Web Video Hosting Platforms Comparison Tool – VidCompare

Posted by ReelSEO Video Marketing at 4:00 pm

I know that many of our readers are fans of using YouTube as a video hosting platform. While I completely agree that almost everyone should leverage YouTube itself for its massive audience, and while there are clearly some benefits to using YouTube, (mainly – it is free) there are reasons why a business may choose a custom video platform solution for their own website (player customization and content rights to name a few). Even more important to me, is the fact that currently the easiest way to get your own site’s video thumbnails to show up in Google Universal search (pointing to your url vs YouTube’s), is to use a platform other than YouTube to power your website videos.

Why rent an audience when you can buy your own? That’s the new philosophy of marketers who are spending money this year to build out a social networking presence through “earned” media rather than paid media, reports Daisy Whitney. Some advertisers, like Pepsi, are pouring marketing dollars into homegrown projects rather than flashy bets like the SuperBowl. But even so, online video ad dollars will grow significantly this year according to the most recent figures from eMarketer. For more details on new ad formats and where advertisers will allocate dollars, tune into this week’s episode of the New Media Minute.
