  Search Engine Optimization

  Posted by Norman Willis on July 26, 2010 at 4:15 am

  Is there any way to optimize video for web search engines? When I upload to YouTube or Vimeo I get the option to enter keywords manually. Does it do anything to fill out Properties > Summary > Comments with keywords? Or is that nothing?

  Norman,

  Do you want the video to come up in say a google search for a product or a website?
  or do you just want the video to get found at the respective host site?

  (adding relevant keywords help for both btw.)

  simply uploading your video to several sites helps really well for google optimization.
  just space out the uploads — one a day or so — so as to not look like a bot or spammer.
  also, change your keywords up (try using spyntax).

  for what it’s worth, youtube has a not terribly well-known, but very effective keyword tool.
  if say a competitor has a video, you snag that address, plug it into the youtube keyword tool, and it’ll spit back the competitor’s keywords.
  find it here:
