seo with youtube videos as content?

A idea i've been thinking of was to find a video for my particular niche on youtube ad it to my site and include possible 100 to 200 words(the video being the main part of the content). rince and repeat for other topics my site covers ineffect very easy content.

My question is how will this rank i know the usual matters such as backlinks/competion etc.

but will it be difficult due to the fact my main content is youtube videos.

100-200 words will not be enough .. but the basic idea is perfectly sound ...

As a backlink 100-200 words + video is fine. You'll still want to add more words if you want the embedded video page itself to actually rank without a lot of backlinks of its own..

200-300 words is fine. If you add more keywords + add a keyword in the caption under the video and add backlinks,you will get good results

Yes Definitely, I agree with you talsin.

My opinion also (100 - 200 words + video)

Yes, video is one form of content media. Websites get credit for integrating videos in the website in terms of rankings and backlinks as well.

google hates short articles, so you should think about adding more content

i think it increase average time on site. It's a good way in my oppinion !

need to learn more on this stuff

I HOPE I'M HELPING A LITTLE BIT.... FOR YOUTUBE MARKETERS.
1. Make your video easy to find. Since you are marketing in a crowded marketplace, make sure that your videos are findable. To achieve this, you need to consider these important things. One, check if your targeted keywords are in the first few words of the video title. For maximum results, reform the overall impact of your title by using colon after your beginning keywords. Make your video description with a complete URL. And ensure that your description is keyword-rich if possible. Through this, your viewers can easily spot you online.

2. Launch a brand channel on YouTube. Creating a branded YouTube experience is possible even without money. If you want to shine among the rest, customize your background and choose colors that go with your branding. Set up "player view" as your layout. This will enable you to play videos automatically. Organize your videos in a playlists and feature your best products or offerings at the right column.
3. Utilize YouTube Ads. Online advertising is a potential way of YouTube marketing. You can use "call to action" technique wherein your submission becomes a promoted video. Or stick to "keyword" bidding like what is done in Google. Once a visitor searches your video's name, instead of text, the thumbnail of the video comes out.

thanks for the replies i was actually going to use other peoples videos so
for example if theres a video of drag racing on youtube and my niche was racing(its not)
i would use the video with A 200 word ish description.
easy to generate lots of content pretty fast.
wondered how G would react with ranking though.
