia.com) made a quick sample video for a real estate agent in South Carolina. If you watch the video you'll see it was a simple montage with a voice over, music and is only 48 seconds long. Given that local real estate agents have to compete with monsters such as Realtor.com, Trulia.com, Zillow and others, we opted to target a geo specific, long tail phrase and titled the video "4 bedroom Johns Island SC". As you can see from the screen shot, in 10 hours, the video, because of it's content and our optimized Youtube channel and related social branded network, rose to number two in the YouTube search results page when we searched the exact phrase. Given that the Serr.biz network never referenced South Carolina before, does not have any citations anywhere related to South Carolina, nor does our live site reference South Carolina (before this article) we are pleased with the super fast results. The point is, if you commit to optimizing your YouTube channel, your Youtube videos, even if they are off topic can quickly rise in the search results, at least in Youtube.

For awhile now SEO's have known the importance of https (SSL) for SEO, but it has not been entirely embraced. Back in August, Google started sending webmasters via the Search Console, direct messages such as the following:

"Starting October 2017, Chrome (version 62) will show a “NOT SECURE” warning when users enter text in a form on an HTTP page, and for all HTTP pages in Incognito mode.

The following URLs on your site include text input fields (such as < input type="text" > or < input type="email" >) that will trigger the new Chrome warning. Review these examples to see where these warnings will appear, so that you can take action to help protect users’ data. This list is not exhaustive.

(FireFox browser also does this.)

In this video we show a live screen capture of a local Youtube seo marketing video we made for our client CBOstyle.com. In about an hour, the video we made hit the top 10 of Google search results in both the organic search as well as the video. As usual, there will be some fluctuation of the video, but given the relatively little competition for the specific phrase, it will likely settle into the top ten permanently. Of course, it also helps that the client continues to produce relevant geo local videos.
