Looking for Motorbike Accidents in Google?

I found something interesting in Google this morning while I was planning a PPC campaign for one of our clients. I was doing some work for Recover-Compensation, a group of solicitors who specialise in a wide range of accident claims including road accident compensation, head injury compensation, whiplash settlements and accidents at work.



I did a search in Google.co.uk for “motorbike accident” and in the top 15 results there were 6 results for videos. This wasn’t the real interesting thing - it was where these videos had come from. The videos were from quite a wide range of different sites:

Metacafe
Google Video
Sumo.TV
Broadcaster

I’m not sure why people feel the need to upload and share things like motorbike crashes, but it looks like there are plenty of these videos out there!

In the past whenever we have had video footage for any of our clients we have mainly concentrated on uploading the video to YouTube and not really experimented with many of the other sites.

After a some research on the internet I have found a list of alternative video sharing sites that everyone could consider using:

Google Video
BrightCove
PhotoBucket
YouTube
DailyMotion
iFilm
Myspace
Vimeo
BuzzNet
Flixya
GoFish
Kwego
Lulu
MyHeavy
PutFile
StupidVideos
Vmix
ZippyVideos
CastPost
Dotv
Famster
MeraVideo
Porkolt
VideoWebTown
Vidmax

If Google and other search engines are starting to place more emphasis on video then working through this list and utilising other video sharing sites will no doubt have a positive effect on improving your online profile and generating traffic to your sites.
