No Matter What You Say,content Is Still King

By: Zigfred Diaz

Believe it or not a youtube vidoe entitled "Charlie bit me" got more than 6 million views worldwide. It has inspired several spoofs featuring not so cute adults mimicking the innocent, unrehearsed acts of two children.

The video has been added about nine months ago. (the exact date is May 22, 2007) As of today, comments on the video has already reach 7,764. The video has been marked as "Favorite" 43,030 times.

Around 106,000 website has wrote about or featured the video. So popular is the video that in fact, search for it has reached a high amount of volume. As a result, statistics for it is made available at google trends. (Note that Google trends shows searches only when it has become so popular)

So popular is the video that the phrase "Charlie bit me" itself has been used by several webmasters and several venture capitalist to make money out of. In fact the mother of the boys commented, "I have noticed that the phrase Charlie bit me is catching on and people are trying to profit of it . . ."

Not to get left behind by bloggers and other business minded person the parents has started to realize the income opportunity that can be made off the popular phrase and the high volume of traffic that the popular youtube video has brought. The parents are making available to the public a "Charlie bit me" t-shirt series.

The parents did the right thing considering that the video features their kids and they were the ones who uploaded the video. It should be them that should be the first to benefit from the popularity and the high volume of traffic that the video has brought.

The video is certainly cute and the British accent adds to its appeal. (Most spoof videos of "Charlie bit me" are not cute at all; in fact I would go to the extent of calling some of them dumb)

So what could we learn from the "Charlie bit me phenomenon" or the "Charlie bit me craze" ? There is only one lesson that comes into mind and that is CONTENT IS STILL KING. It's still "The content stupid" no matter what the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts say. Without a doubt a lot of "Charlie bit me" fans got to know the video because somebody told them about it and not because they googled for "funny videos." It is concievable that the parents of these kid did not do any advertisement, tried to increase their back links, released several press releases, bought some articles are bought text link or google ads to increase their traffic. The primary reason why the "Charlie bit me" video has brought about a high number of traffic is because people love the content so much that they go crazy over it because it is so funny and so cute. This is not not to say that SEO strategies and techniques are not important to internet marketing. If content is King SEO strategies and techniques are only "queens." The point I am driving is that it is important to realize that the richness of the content is the one that drives sustainable high traffic to our websites and blogs.

Oh by the way, if you really like the video I really recommend that you buy the shirt.
