With all of the changes going on at Google these days…

…it’s hard to keep up with what’s going on in the Search Engine Results Pages.

I use a lot of video for my clients and if you read my recent post: “Web Video Marketing: Easy To Do, and It Works!”
you will understand why I might be a little concerned when I heard that Google isn’t ranking video like they were.  There’s been a lot of controversy over how Google ranks video with lots of people complaining about an unfair advantage to video.  In my view there’s no unfair advantage…just use it too!

So to put any doubt to bed (at least for now), that video is still getting great rankings in the search results, here are a couple of examples that I loaded for one of my clients just last night.  As you can see we occupy most or all of the top 4 listings for each of the search terms.

What I have noticed is that there are no pictures of the videos in the results, just the text listings.  I’ve also noticed that YouTube isn’t getting the rankings.  Consistently I’m finding these sites to rank well; Dailymotion, Metacafe, and Kendin Coş video search engine, and Veoh.  You’ll also notice in the examples that Digg ranked well.

As always you’re welome to contact me with questions about this or any SEO strategy or technique noted on my site.
