I’m starting to see a few websites with a YouTube logo in one corner or as part of the site menu. \u00a0I take that to mean there’s a company YouTube<\/a> channel linked to it. \u00a0But you shouldn’t stop there. If you make YouTube your sole source of video traffic, you’re missing the boat.<\/p>\n

Here’s how:
\n1. Videos hosted on your own server get “liked” by the search engines quicker.
\n2. If you don’t show some of your expertise – in the form of videos – on your site, you’re asking your audience to jump through another hoop in order to get them.<\/p>\n

Instead:
\nPost your best – the ones that answer questions or solve problems – on a page or pages that are dedicated to solving that problem.
\nUse your YouTube embed code to play your videos in email newsletters, and other communication tools.<\/p>\n

Put your videos out front, and let them work their magic.<\/p>\n

— That’s a wrap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
