Balkhis - Vision For Success

I am moving from youtube to Revver

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I highly value your feedback and would like to know more about my readers. Follow me on Twitter

Alright everyone, I have decided to make a decision about which player I will be using on my website. So far I have been using default youtube’s player in all my past posts to post my videos, but I didn’t really liked it because of the ugly look of the player.

I have decided to move to Revver. Its not that I won’t keep my youtube channels updated. Ofcourse I will keep them updated for my youtube audience, but the player you will be seeing on my website would be Revver.

Revver is an ad sharing player, so they will pay you via paypal. Why I particularly like Revver is that it lets me brand the player. So now the player will say Balkhis rather than anything else. Player looks cool as it is very simple. Another good part is that the player comes in a script code which doesn’t make the site xhtml invalid whereas youtube used to make the site xhtml invalid. The only downside about this is that your video have to be approved so you can’t just post your video and put it live asap. It needs to be approved by their management. I can live with that.

Check out the new cool video in a new cool branded player:

And don’t forget to follow me at Revver

Does it decrease your traffic by not having the new videos on YouTube?

no it won’t because I will still upload my new videos to youtube for my youtube audience as I mentioned in my post, but before I used to post the youtube player on Balkhis, and now I will be posting the Revver player on the blog posts.

it still doesn’t let me brand my logo ? If I am unsatisfied with revver, then I will try vimeo :)

But atleast it’s better than youtube! I might try both revver and vimeo before I shift over from youtube

Yeah It is pretty cool. I actually was working with a client and they needed a player so I put this one as a default on their website, and then I said I should register as well. I registered and saw the cool features and switched.

The video looks fine, but honestly I don’t really notice a difference between it and YouTube.

[...] So far I have managed to fix all of my xhtml errors except for the youtube error which is because the embed tag doesn’t exist according to W3C hence why I moved to Revver. [...]

Yeah, I think Youtube doesnt really allow that since that spot usually says YOUTUBE on it. It makes it more personalized and professional as you stated.

I actually like Revver mainly because it looks sleek and allows for integration of Adsense ads to increase that ad revenue!

The Balkhis text on the Revver video player looks great. looks so professional!
