Simplified video-making software has turned things around, making this process a lot easier than before. But here’s a disturbing fact: Research has shown that the majority of readers respond more to videos than they do to still text and images. And this means that the video you embed on your blog for the world out there to see matters a lot more than the content and images on your blog.

Around the same time, a fledgling online company called Google was starting to find it’s footing and take control of the search engine market. As more and more users regularly used the internet, they began to depend on search engines to help them find answers to their questions.
This is why today we so often “Google it” when we have a problem that we are trying to solve. Those searches usually bring us to just the right blog post that was designed to appeal to someone like us.
