    I do enjoy infographics and still believe there is uncharted territory there to be conquered. When done right they are really compelling and useful, even if they won't bring so much value to SEO as backlinks and other methods.

    This company tho, Bizwyse.com, I wouldn't really trust or use. There was a recent discussion in the WHT forums (I can share a link if needed) with some background stories about the shady practices of the owner of Bizwyse. Seems they are the former LambHost, a hosting company which were most known for disappearing suddenly on their clients and going into the dark when they still had unpaid bills to their datacenter. A lot of paying clients were left without their website project and after some time surprise-surprise the owner comes back with a new company, Bizwyse, ready to gain the trust of other unsuspecting folks and most probably scamming them out of their money again. Thanks, but no thanks ;)

    Thanks a lot for the compliment. Although we really like it visually, it has some serious coding flaws so we are in the process of a complete redesign. After a couple of months, maybe, it would be even more glamorous :D

    It seems like the web is awash in infographics these days. Maybe try your hand at a few different types of content and see what clicks.

    Less likely to be the "next level" when they already exist :)

    Putting informational statistics in a video is something many are doing for some time now and with the rise of kinetic typography I can see such videos becoming more and more essential in advertising campaigns. ;)

    We use infographic marketing all the time. I'm glad that this form of media has advanced the way it has, and we can packed a lot of useful info on the designs created for us to send out to massive groups of people.

    Don't get me wrong infographics can be great and there are a lot of good ones, but its seems I've seen a TON of them lately. Also, designers are being told to cram as much information as possible into some of these things. It can be stimulation overload after 2 or 3 infographics in the same day.

    Having been a sales/marketing executive for a looong time, I find this discussion about infographics quite amusing. One of the pioneers of infographics was the U.S. national newspaper, USA Today, in which they always put an infographic on their front page. They started doing this sometime in the 1990's, so this medium has been around for at least 20 years. While the form/style of an infographic is important, of course, it is the actual data/information that really matters. An infographic about a topic that I am not interested in or that uses well-known or sketchy data will be as uninteresting to me as a text paragraph of useless information, no matter how pretty it looks.

    Putting up an infographic for the sake of having an infographic is silly and a waste of time. On the other hand, if you have some compelling new data or information and it is conducive to an infographic format and you have the skills to create a compelling one, by all means do so. Otherwise, spend your time on something that will enhance your business' value to your customers. A pig with lipstick is still a pig.

    Making infographics is one thing, getting people to see them is another.
