Add Video To Your Web Site

One of the easiest ways to add video to your web site is through linking videos directly from YouTube. Obviously you can shoot the video yourself but then what?

Here is a video on how to upload a video from your computer to YouTube.

Need a cheap "all in one" video solution?

 One of the easiest, cost effective video cameras I have ever used is the "Flip" video camera. It is an excellent solution for just about any budget video recording, stores a decent amount of information, has a built in USB dongle AND has software ALREADY BUILT IN for uploading your new videos to YouTube directly off the camera.

Why use YouTube for Internet Marketing?

 First, be aware that Google owns YouTube. So you can be fairly sure that ANYTHING that you put on YouTube is going to get indexed by Google's indexing spiders sooner than later. Remember that whatever you type in the TITLE section and the TAGs section of the video you upload is what the spiders will index for. This is truly powerful information as Google indexes these videos in DAYS not weeks or months like they normally would if you were to upload your videos directly to a private web site.  

See how this can work in your favor? If you shoot a professional marketing video, and use a private label video player like JW Player and embed the video into your web site that's great. It's a great player and it allows you to make a custom video presentation without the amateurish "YouTube" branding right on your polished video presentation. But what I'm seeing lately is many web businesses and organizations are aware of the power and short index timing on YouTube videos and they are literally "sucking it up" and dealing with the YouTube branding on their own video productions. They would rather have the "power of YouTube" and short Google search indexing in their corner than not.

So how did I get the videos you see on this page to be seen ON THIS PAGE? Easy enough. If you go to any YouTube video on the YouTube site look at the bottom of the video. You will see the options for LIKE, DISLIKE, SHARE and EMBED. If you click on "embed" it will then give you additional options for the "code" of the video. If you copy this code into your web page in the HTML source it will then "embed" the video and provide the video presentation on your site where ever you choose to place it on your web page. Simple enough?
