Have you changed? This is a great effort at political video marketing. I didn’t see it coming until it hit me. And, boy, did it hit me hard. But I have one beef.

Sally Anthony missed a great opportunity at not allowing viewers of her video to embed the video on their websites. She would get a lot more exposure, not to mention back links, for her video if other website owners and bloggers could use the video on their websites. I, for instance, would have embedded the video here on this blog if I’d had that ability. The benefit to Sally Anthony would have been greater exposure, links back to her website from my blog and others, and increased traffic to her site.

She’ll still get some traffic from the link above, but not as much as she’d get if my viewers could see the video on my site. It’s a lesson to learn for all would be video marketers, political or not.

As a long time fan of Sally Anthony, the video was embedded up until yesterday when it was taken down because Youtube kept crashing. Link to the youtube video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47jXfaPCfso - Sally rocks.

Thanks, John. The embed is back up now. I always think it’s a good idea to allow people to embed a video on their own blog.

Getting people to embed your video is not easy, but when they do, you should be very, very happy.
