#1 Video in the World!
Google the word “video” and click on the first thing that comes up. (Looks like it has changed.. but for the past 3 days… I was #1! 
) For some reason, my Fifth Element video was the #1 video on all of Google’s Video Page.. which tracks ALL videos on the net!
I have no idea why the video is suddenly popular again, as I made the video over a year ago!

someone invested in your videos ?
google and youtube should put marina on the payroll for generating so much internet traffic!
Dear Marina!
I am so happy for you! That is one of my favorite words, if not the favorite word. Quintessential! Awesome!

That Fifth Element video got me thinking of polyhedrons, and what those shapes symbolize (I think it was determined by Plato):
tetrahedron – fire
hexahedron (cube) – earth
octahedron – air
isocahedron – water
and for the 5th: dodecahedron – universe
If you click Explore more videos » you see it
Maybe you were mistaken for Milla Jovovich.
What a nice way to introduce me to google video, Thank you Marina.
You’re definitely #1 Marina!!!

Well done Marina!! That is awesome news
I’m going to celebrate like This Guy
This is no surprise
I hope this takes off some of the pressure you’re feeling about how to compose the promo video. xelofalk noted that the video for The Day the Earth Stood Still also did well. Maybe the title for the promo video could be “Klaatu Barada Nikto” – LOL!
Many congratulations on your success
Well Marina, you deserve it. Has your present arrived yet?
In light of yesterday’s happenings I can understand it not staying number one.
That guy really expressed the world view very clearly.
Looking forward to the flushing sound in January of the Bush Administration being cleared way.

How are videos ranked in the Google Video search results?
Our intent is to represent the video content of the internet fairly and accurately. We don’t give special ranking preference to videos hosted by YouTube or Google Video, nor do we manipulate search results in any way. We believe strongly in allowing the democracy of the Web to determine the inclusion and ranking of videos in our search results.
After determining the content of the video using our spidering technology, Google then combines sophisticated text-matching techniques to find videos that are both important and relevant to your search. Our technology examines dozens of aspects of the video’s content (including number of hits and rating) to determine if it’s a good match for your query.
Please be assured that we’re continually working to improve our algorithms to provide the most relevant results for your query.
What is “Movers & Shakers”?
The “Movers & Shakers” list displays videos that have suddenly risen in popularity. It differs from the “Top 100″ in that it is not based on the number of page views a video receives, but the rate at which the page views are increasing day-to-day.
Videos appearing in “Movers & Shakers” and the “Top 100″ are selected automatically by our ranking algorithm. Please note that Google Video does not manually select which videos are displayed on these lists.
Excellent job, Marina. What’s there left for us to say, but…
Congrats for your belated discovery.

I really need to go back and review past lesson; I’m finding out I forgot a lot of good information.
OK I glad you said it changed because I could not get the same results.
I see The Day the Earth Stood Still as well. But HotforWords is still #1 on my list.
Google will show different users slightly different results based on if you are logged into your Google account, what your SafeSearch settings are and what your past browsing and search history is if you don’t tell Google not to track it. That could be the reason we all see something different.
is because is one of the best
I got the day the earth stood still.

Are you tweaking the Forum site? I can’t log in
I don’t know.. they track the popularity of videos from all the video websites.. and I am #1 for some reason.
It must be me. I can’t get enough of your videos
You should do a video blowing your own horn run around in a circle with you hands stuck up in the air giving the “I’m #1 sign” like the sports stars all do. Don’t take this comment wrong I am Happy for you.
Where do the views (5mil.+) on your “Antidisestablishmentarianism” video come from? Noticed that one & the “Fifth element” (1.7Mil.+) are still getting comments too.
I’ve always thought the “Quintessential” vid. best captured the essense of what you do… captivate & teach. As well it reveals your passion for getting the content right. Remove the T/N cheats (if you like) & it is such a good sample to link your promo to… calling up the spirit of Pythagoras
Clear your cookies and you should be able to log in.. let me know if you can’t
I didn’t want to clear my cookies I had my history all set up the way I liked.
So it is find now,… still don’t know how I got logged out.
I had the same problem logging into the Forum. I did a search only for all HFW cookies and deleted them. That fixed my problem. I’m like you, I hate deleting ALL cookies.
Tada
cool
