Adding Value To Existing Portal Content

Upload Property Tour Videos Directly Into Listings or Agent Videos Into Directories: No matter whether your content is uploaded by members, customers, or only by administrators, Vidlisting has easy implementations to upload video into your portal listings, member directories, or other pages.

Real Estate Video Is Quickly Uploaded Directly Into Any Property Listing On The Customer's Own Domain One compelling Corporate level feature is that the video is only available on the customer domain as part of the listing. There is no copy that is publically available via a channel or on the Vidlisting site. The upload form can be made accesible to all members of the agency or brokerage in a password protected portion of the customer's domain. At no point will your brokerage staff have to go to Vidlisting to upload real estate videos. The example also illustrates how the Vidlisting corporate level features also support a real world listing in multiple languages as part of the real estate video upload process.

Vidlisting listing upload implementations provide a seamless branding experience for your customers with an integrated design that matches your real estate listing portal's look/feel. We can incorporate property tours or other real estate video without the design killing inclusion of a flash video player branded for a different company. Best of all, you wont have to do any cutting or pasting of video embed codes to manage portal video content. You'll have 100% control over the look and feel of the video content and how videos are presented to your customers.

Our implementations are so fast, you wont realize that it is custom work. Most of our implementions have design work completed within days. The actual code implementation is a solution that can be normally be added within 30-60 minutes.

Know Where Your Portal Content or Members Are With Geolocation: Geolocation is basically knowing where people or content is in relation to other people or content. Some video upload sites use zip codes or town names to "geolocate" their people or content - this may tell you where something is but not necessarily what's around it.

At Vidlisting we've created a process of adding latitude and longitude data to your content or from members so that you can easily group people things that are geographically close without having to use an external online mapping application. As you add new listings or members, Vidlisting can provide lat/long information back to you in an automated process for use internally within your real estate listing portal or when interacting with other services that require such information.

Broaden your Audience With Translated Content: Real estate is local but buyers can come from many different places or represent local ethnic demographics. When portals begin thinking about translations, they often only think about translating their web interfaces and not the real estate content itself. To be fair, many companies can provide translations of online interfaces and/or content. However, Vidlisting also can not only help you translate your real estate content but also give you the tools needed deliver the right online content to the right prospective customer in a language comfortable to them.

Languages Currently Supported By Vidlisting: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian Requesting video translations or narrations for single property tours or other real estate videos is as easy as checking a few checkboxes as part of the standard video upload and conversion process at our real estate video upload site All Vidlisting translations are done by humans in order to maintain a high quality standard for written and narrative real estate oriented translations. Contact us for larger scale engagements, translated real estate video requests, comments or questions.

The content delivery approach is critical. For instance, there is no rule that real estate portals have to deliver real estate content in different languages with multiple flash video players. Listings portals can integrate their own unique look and feel into the presentation of translated real estate content. Vidlisting's international functionality can also identify when users search for content in a specific language and then seamlessly deliver that content. Since the delivery is the key part with our approach, real estate portals can even retain any existing translation capability. If your portal has no existing capability, Vidlisting can provide translations of your portal interface or content on a very cost effective volume basis for either one time projects or ongoing engagements.

Make Your Content Interactive: Bring real Web 2.0 capabilities to your content on a micro level by introducing conversations about specific content to your portal. Vidlisting has a wealth of interactive functionality that can turn prospective real estate buyers into leads.

Communications functionality is divided into social functionality that can be general in nature to drive site participation and "stickiness" or more tightly targeted communications functionality geared to a specific property listing, service, or content item designed to generate leads and enquiries.

Maintain Tight Control Of Your Own Video Content Through Self Hosting: Many portals already have the supporting development resources and server infrastructure to self host videos. Whether your portal is already self-hosting videos or you simply considering your options, Vidlisting has a number of options and functionality that can make video self hosting easier.

• Outsourcing Video Conversion Example: Scaling video conversion can be costly when your conversions are done manually. Vidlisting has functionality that takes your video to be converted from any accessible server, FTPs the content to the Vidlisting Conversion Cluster to be converted in any of 6 video conversion formats, and then FTPs the converted file back to any accessible server in the world.

Content Syndication And Discovery

Blast Your Branded Video Or Listing Content Out To Other Sites: There are sites on the internet that would love to have access to your content. Syndication using your branded content is one method to increase awareness and interest in your own site. Potential portal customers or members will be able to encounter your content, made aware of your portal branding, and be redirected back to your portal to 'consume' the content or listing that interests them.

Vidlisting has a configurable set of syndication partners for video content or we can work with you to build a custom syndication network of partners with whom you may already have pre-existing relationships. Implementation is fast - normally less than 30 minutes.

Supplement Your Content With A Library Of Local Information: Today's real estate customer wants all of the information about properties and the surrounding community that they can handle. Vidlisting has a contextual real estate content library filled with local market reports and other community information written by locals that are geo targeted (organized by lat/long) and constantly updated. We can deliver the content that you decide is appropriate alongside your portal content in a way that matches the look/feel of your website. Your visitors will then have a far better idea about the community and local economics without having to dig through past sales data and the like.

Make Searched For Content More Easily Found: When a visitor arrives to your portal by way of a search engine, its safe to assume that they want to find what they have searched for as quickly as possible. Vidlisting has developed functionality that 'front loads' or makes the desired content available without having to scroll or search. This potentially makes every portal page a dynamic custom landing page for search engine results. Search engines will love your portal as well as your visitors as a result.

Quickly Generate Dynamic RSS Feeds From Searches: When visitors search your portal, they'll likely make the same search in the future. Vidlisting can convert that search within your portal to a custom RSS feed that they then can use for future searches.

RSS search feeds are automatically created whenever visitors search for real estate content on your site. Quick, easy, and a great way to make your site hard to forget.

Reinforce Your Brand

Put Your Brand Out There With Custom Video and Content Widgets: Custom branded widgets are embeddable snippets of code that allow others to place videos or listings that interest them on their own websites or blogs. Branded widgets are custom designed for your portal and not just an inclusion of your logo on the flash video player; there is no Vidlisting branding included on the widgets at all.

Bring Visitors To Your Custom Portal Video Player Page: A custom video player page has the look and feel of your own portal. Videos processed using the Vidlisting system will just 'know' to appear on your player. You'll also retain 100% control over the content and optimization of videos that play on your custom video player page.

Build Custom Portal Functionality Like No One Else: Nothing can reinforce your brand like having exclusive functionality unavailable elsewhere. If you have an idea for custom online functionality and want to have it built quickly, Vidlisting has an entire platform and tools to support you.
