Forrester Research found that videos are 53x more likely than traditional web pages to receive an organic first-page ranking
For the first time, Canadians as a whole are spending more time online than watching television
Video is on the top 5 websites as listed on Alexa.com: Google, Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo, Live.com
March 2010 – Nearly 173 million U.S. Internet users watched online video during the month which was a record high .
Having video on your site helps conversion rates...even if they don’t watch the video.

Zappos uses video to sell their products and sees a 6-30% increase in sales on the products using video. They’ve even employed 10 fully working production studios to create all their videos.
Amazon uses video for many of their products and is adding new videos every day.

Cisco recently shared on the WSJ its predictions
Internet traffic will increase 5x over the next 5 years because of the amount of video being transferred
Over 90% of traffic will come from video (including tv, video on demand, and file sharing)
The amount of data flowing to mobile devices will double each year, with video being the fastest growing category

7 ways video can generate leads and dominate your competition. 1. The first way to get a video to generate leads and dominate your competition is.... to have a video. Having a video alone will set you apart from your competition Know who the audience and purpose is... Make it quality and high value content

Why add video to product pages?
Why add video to your site’s product pages? Because simply put, product videos sell products. While shoppers who actually view a product video are buying at a higher rate than those who choose not to watch the video, what has proven even more interesting is the fact that people who do NOT watch the video are converting at a significantly higher rate than shoppers viewing the same product page without the option for video viewing.
I believe that it has to do with consumer behavior and the trust factor. People feel more secure if they know you are able to show video on your site. 1) Because it means you trust your product enough to show it in full multi-dimensional format, and 2) Because it means you are an e-tailer that invests in your site, bringing your customers the best user experience possible. It makes your site seem more reliable which in turn increases consumer confidence.
In most cases and across all verticals, video is a proven and effective tool for increasing conversion rates. However poorly executed or shoddy video may have a detrimental effect on your site. This should come as no surprise as we’re all well aware of the damage that inadequate copy-writing or unimpressive photos can cause conversions. In short, video obeys the same fundamental rules governing the performance of all mediums – quality matters !
