I began to develop a post regarding my findings on best practices to SEO Video. The principle fundamentals to SEO a web page for content and images is the same for video. There are additional considerations you should engage from a video perspective.

If you have video content on your site, empower the reader to  generate and copy HTML code of the Video’s URL. This enables them to embed your video into their own web sites or blogs. This SEO Video strategy builds a relevant inbound link from the readers site to yours. The Search Engines love this type of Video SEO and does have significant effect to help inbound links. Another best practice to SEO Video, is, ensure your video file names and URL’s are content relevant. An example is a music video of a new upcoming musician. The flash file name for your video should be “listen-my-music-musicians-name.flv”. This file name is part of the HTML code readers embed into their sites.

SEO is all about building relevance of conten. If you use the correct white hat SEO best practices for video, you will be fine. While writing this post, I was performing additional research to validate my strategies. I came across a post on Video SEO Guide and Best Practices written by Kieran Hawe of Webtribution.com. The post is full of best practices to SEO and is beneficial reading I am recommending. This is a great source for new Internet marketers coming online.
