Online video is probably the most powerful marketing tool you'll ever use online.
Perhaps many of you already know that having video on a website produces better conversion rates; but how many of you know, or even thought about the SEO benefits of having video?
Web video is a disruptive technology that is changing the SEO game; Google purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion - is it wise to say that their algorithms have been changed/enhanced for web video? Of course it is.
It's been proven that one can obtain a good ranking on Google overnight using web video - this requires the right skill set and up-to-date knowledge; Google now rates video higher than large articles, videos that have good relevant (metadata) titles, descriptions and keywords used for the video's name (i.e. instead of using 77034_jp.mp4, use hotelname-kings-lynn-norfolk-east-anglia.mp4) - are more likely to be brought forward within the SERPS (search engine results pages).

Thanks for the very useful information. I always imagined how Google would interpret the data in a video, as the search engine bots are programs and they cannot see the video. But, just missed out that title and keywords stuff. But still I feel Google also gives credit to plain texts!

I think video is more overrated than a lot of people are making it out to be. It certainly doesn't hurt and can help a lot of sites. But it's definitely not for everyone

Hi guys,
It is SMO and not exactly SEO. We can increase the conversion rate and traffic to a website by video promotions but I don't think there is any benefit for a website having video than websites without video.

Well, you have to have a great description of the video to attract people to click on it and watch. maybe it can add up benefits but still, it depends on the content and the quality of the video. But anyway, thanks for this info. I'm sure some people out there might be interested to include videos on their sites.

First of all, I would ask the writer how does video benefit SEO? Can you be more precise?
Not all websites as someone has pointed out would not benefit for a video on their site in terms of attracting visitors. But that isn't SEO.
Before anyone actually falls into the SEO trap, I always suggest to go to Search Engine Optimisation Guidelines from Google.

No one, and I would say NO ONE can say the Video would help with SEO. If it was, then why isn't it on Guidelines on Google? Something Google revealed to you and not to us OP?

Hi,
SEO TRAP? You seriously need some updating friend; You state that "No one, and I would say NO ONE can say the Video would help with SEO.", so what's happening here:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=80472
http://www.reelseo.com/seo-for-video/
Video SEO is the application of SEO best practices when publishing online video content to ensure maximum visibility across search engines and ultimately, your target audience.
And you obviously have never heard of "blended search results" have you?
Heres a quickie: open Google.com in your browser and type in the following:
yamaha sg 1000
Click Search
What do you see? Blended search results!
Now what link would you say an aspiring guitar player would click on, hmm perhaps a guitar demo provided by Rose Morris - who happens to sell guitars?

I certainly don't need to update anything, however, you will need to explain to me where on the google link it demonstrate that you will rank higher in search engines? Whereas the link I posted here clearly shows what webmasters need to do in terms of optimisation.
Also reelseo talks about optimisation technique and there is no reference of high rank because of videos?
If you talk about relevance or benefits of adding a video then of course there is. But you will first need to get "real visitors" to your site who you may or may not be able to impress with your video.
Let me tell you this. I have a Rose Morris video on my site and I sell your yamaha but my price is higher than my competetor. Will you buy from me? Buyers are not so thick that you can just make a sell from adding a video.
Can you show me a site which only achieved higher rank because of it's the video?
You can argue that posting vidoes on youtube to a company specific product may create interest and increase traffic - which I am truely in favour of, but you cannot argue that by adding a video on the site would magically help someone achieve a higher rank.

Hi,
I have responded many times to the above posts (negative and positive), yet they are removed. Can Admin explain to me, why my posts are removed?
I started this thread, why not just delete it entirely? I have a right to respond to a thread I started, surely?

Ideal for achieving exponential growth in incoming targeted traffic. The concept of normal viral marketing is very simple. The video is passed on to a group of people who forward it to more people who would like to view it. Video SEO marketing is more advanced. The videos are submitted in all well known video sites and on page and off page search engine optimization techniques are implemented for the site this strengthens the web presence of the site.

Hi,
This is in my opinion a great example of video on a website; a recent project - I and a colleague completed:
www.aspray.com
This video works well on their homepage. And also a nice video for them to place on YouTube etc... as mentioned by rohit_tripathi60.

But... do the search engines really notice a video? Do they care that you have one? How would they know if the content is relevant?
I'm just trying to learn and have a lot of questions!

Vides CAN rank high in Google for keywords, I have often seen youtube videos on pages 1-3. But....video marketing can be very successful for some keywords and a failure for others. It all depends on the niche of your business ultimately.
However, either way, get some videos on the top video sites now.
A few tips. Ensure your targewtted keyword is in the title or IS the title. Get your backlink in the description area (although not all of the top sites allow this - Youtube does)
Anyone needs more tips, PM me.
