- 05/13/09 08:54 PM
Dont let anyone fool you - real estate video is advertising. As such, success in advertising is measured by a set of fairly concrete metrics - namely some combination of views, leads, and sales. This post is an overview of the factors that contribute to those advertising metrics.

real estate videos: Real Estate Videos That Customers Don't Want To See
- 04/21/09 12:51 AM
If you had a customers looking for an important video of yours, how much content that they dont want to see would they have to look at? Somewhere along the line, aggregation of real estate video content has been confused with choice. This was figured out long ago by the listing sites. On a listing site or even your own website, your customer in the market for a 3BR house likely would not have to wade through 1BR condos as part of their search results...and vice versa. So, why do we make customers wade through a giant unorganized pool of video … (4 comments)
real estate videos: The Future Of Real Estate Video
- 03/27/09 11:06 AM
All of us often wonder what the future holds for various technologies. Those that morph and adapt can survive - the rest will fall by the wayside. Real estate video in particular has unique needs that aren't being realized and forms the future of this niche medium. Real Estate Video Needs To Expand Outside Of The Flash Video Player Think about how you are receiving information today from a real estate video. The message is only contained in the video itself. If a site visitor chooses not to watch the video, you gain zero value from the player itself. The future … (67 comments)
real estate videos: We Listened When You Told Us That Time Is Money
- 05/28/08 08:25 AM
The speed of geolocating members and properties has been a source of complaints for some amount of time. Based on feedback from our customers, we've made major speed improvements on the interface where you can geolocate your member profile or your video content at over 80 countries over at http://catalog.vidlisting.com.

real estate videos: Use Your Own Video To Attract International Buyers At Under $1 Per Video Minute
- 03/03/08 10:42 PM
- Are you wanting to attract international buyers but dont know how? - Are you filming your own property video tours but struggling to provide professional narration? Think for a minute of you would your favorite real estate show if it only had music. Likely not. Narration is a key part of directing attention during a prospective buyer's video viewing experience. Part of the problem is that no one notices when narration is done well but everyone notices when it is poorly done. How can you improve the quality of the narration in a cost effective way and also use narration to attract foreign byers … (4 comments)
real estate videos: Video Views As A Measure Of Getting The Correct Content In Front Of Prospective Buyers
- 02/23/08 04:40 AM
Vidoe views can be a useful or empty metric depending on the aggregate quality of the views (who watches and how interested they are in actually buying that property). While some may assume a few dozen real estate video views per property tour to be the norm, we at Vidlisting never have thought so. In the latest article on our outside real estate video blog, we discuss the "secrets" of how to get and interpret real estate video views. It's a pretty simple premise that seems to elude many. We touch on the important elements - context, platform technology, and focus. Enjoy! Tony If you've … (0 comments)
real estate videos: The Nexus of Luxury Property And Real Estate Video Is Passion
- 02/17/08 07:30 AM
Luxury property evokes different images in people. Though perhaps different, the fact is that just the word "luxury" iteslf evokes images. I have to say that the majority of things that I love about real estate video also generally have some connection to higher end homes - the architecture, the lifestyle, the stories. In our latest real estate video blog post on our outside blog, we've captured some of factors that can bring luxury and quality real estate video together...feel free to join the conversation.

real estate videos: Two Things That Can Add Actual SEO Value To Your Posted Real Estate Videos
- 12/20/07 04:40 AM
1) Google Video Sitemaps EDITED TO ADD: A sitemap is a tool that Google uses to "map" information and direct its pagecrawlers throughout the site. It can be as simple as a set of links or as complicated as what you'll see if you click the below link. The complexity of the linked content is because Google wants to store the information specifically as information about a video. If you aren't really geeky, there is really no need to look at the specifics of the Google team's post. From the Google team's blog post: In our effort to help users search all the world's … (3 comments)
real estate videos: Why Real Estate Video Is Less Expensive Than You Think....
- 09/29/07 10:53 AM
I was recently at the South Florida REALTOR Profitability Conference and the Luncheon speaker asked an interesting question: "How many of the REALTORS here have run a newspaper ad that no one replied to?" I was genuinely surprised by the number of hands that went up. Now lets look at real estate video. I'm not talking the multitude of video sites that have sprung up that will get you dozens of video views...I'm referring to sites like http://vidlisting.com which have an actual strategy that nets hundreds of video views in the first two weeks and in the thousands of views … (6 comments)
