Augmenting your web site or blog with content feeds from external sources is an inexpensive and effortless way to enrich the content you offer your visitors. With careful selection of the external feed content, your visitors enjoy a well organized presentation of rich and relevant content, stay longer, and return often.

At PersonalTube, we believe that creating such a rich and seamless experience for your visitors requires that the subject matter of the feed content must accurately match the topics and concepts of your main content. Feeds covering typically broad topics like Travel, Sports, Technology News, etc., appear "discontinuous" and out of place from the tightly targeted focus and content of your web page, and fail to attract the interest of visitors.

This is why PersonalTube offers the world's largest selection of video topics to use for personalizing your PersonalTube feed widget content. We have over 300,000 topics, organized into a multi-level, common-sense hierarchy into which you can drill down easily and intuitively. Our topic hierarchy is wide enough and deep enough for you to find one or more topics that closely match the subject and concept of your web page or blog, giving you precise control over the videos that appear on your personalized video widget.

Personalizing your widget video content is easy. Using your password-protected PersonalTube dashboard, you can browse the topics, drill down or back up to the level that makes sense for you, and add the topics you like to your content search specification. You can also search for topics that match any keywords or concepts you enter. You can optionally augment your topics with desired boosting keywords. Videos with these keywords will be preferred over those that don't. You can also enter prohibited keywords - videos with these "stop" keywords will not be shown. We even allow you to specify user names at video hosting sites and search for videos uploaded by them. You can explore all these search criteria on your PersonalTube dashboard, review the resulting videos, and finally select the criteria that yields the most relevant videos for your web site or blog.

Our video search results are powered by our semantic analysis technology. Our massive scale video topic classifier analyzes each video our crawlers discover and classifies it into the correct topics in our collection and then the video is stored in our search index. When our video search engine receives a search query containing topics, user account ID, boosting keywords and prohibited keywords, it identifies the videos matching the topics or user account ID, filters videos matching the prohibited keywords, ranks the filtered videos to ensure freshness, boosts the ranking of videos containing the boosting keywords, and finally returns the top ranking videos.

If you save your personalized search criteria using our AutoRefresh feature, your live widget automatically connects to our real time feed server when your page is viewed by a visitor. In response, the feed server executes a video search based on your saved search criteria, extracts the top ranking videos, and displays their thumbnails directly on your widget. Alternately, if you save your criteria as AutoAlert + Approval, our video alert engine continuously searches among the videos our crawlers discover, extracts the top ranking new videos that best match your saved criteria and saves them to your approval queue before sending you an alert.
