You’ve got some more work that needs to be done before the masses come rushing to watch your videos and the first thing you need to do is to get the search engines indexing your videos. So here are a handful of tips so get reading already because time is a wasting.

Keywords “These are, well, key. If you don’t have accurate keywords attached to your video intelligent video search bots aren’t going to be able to pick up your videos so what makes you think that intelligent web surfers will do any better? These keywords should be incorporated into the title, description and used in meta tags for your videos. This applies if you’re hosting the videos on your own site or if you’re putting them up on a video sharing site.

Video Sharing Sites “You will not be surprised to learn that YouTube gets more traffic than your website does. So why not put your video where the most people can find it? YouTube is one of the most popular sites on the web and one of the great things about it is that you won’t get hit for duplicate content in Google’s index when you post your videos up there. A pretty cool advantage for a small amount of work really. Making a channel to group all of your videos together will also help to strengthen brand awareness as they will be easier to find.

RSS and MRSS “These two protocols allow you to tell the search engines when your site updates and when you post something new on the web, specifically for MRSS a media file. There are very specific formats required for these files but they’re easy enough to research. Many CMS software packages even make them automatically so you don’t even really need to worry about making it, just submitting it. This will really help the search engines find you content when you tell them where these files are and soon your videos will be shooting up the search engine results charts.

While these are only three simple ways to get your video search engine optimized they are definitely a start. Making your video easy to find, easy to share and appropriately categorized will definitely be a major help in getting people to look at it. But it’s also got to be worth looking at so the content has to be useful and interesting. There are many other things that you can do to search engine optimize your video online so be sure to take a look around.
