Video SEO

Most bloggers have heard of SEO – Search Engine Optimisation.  Put simply it is the means used to improve how visible a website is when key words are placed in to a search engine such as Google.  However, have you heard of Video SEO?

Video Search Engine Optimisation is not something that a lot of people have heard about, but there are sites like 99moves that exist to increase the search results for particular videos – with the ultimate aim of getting a video to the number 1 slot across a plethora of search engines.

This is an important strategy if a video is going to go viral.  The SEO of a video is vital for its success, so that it can be positioned at number one on search engines such as Bing and Yahoo as well as Google – not to mention video specific sites such as YouTube and (our favorite) Vimeo.

With Video SEO, certain things have to be taken in to account such as brand and target audience.  It is the online behavior of the target audience which will determine the SEO techniques used.   The techniques used are guarded closely by companies but it has been proven time and time again that certain strategies work and that videos which were otherwise performing poorly in terms of search engine results can quickly climb to the number one spot.
