A colleague and I were just discussing integrating more video related products and services in to our offerings and we were kicking around ideas about how to do that. This further enforces his thoughts that this is an area worth investing in. From an SEM perspective the challenge is convincing clients that video can drive new business and traffic in interesting and unexpected ways like this.

I noticed that images provide better ctr on ads,too. But I don’t add it for the sake of it.

But I’d add that it is important to keep the image relevant to the subject matter. It’s obviosuly not an issue in the example Michael provides, but I’ve seen plenty of bloggers insert random images that have no context to the article. I do not advocate inserting an image purely for the sake of it.

After adding images (with titles, tags, etc.) to every post, traffic has shot up. After all, there’s no doubt that a reader’s experience is better with an image.

I agree, and I’ve worked to find some sort of image to hopefully include in every post. I hadn’t mentioned it, but the site gets a good amount of traffic for image search, so there is that bonus as well.

As well as the benefits you already state, I think that images also act as a sort of magnetic force in a blogpost, in the same way that headings or bolded text (used correctly and sparingly) do. They pull the reader’s eyes down to the next block of content, breaking up what sometimes can look to be one big daunting mountain of text.
Congrats on the achievement 🙂
