Great SEO Videos that no one is watching!

5 July, 2008 (17:51) | Uncategorized

I have been an avid watcher of videos posted by well known SEO’s ever since they started appearing. Until recently I only watched them embedded into people’s pages. Yesterday I thought “hmm, there must be more of these on YouTube” as YouTube is where all the SEO’s host their embedded videos.

When you view the videos on YouTube you obviously see the number of watches these videos have had, I was expecting tens of thousands of people to have watched these videos, but I got rather a shock, some of these videos have had incredibly few views, some less than 100!

What’s going on?! These videos are in the main excellent, and they quite often contain better snippets of info than textual articles. People are really missing out a great deal by not watching these videos. Get out there and discover them!

Here’s some to get you started:

How interesting! I never even knew they were out there. I will have to check them out. And thanks for the videos posted with this link.

Just out of curiosity, how does embedding a video into a site really help optimising?

The actual video content won’t help a huge amount as the spiders as yet cannot understand the content, but if you create video content you are looking for people to link to you because of the video, it’s essentially good linkbait.
