    At our forum we have a new Media Page which has just gone live, my question is.
    Is there anything I need to do differently with SEO? Is there anything I should know to help?

    I think no need to do anything specially for videos. Actually I'm not familiar with doing SEO for videos )))

    Ok thanks for your reply. I guess why I am asking is because there is no text for the bot to crawl as such, just media.

    I have a site that's mostly about videos, with each video being on its own play page. For the most part, all I do is ensure that each video's meta title and meta description are repeated somewhere on the page it plays on, and I get very decent traffic from search engines...

    Does it make any difference if they are YouTube videos that have been uploaded?

    make a 'contents' page with thumbnails linking to the videos, include the usual ALT and Title tags, keywords, etc.

    Best of Success,

    This has been done. But does it make a difference if they are YouTube videos?
