Hello - 

After reading through some Search Engine Optimization tools, I assembled a list of ten pieces of information that I thought were valuable.  Here they are:

1. Include live chat on your website – be accessible as possible for questions.
2. Nielsen reports that 65% of streamed videos are viewed during working hours – 9am – 5pm.  Yep, that’s right, people are taking advantage of their company’s high internet speed to catch up on videos.
3. The average duration of a video viewed online during the month of December 2008 was 3.2 minutes.
4. Regarding the importance of clean code and fast page loads – a half second delay in page loading time was reported to cause a 20% drop in traffic.
5. Autoplaying videos on your website is frowned upon.
6. Only include one video on each page.  More than one can decrease load time.
7. Images hold website viewers attention the most.
8. Videos still have a high perceived value.  Blogs are viewed as a place to get news.  Post videos on your blog and you combine two arenas with relatively high value perception.
9. The best way to use Twitter as a marketer is to constantly give value to your followers.
10. Google Analytics is still one of the best tools out there for analyzing website traffic.  And it is free!
