for optimal SEO on some instructional videos im doing. should i: 1.upload video directly to my site or 2. upload video to youtube and use their uploading with as much tagging and such as i can, then link that onto my site?
hmm - interesting question. If you upload it to your own site and you already attract a lot of visitors and your video is good then people will link to your site... this is the best option in terms of SEO. However if you aren't already attracting a lot of visitors I would suggest you promote your website through the video and upload to youtube as you're likely to get far more eyeballs that way.
