ReelSEO Video Marketing: In Search of Online Video. The Case for Video SEO

  • Idan · 1 year ago
    I don't believe in Video SEO - Make a page with good text content and SEO oriented design and embed your video.
    Link that page from your homepage and everything will be fine.

    YuMe's own VP in the video interview (found in the vodpod sidebar widget) says their own research shows that a lot of video clicks come from choosing thumbnail images, which are heavily populated in the the video sharing sites – YouTube, Revver, Metacafe, BlipTV, etc. Unless you're a hardcore vSEO expert with lots of time to experiment, you're not going to get that thumbnail feature just by having it on your own website. Making the video available on popular relevant video sharing site, along with populating them with metadata and viral strategies, is part of the vSEO program.

    Idan, its OK if you don't believe in Video SEO. Video SEO still believes in you. ;)

    There's a lot you can do to optimize your video on YouTube, and a lot of it echoes SEO techniques. Title and Thumbnail are most important. Thumbnail even more so than the title. Knowing that YouTube grabs the center most frame, this technique has been and continues to be abused, but when used properly, it can mean the difference of a few hundred thousand views.

    Tags (keywords) are equally important so your video places correctly in YouTube's search, along with the Related Video feature, which I receive thousands of views from each week.

    There's more, but I think you get the point. =)
