Online Video Social Bookmarking Anyone?
October 09, 2007
Online video submission sites have been popping up everywhere online for the last year or so. Due to this increase, online marketers are utilizing this form of marketing to get their clients’ Web sites greater exposure in the search engines. Video marketing is becoming a power force for companies seeking to distribute branding content online in a viral fashion. Syndicating video content through social bookmarking sites is a great opportunity to aid a company’s Universal Search Engine Optimization efforts. As we know, Google has changed the way it is displaying its search results (Universal Search) to give users more content options in one interface.
There are many types of video submission Web sites that exist online, the primary difference being the quality of the videos being displayed on these sites. If you have clients who are creating videos to describe their products, services, etc., then I would recommend creating a video submission strategy to get this type of media found in various places online. By utilizing social bookmarking sites you can ensure that your clients’ videos will be displayed in Google’s search results as well as other media hubs online.
Here are 55 video sharing Web sites I would recommend as a starting point for creating a viral video submission strategy:
AOL Uncut, Blip, Blinkz, Break, Brightcove, Clesh, Cuts, Dabble, Daily Motion, Dave.tv, DivX Stage 6, eefoof, Eyeka, Eyespot, Fliqz, FlixYa, Forscene, Google Video, Gotuit, Grouper, iFilm, JayCut, Jumpcut, Kewego, LiveVideo, Lycos Mix, Metacafe, Mojiti, MotionBox, MyHeavy, MyNumo, MySpaceTV, Ning, OneTrueMedia, Photobucket, Revver, SevenLoad, Soapbox, StashSpace, Sumo, Twango, Veoh, Viddler, Vidilife, Vimeo, Vmix, VodPod, Vsocial, Webshots, Yahoo Video, YouAreTV, YouTube, Yurth, Zeec and Ziddio.
Video submission and/or social bookmarking Web sites have a variety of guidelines for making submissions, so play by the rules and you will see your videos show up all over the place online. You don’t have to go overboard when making submissions, as long as you can get your video to show up on the top video submissions sites like Google and Yahoo video, Metacafe, Blinkz, etc., you will be fine from a distribution standpoint.
