Promiscuous Posting = Video Spamming?

I use Tubemogul to upload videos all of the web. My friend Steve coined this term on our online video podcast as promiscuous posting. Pretty clever, eh?

So is this spam? Does Google consider this spam? And should you continue to do this? Should I? What’s the long and short term strategy for me and you? I talk about it in this video. I’m very interesting in your opinions and thoughts.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.

    Jim, the truth is – I like any sentence with the word promiscuous in it.

    The reason to post everywhere is that you really don't know what is going to light up and get you traffic, buzz, notice, fame, etc.

    The downside is that once you're known as someone who is willing to 'post around' (particularly after a few drinks) it's hard to go back to being faithful to your true love (your url) hence folks who can get you anywhere stop coming to your house.

    Ok, to many mixed analogies – but you get the point. Post everywhere, and folks expect you to be everywhere… be promiscuous at your own risk…

    Right, that was my old plan. I still think it works for now, but maybe not down the road. We shall see.

    Hi Jim!

    Good topic! Here's my humble opinion:

    (1) The most important ingredient for spammy content is crappy, non authentic content and duplications of it. I see some 99% lack of that crappy part in your videos (1% goes to the fact that there is always someone complaining;). No need to worry about that part.

    (2) Web2.0 lives from duplicate content! News sites around the globe publish duplicate content. Google itself IS duplicate content. …this is about content aggregation and making it accessible to different tribes.

    (3)…You might want to think harder about submitting each and every video to places like sclipo, howtovideos, … , and stupidvideos, … but most sites are pretty broad in terms of topics and possible target group. Just obey the terms of those sites and they will be more than happy to get good content from you.

    (4) Remember the non cross posting rule in the usenet/newsgroups. That basically was/is one system — a distributed system — but still one system. Those video sites are competing with each other. The situation is quite different today.

    P.S. I had to reload the page in order to get the blip player playing

    P.P.S. I guess you could check the stats and concentrate on those sites that work best for you.

    Hello everyone, I’m new here and I was wondering if anybody has used this Ivybot for trading?
    I saw it online after talking to a co-worker who trades stock. He says he’s already made money with it after only a month.

    If anyone who has used it could respond before I buy it, I’d appreciate it.

    Thanks,
