Visualization is very important… if not as important as SEO as a whole

Rand over at SEOMoz posted his weekly Whiteboard Friday video. This week… Visualization. Rand makes some great points about how visualization shouldn’t be forgotten when one is building their site and optimizing it. Often times the visuals are what make people come back and drive traffic to your site. Rand also talks about visualization in other online mediums like video. I have to admit I’m guilt of doing what he says might not be the wisest… I sit and talk to the camera. Though, this is a technique that I’ve found is useful for getting my point across, I think I may mix things up a bit with some visuals in the next video.

Check out the video here:

What do you think of the power of visualization? Is it always needed? Post your thoughts in the comments.

Whiteboard Fridays are always great with SEOmoz. The best line from this video is: "There's this whole, sort of visual porn around products. And that product porn is really big in the online world, for just about anything." Really...? Hmmm...what was Rand doing before he shot this video?

Anyway, I wouldn't feel too bad about talking to the camera. One of the things I've heard for video is to skip the flashy intro. It took 22 seconds to get into this video, and with people's short attention spans, that might not cut it. So SEOmoz is guilty of breaking a few rules too.

I feel Imagination and crative visualization are the tools of success. Visual learning is always fun, simple and actionable.
