Nice concise video SEO checklist

September 24, 2008 by Doug Mitchell

The Web Optimist has a nice concise post listing the “Should Do’s” for video search engine optimization (SEO). We know that our clients and target clients are MOST interested in becoming MORE FINDABLE. So no matter what we call the technology/science/art…

Let’s just say that following these simple guidelines gives your site and videos more Internet Findability.

I’ve included just 2 of the killer useful bullet points below. You MUST visit this post and tag it/bookmark it/subscribe to…whatever you do to archive USEFUL information. Now go forth and USE this stuff. It’s good and a good part of our sermon at createWOWmedia.

Use TubeMogul.com – Use this site to upload your video to several video sites at once. Your video could actually show up several times for a single search. See my previous post Importance of Diversity in S E O for an example. TubeMogul.com also includes YouTube stats for you and your competition.
Use rich meta data – Video optimization, like web page optimization, is still driven by this. As with your content-rich web pages, make sure your title and meta description are keyword rich and helpful to the visitors (and spiders).

Thanks for being a great resource Web Optimist. As the weather begins to cool here in the Midwest, I’ll flash back and think of you basking in the Palm Springs, CA sunshine.
