Those are some great tips. thanks! BTW, have you found certain video sharing sites better than others, or are the usual suspects enough: dailymotion, metacafe, vimeo, etc?
One other question for you related to the backlinking portion. Now for me, I have been using magic submitter to create profiles (blogs and forums) on a very diverse set of sites with an anchored backlink to my vids. You mentioned in a prior post that you use social bookmarks coupled with scrapebox.
1. Are you able to get videos to rank strictly through the social bookmarks?
2. If not, how aggressive are you with sb in blasting out comments to get the video ranked?
I'm thinking of getting scrapebox to speed this process up if in fact it gives the desired results. I've also considered xrumer blasts but I haven't seen anyone report results here other than just mentioning it as an idea or asking if others have done it.
Thanks for the tips! I cannot wait to get SB so that I can really crank up the video promotion.
On a side note related to this whole idea of 'universal search', have you ever tried ranking a picture? It may prove worthless, but hey if you can dominate multiple aspects of a unversal search term that just means more hooks to your site/offer. I might just try this for kicks and see what happens.
Initially I find that dailymotion and metacafe can quickly outrank YT, but for staying power, I like YT. Also, for what I'm doing, I like being able to change the annotations any time I want to, so YT is for me.
If its not too competitive of a niche than bookmarking seems to give it enough pop to reach the first page, and to keep it there for awhile. If you're using Magic Submitter, the status .net sites work really well for vids.
I almost always now add a blast with SB. I get good results but one thing I am noticing is that SB blasts move regular websites faster than YT vids. So, be patient, its not overnight but I always see results from SB blast in 1-3 weeks. I generally hit each vid with 10-15K links... more or less depending on the niche.
If you're into video marketing I'd definitely add SB to your mix; I've not used xrumer on vids yet, but would be interested in the results.
One of the rankings is on number of comments on your videos. So i wonder if we have 1000 vids uploaded and blast 999 links on comments on every video to other own videos
It works
