I would like to personally welcome everyone who has visited my blog for the first time due to Mashable featuring a few of my easter eggs on their Mashable Easter Egg Wrap-Up post.

If you are one of the 150,000 daily readers of Mashable, I want to personally introduce myself. My name is Collin LaHay and I am an 18 year old internet marketer who makes my entire income on the internet.  My blog is about teaching everyone how to better market their blogs/websites, how to build links to raise your search engine rankings, and how to effectively make money from your blogs/websites.  If that sounds like something you are interested in, I recommend subscribing to my RSS feed.

To all of my current readers, if you are wondering what I am talking about, Mashable recently requested easter eggs that mentioned their blog on them, and I took the opportunity to make a few of these with my websites branded on them.  I had originally submitted a few different eggs for different clients, but only the one that featured my blog was posted publicly to the 150,000 daily RSS readers. For those of you who are curious, here are the pictures:

Thanks for being creative and offering free publicity Mashable!

Everyone is familiar with search engine optimization (SEO), but I have just stumbled across some people who (accidentally) have optimized their videos to be heavily promoted. Have you ever considered making an advertisement/commercial video and submitting it to the video sites? Sure, everyone has. The problem is getting people to see it.

Well, have you considered registering a username for a typo of the site you are submitting to? Just looking at popular typos of youtube (such as youtub). — People’s videos have received literally MILLIONS of views. Imagine if instead of their stupid video it was a 5 second video advertisement… you would see a nice burst of traffic and sales!

For the visual learners, here are a few examples of accidental, video engine optimized pages.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.Channel&ChannelID=88331292
Info: Use to be #1 for Facebookk, has since moved to #3
Result: 2500 views in a week.

(NOT SAFE FOR WORK) http://www.dailymotion.com/daily-motio (NOT SAFE FOR WORK)
Info: #1 in google for “daily motio” a typo of dailymotion.com
Result: 119663 views, 95 fans, 1328 favorites

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghn4-uFOjnk
Info: #1 in google for youtuube
Result: Views - 10,000+

This is only a sample list of the many possibilities…

Here lies the real question… if these accidental videos can receive 5000 to 3,000,000 views… just imagine what making 10 of these videos and PURPOSEFULLY optimizing for these keywords could do. Think of any typo you can for your favorite video upload sites (youtube, revver, metacafe, dailymotion, etc), and create a username for it. Upload the video and call it the typo. You now have a powerful domain, related page, and related video that keyword and have a good chance at ranking #1 without even building any links.

Now, I do not have time to experiment with videos, but I thought I would give away a pretty ingenious way to build traffic for those that are interested. Who needs viral marketing humorous videos when you can appeal to the massive amounts of stupid people?
