13.5 pros and cons
Posting regular video content shouldn’t result in any negativity, provided it is
done in a focused, engaging way. That said, there are definitely pros and cons
to the way in which you decide to optimise video content.
Given the continuous divergence of online video into two distinct areas, namely
social video and video as a tool to increase search rankings, the lines can easily
become blurred as to which direction you are heading in. Which form of video
optimisation will work better for you? Where should you turn your efforts?
Remember that essentially what you are trying to do is improve your business
online so you need to define what your exact goal is. If you want to drive users
from search engines to your site, put your energy in VSEO. If your goal is to
drive users from other destinations to watch your videos, you should place
emphasis on social media optimisation (SMO).
• Video search engine optimisation
Search engines are placing a lot of emphasis on usage data in determining a
site or a video’s relevance to a user’s search query. This will soon become the
single largest factor in determining search rankings and in displaying related
content.
This will be even more heavily emphasised on YouTube than on Google, as
users visit the site to browse. Take a look at the Search Engine Optimisation
chapter; its concepts are essential to your success.
• Social media optimisation
Social media optimisation for video focuses on user engagement with your
content. Instead of looking at ranking factors, you are looking primarily at
your audience. Ask yourself what they would enjoy and what would make their
experience memorable (and therefore worth re-telling). You want them to
spread the word, via email, chat, Twitter, Facebook, and essentially get your
video to go viral.
By studying analytics, Insights and comments, you can see which videos on
your channel/site are providing users with what they’re looking for. You can
then choose to advertise your best videos with the various formats YouTube
and Google have on offer.
