Online Video Distribution

 Once you have created website videos, you can use them to draw more attention to your website through video distribution. Video networks are becoming one of the search venues most often used for specific types of information, and if your business, service or product can be explained or demonstrated using a virtual presenter, you can take advantage of a huge network of video sites to promote your site.

 

The first step to getting an online video noticed is to properly submit it to the major video networks: YouTube, Yahoo Videos, AOL Videos, Revver and Metacafe, to start. Follow approved video SEO tactics by properly tagging your video with relevant keywords as well as your business name, address and phone number. Think about what searchers might input if they were looking for information on your topic, and use those keywords for tagging. Since Google indexes regular web content and video site content differently, you need tag carefully to ensure your video is categorized properly.

 

You should aim for the following when putting website videos together for online distribution:

 

Ÿ  Make sure your video is interesting, factually correct, and flows smoothly. You may wish to use professional web spokespeople to ensure that your video is of the highest quality.

 

Ÿ  Use the most relevant keywords from your website to SEO your video, and link back to your website. If all of your content is properly optimized, Google can serve up both your website listing and your online video to searchers.

 

Ÿ  Try for a humorous approach if possible, Most ‘viral videos’ (videos that get linked to and passed around generating thousands of hits) are videos that make people laugh. Avoid being crass, however.

 

Ÿ  Concentrate on video distribution to the main video sites first, but don’t neglect smaller niche sites and blogs that allow you to upload your video. The more people who get access to your video, the more potential views if they find it worthy enough to pass along.

 

Once you have created a captivating, informative video using a virtual spokesperson, you can begin video distribution. Think about what searchers might input if they were looking for information on your topic, and use those keywords for tagging. You can link your video back to your website, and link to your video from comments on blogs, social networks and in niche forums related to your product or service.
