The Day the Double Rainbow Died
Posted by phil in 
If you have to work in an office during those beautiful summer months and you stare out the window at the sunshine you are not enjoying, viral videos have likely become one of the only sources of joy in your day.
Likely the hottest (see what I did there) video this past season was Double Rainbow, posted by HungryBear9562. If you haven’t seen it, I very much recommend you check it out. Even though it was posted in January 2010, it rapidly gained popularity this past July and spawned countless parodies and auto tune remixes. Paul Vasquez, the man behind the camera in the video, is the type of guy who would probably never gain fame in other way. With this clip however, he instantly became a YouTube celebrity, and Double Rainbow became entrenched in the Internet Pop Culture Lexicon forever. The guy seemed a little crazy in the video, and the fact that he was able to leave a smile on so many people’s faces gave you a bit of a warm feeling your tummy. A success story if you will.
Until now.
Vasquez has apparently sold out, and is now featured in the latest Windows Live Photo Gallery add. Bad HungryBear9562, very very bad HungryBear9562. The magic of YouTube stars is that the lot of them never really sell out, other than mass manufacturing t-shirts of their meme, appearing in a Weezer video, or going on Television to discuss their fame.
Alas, you can decide for yourself. Do you think this is selling out?
SEO Tip #1: Keywords
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a relatively new component of any business trying to make it big online. Follow our online tips to help your business thrive in the ever expanding online market.
Without Keywords, the likelyhood of people finding your blog or website is very low. However, going overboard on Keywords is a big mistake a lot of start ups or first time bloggers will make at first.Before you do anything, you will need to understand the keywords that pertain to your business/website. The Google AdWords Keyword Tool is currently the best way to figure this out. It allows you to check out what key words are being searched the most and what sites attract which words. You can also sort it by Country and Language. Play around with it to find out what exactly you are up against, and what keywords will lead people to your business.
When filling your site blog posts, don’t write with keywords in mind. Forget them all together. Simply write the post, make sure its clean, neat, and that your message is getting across. Content is the most important part of any website and it must be high quality tangible stuff to keep people coming back. Thinking about keywords in your post before, during, or after the post might muck up your sentence structure and make you look like a poor writer. That is the last thing you want. Rather, save the keywords for your post titles, product descriptions, mission statements, etc (the parts of your website that won’t change).
