When you put yourself out there, like we do on this blog, you cannot always control or predict what will happen with your web content. Two interesting things I stumbled upon today:
1. The article about New Year’s in Canada that I wrote last year is now the #5 result for the terms “Quebec New Years” on canfind.ca (the search engine for the Best of Canada online). It follows two travel agents and two event planners.
2. Remember the YouTube video of the proposal at the Delaware Shakespeare Festival? Here’s a snapshot from it:
Take a look at the area labeled “Views”. This video has now been viewed 1,604 times. I can not fathom who all is watching this, but I do know it’s possible, because for whatever reason, this video is now in wide distribution. The video was picked up by:
- grind.com,
- cienconstruccion.com,
- searchthetube.com,
- spone.com,
- hq-cars.com, and
- videolar.biz.
I’m not going to link to these sites, because I don’t want to promote them. I suspect few if any of them have legitimate deals with YouTube to repurpose content, and most likely they just rip off the feed of new videos and claim it as their own.
I can only account for about half the views…did I tell you I watched it every day for a few months? maybe your dad knows something about the rest.
