Believe it or not a youtube vidoe entitled "Charlie bit me" got more than 6 million views worldwide. It has inspired several spoofs featuring not so cute adults mimicking the innocent, unrehearsed acts of two children.

The video has been added about 9 months ago, the exact date is May 22, 2007. To date, it has received a total of 7,764 comments and has been "favorited "43,030 times.

As of today, it has been mentioned in 106,000 website. Since google search for the video has reached a certain amount of volume, statistics for the search of the keyword "charlie bit me" has started to show in google trends. (Take note that Google trends only shows graphs when searches for a popular keyword reaches a certain volume)

The phrase "Charlie bit me" itself has been exploited by several webmasters and several venture capitalist to get more traffic into their website or blogs. The mother of the boys commented that "I have noticed that the phrase Charlie bit me is catching on and people are trying to profit of it . . ."

The parents is starting to realize that there is income to be made through utilizing the high volume of traffic that the popular youtube video and the popular keyword "Charlie bit me" has brought. In order not to be left behind by other venture capitalist, the parents are making available to the public the "Charlie bit me" t-shirt series.

The parents did the right thing considering that the video features their kids and they were the ones who uploaded the video. It should be them that should be the first to benefit from the popularity and the high volume of traffic that the video has brought.

Certainly the video is so cute and the British accent adds to its attraction. (Several "Charlie bit me" spoofs are not so cute at all; in fact I would say that they are lame)

So what could we learn from the "Charlie bit me phenomenon" or the "Charlie bit me craze" ? There is only one lesson that comes into mind and that is CONTENT IS STILL KING. It's still "The content stupid" no matter what the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts say. Without a doubt a lot of "Charlie bit me" fans got to know the video because somebody told them about it and not because they googled for "funny videos." It is concievable that the parents of these kid did not do any advertisement, tried to increase their back links, released several press releases, bought some articles are bought text link or google ads to increase their traffic. The primary reason why the "Charlie bit me" video has brought about a high number of traffic is because people love the content so much that they go crazy over it because it is so funny and so cute. This is not not to say that SEO strategies and techniques are not important to internet marketing. If content is King SEO strategies and techniques are only "queens." The point I am driving is that it is important to realize that the richness of the content is the one that drives sustainable high traffic to our websites and blogs.

Oh by the way, if you really like the video I really recommend that you buy the shirt.
