Take a look at this chart to see the explosive growth of YouTube and Facebook over time. Yahoo and MSN are loosing major ground with a massive exodus from Myspace.
For business owners the take away is that you should setup a Facebook Fan Page immediately and start to build out your social media network.
Next, invest in the production of short format web video clips at the rate of one per week or at least two per month to use as content to feed your Facebook social network. Online videos have a force-multiplier and added ROI when used your website, blog, mobile site and universal search engine optimization campaigns.
Here is a quick overview for customer acquisition using universal search engine optimization.

Here is a visual for this search. Note that search engine results pages are dynamic and change in real-time.
The main point here is to show you how to leverage local search, website/blog, internet video and posting to directories to create multiple customer touch points as they surf the search results page. What I find is that people build a mental picture and “trust level” for your brand if you show up across universal search results. Videos are a superb way to “close the deal”…
