    What do you guys think is the best way to use video for SEO purposes? I've heard that putting your videos up on YouTube and your website can actually be bad, but it seems like for general marketing purposes it is best to have a YouTube channel and host the videos on your website. Any thoughts on which option would yield the greatest benefit?

    I have never heard or have seen the effects of YouTube video being bad for SEO. However in general marketing it does help out a lot to gain a lot of targeted traffic if you implement YouTube Marketing properly

    YouTube is the best way to insert videos for the purpose of general marketing to get more traffic on your website..

    I understand that YouTube is the best way to get your video seen the most times, but for SEO purposes, is it better to host the videos entirely on your side or embed your own channel's YouTube videos? I feel the latter technique is the best way to go because exposure is paramount but if it works better for SEO to host videos only on your site, and not YouTube, then having a mix seems like it would be the best strategy. What do you think?

    Create videos and place keyword tags to your video and then promote it. Merely creating videos doesn't help you out in SEO. Include those videos on your site as well as on youtube. Make sure the keywords tagged to the video are same as that of being used in the website.

    Yes if video optimization is being done correctly, it is really helpful for any site promotion. Video should be informative and attractive and needs to be optimized properly.
