Thanks for these truly excellent tips. I think repurposing videos is an awesome ideas – I do the same for my content. It's always good to dig up the old refurbish it and do something new with it. It turns your video (and content) into a gift that just keeps on giving.

Great tips – I expecially like #5 and re-purposing content – if you've already got great ideas, why not put some extra thought into how you can spread it around again, just a little differently – totally useful for social media.

Thanks for the tips! I think the main thing is to optimize the keywords so that you can get as many people directed to what you want to see even if they weren't searching for you. Also, it may just be an opinion but I think it is important to have content on a credible site in order to gain respect from the viewer.

Thank you for these tips. I use Tubemogul and that works great! I hadn't thought of taking a screen shot and putting it on Flickr. That's a very good idea and one I'm going to start implementing right now.

Repurpose your video into a blog and strip out the audio to a podcast. Give each the same title which seems to help with search engine results.

Great tip Dave. The reverse is also useful: transcribe audio from a video into text and use that to create additional blog content. Optimize it with keywords and cross link back to the video page will provide some SEO value.

Michelle, thanks for the great post. Another idea is to actually take some of the text-based content from your site and basically “recreate” that as a short and sweet video and post it on your site. In this way, you may entice some of your site visitors who are not inclined to read every last word that you have out there, to actually click into a SHORT video, and get the message you are trying to convey. Remember, a certain percentage of your site visitors will NEVER read what you have posted, but WILL watch a video. I guess it's a laziness thing, but hey, if you can capture the attention of an extra 2-5% of your visitors, why not go for it. Video production/editing is cheap these days. Thanks again.

Here's an idea… an idea that has a call to action. Offer your video as the number one reason for… cause of… or solution to… : Then encourage the viewer to contact you for the next couple of problems, solution or reasons you have to share. Bob

Thanks for this Michelle, it's good to read this info as it is easy to view 'video' in isolation, ie. you get too carried away generating the content and forget to optimise it!

Question – was it just me or was the link to TubeMogul not working?

Great run down of video optimization tips.

Another quick and easy thing to keep on your optimization radar would be the video's thumbnail. Testing and trying different thumbnail pictures can not only increase your video clickthrough rate, but also add an element of branding when your video appears on a Google search result.
