    Here another one to remove the annotations form the youtube embedded player

    To disable annotations on a video you'd like to embed on another site,
    just add the following parameter to the video's embed code:

    &iv_load_policy=3

    Example:

    <object width="425" height="344"</object>

    NOTE: By adding &iv_load_policy=3 to the video's embed code, the
    annotations will be off *by default* in the embedded video, but it is
    still possible for a viewer to turn them on via the menu in the
    player.

    Again it is the same thing that google detects the PR of pages, I've heard from someone that Google uses a particular algorithm, where database itself records the article that was posted first and if both videos are found same under database listings then post which was posted first gets a higher priority and thus SEO of anything like music,videos or pages works prior to this condition

    Thanks buddy for this post, Waiting for your upcoming post's

    Thank you for the great list of resources. What I find most interesting is the lack of knowledge on VSEO - and it's viability!

    Great list Mark. Video has become such an inportant aspect of SEO, or any online marketing really. We're a big fan of Animoto.com down here. It's a great tool.

    • http://www.reelseo.com/ Mark Robertson

      We like animoto as well... Custom video is sometimes better for those brands that need it but Animoto is certainly an excellent tool for quick, effective, slideshow-type videos

    Excellent site, keep up the good work.

  • ixod

    Why website video? What about plain old website copy? What about blogs?

    Copy is still copy, and blogs are still blogs... and you will always have those people who prefer to learn and absorb by reading. (At iXod Conversion Marketing, we live by the "old" Content is King adage!)

    However, let's not forget about the vast majority of information-seekers who are just plain lazy. They don't feel like reading, don't feel like scrolling. What they really want is instant gratification for clicking on your web page.

  • dhirajch

    Really a great great blog for video optimization thanks.

  • ryanarmstrong

    That is quite the exhaustive list, props on putting it together. I've already read a couple, but a ton of them were new to me! I've always had troubles promoting videos online properly, and getting traction with them, so these articles are greatly appreciated.

    There's an online webinar that I am going to attend (full disclosure: a friend of mine is putting it on, hence how I know about it) that talks about how to leverage online videos to bring people in and to cross promote your website. Might be worth a look:xtalks.com/xto378outliersolutions.ashx-

    @Mark: A client of mine who does flame testing on products had an idea of doing a "will it blend" type of thing but with his flame chamber. What are your thoughts on doing videos that are pretty one off to what the client sells. i.e. I'm sure the video could do pretty well, but would it really drive relevant traffic/interest to the client, who sells testing services.

    • http://www.reelseo.com/ Mark Robertson

      Thanks Ryan. I do think that those videos can help with branding and if
      popular enough - they can help with direct sales as has happened with
      willitblend, but is very difficult, if not impossible to "plan" a viral
      video if you know what I mean.

    This is whole new avenue for me!

    I have been optimizing websites for years and working on different link strategies, but this is the first time I have studied optimizing video's.

    I have read a large amount of your work and find it exceptionally helpful.

    Well I have two questions #1 I don't understand the two pack four back issue, is this under my control or out of my control and how do I control it?
    #2 Do mentioning Location Keywords plus having the proper locations settings in the video helps you? Lets say I'm a Florida realtor so I would want my video to rank on top go Google's Universal SERP in Florida only since I would have less competition and I really don't care about the rest. Would this be possible?
