I am starting Video marketing and have a fundamental question What is best for SEO purposes? Host the video on your server or 3rd party such as You Tube? One of the drawbacks of hosting the video on my server would need more management on my part in order to allocate space to stream the videos it order to make sure my site does not crash if I get a surge of people viewing the videos. Is it worth it? On the other hand, my website gets all the hits and makes me ranking go up? Please give me advise Thanks!
It is best to optimize your videos on your own server and syndicate on other vdieo websites like youtube. if dont want optimize your videos on your own server then youtube is the best place.
I agree with Asghar. When it comes to content it's always best to host it on your own, no matter if it's an article, video or anything else. That being said, every single video you make needs to be up on YouTube. It's the 2nd largest search engine on the planet right now, so learning to use it effectively is incredibly important. Small tips like putting your URL at the beginning of your description can help dramatically with click through rates.
hi, its good if you use some third party hosting for video at your site, like : s3 amazon video site map for search engines + social bookmarking for that video + uploading videos to some good video shearing site for more back link, + video seo good luck
I think hosting the videos on your server is the way to go. First of, you wont have the YouTube logo and annoying 'other videos' at the end issue. To your other question about the SEO benefits, Here is a stat you might have been unaware of: If YouTube was a stand alone search engine, it would be the second largest by search volume only next to Google. We offer video creation and marketing to our clients and lately more and more of them are coming up not only in the YouTube searches, but under regular Google queries. They also provide link from video directories and improve conversion ratios.
Hi pmaro, I think you should read this article. 7 tips to optimize your video for search engines We have many ways to get traffic such as: news sharing, social networks seeding, images sharing, video sharing... But, how to optimize to get the best? I'd like to share with you guys 7 interesting tips to optimize videos for search engines that I found it from the unknown source on the Internet: 1. As far as on-page factors are concerned, the video SEO is similar to webpage SEO. Title of your video is the most important aspect of on-page video SEO. If possible, it is best to have your main keyword as the early in your title as possible. 2. Description of your video should have the relevant keywords as well. If you are planning on hosting your video on third-party video platforms, write up your video description so that it has relevant keywords as well as a link to your website. 3. For third party platforms like YouTube, it is important to choose as many relevant tags as possible. Google will rank the videos both for your target keywords and your tags. 4. Google’s algorithm is not sophisticated enough to analyze the content of your video, however, if your video does not offer any real value, it will result in higher bounce rate and fewer views and subscriptions, which in turn will negatively affect your rankings. So don’t just create a video to get links, instead, think of it as a dynamic content. Add engaging and relevant background music tracks to your video to keep your viewers attention.

One of the best video distribution services is offered by TubeMogul. It encodes and distributes your video to dozens of video platforms and saves you a lot of time. The best part is that it is free of charge! 6. Fire backlinks to your videos. If your video is related to any of the vertical directories, social bookmarking would help too. It is best to start off with your YouTube video when you are building links and doing social bookmarking activities. If you are uploading your video on your site along with the third-party video sites, make sure that your site has unique content (description, transcript etc.) compared to the third-party video platforms. Offering a transcript of your video is helpful too. 7. If uploading the video on your site, make sure to offer the “embed video†code to your viewers. A well done video can serve as an effective link-bait and help you in increasing your authority and presence in your marketplace. Hope you like it.
