Video is SEO Gold! Just by having video on your site, you'll rise in the SEO ratings. Why?
- Google owns YouTube. Once you have a video, it will crawl your site faster.
- You can link from your YouTube account to your site -- a very high-quality link.
- Video tends to increase visitors who stay longer so you have higher Google PageRanks.
Sure, you can have your video located on your own web server, but that defeats the purpose. Besides, it is very tough to do for most people. The easiest solution is to use YouTube.
Here are a few links that will help you on your way to adding a YouTube video. This is the first step in getting the video on your site.
