Have you ever wished that you had more money?  Have you ever wanted a per­sonal chef to make you healthy, tasty meals? Do you wish you could lose weight with­out putting in a lot of effort?  Well this solu­tion has noth­ing to do with any of that.

The YouTube Viral Video Alert Sys­tem is insur­ance for your company’s image.

What is the YouTube Alert System?

The YouTube Alert sys­tem will send an email or text to a list of peo­ple when a video starts to become viral on YouTube.

How it works

We have a sys­tem that searches for videos with your com­pany or key prod­uct in the video infor­ma­tion.  Based on the search results, if any video exceeds a pre-defined thresh­old, an alert is sent to the dis­tri­b­u­tion list. For exam­ple, a car rental com­pany would setup an alert sys­tem that will mon­i­tor for phrases such as “rental cars” and their com­pany name.  Then we set a thresh­old of 25,000 views in the sys­tem.  Based on a thresh­old of 25,000 video views, we check every day to see if there are any new videos that exceed our thresh­old.  If we find one, we send a high alert email, inform­ing of the poten­tial busi­ness oppor­tu­nity or PR disaster.

Addi­tional Reporting

If you are inter­ested, we can build reports in Site­Cat­a­lyst that will trend the video views over time giv­ing you a per­spec­tive on how the top videos are trending.

    I was won­der­ing why the youtube viral video alert sys­tem would be called an insur­ance for a company’s rep­u­ta­tion. Then I real­ized that it was a good way to see what oth­ers were say­ing about you on youtube. Many peo­ple now are able to post videos that pro­mote or crit­i­cize a brand, and brand con­scious com­pa­nies should do their best to track what oth­ers are say­ing. From there, they can either take the video down or post a reply video in response.
