It’s been so busy around here this year, that I forgot to post this webinar from 5 months ago that I did with Steve Wiideman all about Google Places and local search. Enjoy. Steve knows his stuff as you can tell from the webinar so check him out if you haven’t heard of him before. He’s got a lot of great SEO information, not just local.

There were many more questions about using video on your website that I didn’t include in this video, since it was getting rather long.
Forgive the video quality I used a 12 year old video camera to record this (and had trouble getting the video off the camera onto the computer), but the audio is great since I use my trusty Sony MP3 audio recorder.
This is a prime example of the need to have a HD digital video camera with a hard drive and a good zoom in it for those longer than 20 minute video recordings.
Don’t let the technology stop you, just do something and get it out there. You can fine tune it as you go along.

If you are like me and have any blogs that have banners on them, then you will be interested in this review.
By far the easiest plugin that I’ve found to handle banner advertisting on Wordpress, has been Max Banner Ads by Max Blog Press.
What I like about it is that it’s all point and click. No need to muck around with the theme code.
I’ve been using it for the last 1 1/2 years on my niche blogs to display advertisting.
A couple of examples.
On one of my sites I have two sidebar widgets setup to handle larger block ads and the smaller 125×125 little blocks and I’m using the Max Banner Ads automation to put a 468×60 at the top of the first blog post. These formulate my Gold, Silver and Bronze advertising packages for private business. Yes direct advertisting pays better than adsense!
On another of my sites I have three 300×300 banner spots embedded around the theme, and I just copied and pasted the code that Max Banner Ads generated into the theme at the spots I needed. Once again direct business advertising is a winner over adsense.
It’s all managed by a simple admin interface.
The banners all rotate evenly within their groupings. So it’s fair time share between the spots.
Plus it has built in statistics so I can see how many views and my click through stats. Which of course then I pass along that info to my business advertisters.
They have two version a free version with a nag line “powered by Max Banner Ads” and a pro version.
They have made it simple to affiliate via Clickbank, so you can of course add in your clickbank ID to the nag line on the free version.
I must admit when I first registered for the free version they were moving servers or something like that and my registration wasn’t accepted for about 2 weeks. But after contacting support they sorted it out and I’ve been happy ever since.
They have a video and screen shots and more explaination on their website – Max Banner Ads.
If you are looking for a way to display multiple banners or even just one on your blog, try it out you’ll be happy you did.

As usual I only recommend what I use. Make sure you check out this awesome software. They have a free trial, so it’s a no brainer.
I think this is so important that I’m going to offer a limited time bonus.
LIMITED TIME BONUS UNTIL END of MAY 2010
As a marketing test, anyone that buys Replay Media Catcher via that link, can choose ONE of my software products and have that for FREE. Backup Smart $37, or Script Smart $67, or Affiliate Page Pro $97. Just submit your receipt to the support area, and I’ll hook you up. Strict time limit on the bonuses, at the end of MAY I’ll pull this.
Let me know what you think of being able to easily capture, save and download streaming video or media directly to your hard drive, by just leaving me a comment below.
