2012 is proving that viral videos can be so much more than clips of cats, cute babies, and people hurting themselves in hilarious ways.

But while many websites and companies try to manufacture viral videos to promote their business, nearly all fall short of their million-view expectations. It isn?t just a matter of luck: there?s a science behind social video marketing.

Below I take a look at the three biggest viral video sensations of 2012 (so far) and break down exactly how their view counts exploded.

Google?s 8-Bit Maps for NES

Has Google's Traditional April Fool's Joke Come a Day Early? While messing around with Google Maps I happened to come across a pop-up linking to a little video explaining 8-bit Google Maps. I applaud Google for its creativity and light-hearted nature. But I can't help but think of the (wo)man hours it must have taken to pull this off, and how those surely would have been better spent in the Places Help Forums, or on refinements to the clustering algorithm, where they would have a real-world, and not a fantasy-world, impact?

When linking out, make sure to take a ?grass roots? approach

Want a hot SEO tip? Start linking out to external sites more often, and when you do, make sure to utilize a “grass roots” approach. What do I mean by “grass roots”? Simply put, I mean that when you link out, you should make it a point to seek out sites that are not a [...]

How to Go Viral on YouTube: Profiles in Video Marketing

2012 is proving that viral videos can be so much more than clips of cats, cute babies, and people hurting themselves in hilarious ways.

But while many websites and companies try to manufacture viral videos to promote their business, nearly all fall short of their million-view expectations. It isn?t just a matter of luck: there?s a science behind social video marketing.

Below I take a look at the three biggest viral video sensations of 2012 (so far) and break down exactly how their view counts exploded.

Is Verizon a Data Supplier to Google Places?

Obviously, I've claimed my consulting business on most of the major search engines and data aggregators, and done my best to make sure that my NAP information (Name, Address, and Phone number, for those of you new to Local Search) is consistent everywhere. Sure there are a few minor variations of my official DBA (David Mihm Web Design / Local SEO) due to various aggregators' limitations on length of business title.

But, I recently came across a crazy bug on my Google Place Page! I couldn't believe it. My phone number had all of a sudden changed from 503-560-2755 to 971-400-6360. I had two questions--#1, of course, why had my phone number changed? #2--and more importantly--where did that number come from?

How To Sleep Deeper, Wake Up Earlier & Become Superhuman

“Mom? 5 more minutes” sound familiar? I love to sleep. In fact, I love to sleep so much I think this is the main reason I got out of the military and eventually started my own business. I am one of those people that set their alarms earlier just so I can hit snooze three or four times? at least I was. Is Snooze Slowly Killing You? Maybe “kill” is too strong of a word, or maybe it’s not. But let’s define killing you. Have you ever noticed when you hit snooze you wake up more tired, get less done, have a foul attitude towards life, and are generally just not at your peak performance? Have you noticed this effects your business, fitness, and most importantly your relationships? Or the fact that you get the recommended allowance of 7 to 9 hours recommended by just about everyone? but never feel [...]
