Google and YouTube
As Google owns YouTube, YouTube content can be quite a high priority for the Search Engine.


After adding my Video logo thread earlier this week it's interesting to see what Google has made of things in just a few days!

After creating my video demonstration I 'hosted' the finished video (using Freeola's InstantPro original) on YouTube. I embedded the video on my site in a new page. This page is yet to be indexed by Google - which is quite normal as if was only a few days ago.

Google indexes sites that it sees as having a 'high authority' quicker than lowly hobby sites like mine!

1 day after creating and putting the video on YouTube I noticed it was already number 1 for a search on YouTube for Freeola.
Remember users can also perform this search direct from Google by picking the option in the 'more' dropdown.

This morning I notice that Google also shows my video in 1st position on a Google Video search for Freeola.
It is also the 'featured' video embedded in the page.

The InstantPro video is also 5th out of 9,630 results when performing a normal Google search for Freeola video.
Google also displays a thumbnail image for the result which is nice.

So the bottom line is - as an alternative visitor/traffic source for your website why not think about adding video using YouTube?


Remember to 'brand' your video with a logo etc. and also setup a dedicated YouTube 'Channel' where you can provide information and a link to your website: www.youtube.com/user/hmmmUK.
My channel is still under construction as you will see :¬)
