Video for search engine optimization or simply Video SEO, is a term that refers to getting visibility for videos and for building strong back links for website owners. Nearly 139 million U.S. Internet users watched an average of 83 videos per viewer in March 2008, viewing a total of 11.5 billion online videos during the month according to comScore. New York Times said that around 75% of web users watch online video; the average YouTube visitor watches more than 25 minutes of video everyday; and according to eMarketer, more than 50% of all web traffic is video. Based on these impressive numbers, you may want to get going on a Video SEO program with SEO Professors.
Keep in mind that search engines can't look inside the video to tell what the content is (at this time… but this will change soon enough), so today it is important that you know how to create and distribute videos properly so that your videos rank number one in your niche market.
Here are a few benefits for using Video SEO:
- It will help you increase traffic to your website
- It will give your website a high ranking back links
- It will help brand your product, service and website
- Videos can rank higher and faster than text based SEO
