Improve Your Google Ranking With This Easy Tip

December 16, 2009

High Google ranking is something that any business owners aspire (or should aspire) to have.

Here is a simple way to improve your Google ranking and increase your targeted website traffic.

We’ve known for a while now that Google uses speech to text conversion. That means that they take the SPOKEN text from your videos and convert it to written text.

While they didn’t comment on why they do it, the answer is obvious: this is yet another way for Google to determine whether your audio and video content is relevant. Using audio text conversion helps them categorize and rank your video.

So what does it mean to us in practical terms?

This gives you an opportunity to improve your website Google ranking and increase targeted website traffic by simply adding relevant keywords to your audios or videos. If you simply use background music for your written text, it obviously won’t work the same way.

So follow the same keyword rules like you would when when increasing your website traffic through writing articles or blog posts: use your main keywords in the beginning, the end and a few times throughout your video.

Don’t overdo it; remember – your main target audience is still your readers, not search engines!

Write your video/audio script just as if you were writing a web page that you wanted to improve Google ranking for, because with Google speech to text conversion, they are applying the same algorithms as if it were written text.

The more keyword-oriented your content will become, the better chance you will have to improve your Google ranking of your video and to end up on the first page of Google, which, by the way, is far easier to do with a video that an actual website or even a blog.

Happy Google ranking!

Your are right: you don’t have to comment or retweet, but would it help if I told you it would be much appreciated? :)

I actually didn’t realize that Google used this speech to text software, so thank you for sharing. This is an interesting and simple way to add more relevancy to your site that everyone should implement today.

Thanks for the great post Ana :) It’s been a while since I visited you blog so I’m going to try to get back more often!

Take Care,
