The use of video marketing generates much better exposure compared to that of regular website marketing using more traditional techniques.
Current research indicates that 38% of US online users make extensive use of Video Search. YouTube is now the 2nd largest Search Engine after Google. In 2009 YouTube surpassed Yahoo as the world’s number 2 search engine and continues to be an outstanding contributor for Google.
Your video should then be optimized for online exposure using Backlinks in a similar way as you would for a normal website. For example you might create links to your video from articles you submitted to the major Web 2.0 sites as well as Backlinks from other high Page Ranked websites. You might also consider submitting the video to the social network sites and post its link on relevant forums. You can even get great high page ranked Backlinks by using the “Channel Comments” within YouTube itself. Another way to get wide exposure for your video is to submit it to the other major video websites so that the associated keywords, metatags, and categories can be listed in all these major video search engines.
Online video marketing is constantly evolving and so your approach will need to change with the times. The summary above represents most of the current ‘best practices’ on how to get the most out of your online Business promotion, but your techniques will need to evolve as new online marketing options emerge.
