Getting Your Video on Page One Yet?
Having invested my research skills and plenty of time reading, I’ve realized that there isn’t alot of hard information on SEO for video except that there are three ways to use it:
- Directly on your website – you create a flash file, player, everything and host it on your website. Then you need the right plugins, sitemap elements and thumbnail image constructed properly after which you invite Google and other search engines to have a look. The search engine looks at your content and decides whether to index it. A lot of work for a chance at an index that lands on page 12.
- Embedded on your website – entertains the troops but no-one else will generally know about it unless you use all the traditional methods you would to get traffic to any other page.
- Directly on the Video site- now there’s the challenge. You have to compete with everyone else but many do little search optimization either onsite or offsite for a video they post on YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
The result for video SEO is really rewarding when it works. Your video is often the only link on a search page with its own thumbnail image and the promise of something to look at- not just to read.
