• complete control on video content
• meta tags and encoded video meta information under control
• search engine targeting through SEO techniques
• bandwidth + disk space costs
• time/material investment to encode videos, create web pages and optimize assets
• video encoding software cost + complexity
3RD PARTIES VIDEO HOSTING

• marketing to a larger “captive audience”
• simplified search algorithm

VIDEO HOSTED ON SITE
• Encode videos in several formats and for high-bandwidth, but always give a low bandwidth option
• Popular formats: MPEG, QuickTime, Real, Windows Media, Divx
• Use relevant keywords and “rich names” for both video files and directories
• Encode video with rich metadata. Use Keyword research tools such as Wordtracker, Google Adwords etc.
• Optimize the web page hosting the video (including text content and, if possible, transcriptione) for better performance in organic and universal results
• Simplify URLs and directory tree. Put the video directory off root if possible. Include a link to video page in footer and sitemap
• Create video RSS feeds (MRSS)
• Submit as much videos ad possible and relative sitemaps/rss to search engines

THIRD PARTIES VIDEO HOSTING
• Encode videos with the best possible quality accepted by video sharing sites
• Use watermarks and opening/closing titles to protect your assets and to create branding effect – choose Creative Commons to maximize distribution
• Optimize video submission using good (keyword-rich) titles, descriptions, tags, geo-targeting, links and, if possible, a full text transcription of the video
• Develop a solid link building strategy. Anchor texts are (still) important to Google
• Allow download, share, embed, comments, replies… all social features to maximize distribution

• Create buzz, this is what social media is about
• Be creative and sexy – like advertising is supposed to be
• Take advantage of multiple uploading tools like TubeMogul
• Talk about your videos in forums, blogs and social networks
• Take in consideration Social Bookmarking (del.ici.us, Digg, StumbleUpon)
• Include well defined calls to action, and a tracking analysis
• Tell your friends (a lot of them)
• Be interesting: social networking is about linking – and linking is about relevance!

Google grabs data from different sources, usually the most relevant
result for a local search
Get your address right – consistency of address across all sites
Phone numbers – don’t forget about it
Register with Google's Local Business Center – Yahoo's Local Search –
Live/BING Search Local Listing Center
Service and/or product name in business name & description
City name in the business name & description – location close to city
center – reviews, especially good ones
