Getting Youtube Channel to Appear in Own Brand Search Results
-
Hi There
When searching for a company's name, the company's YouTube channel infrequently appears on page 2, and more often than not a single video is displayed rather than the channel itself.
If you search for Moz, there video's appear on page 1.
I've added a rich schema link on the site to the YouTube channel, but could I ask what else I can do, either on the site or on YouTube to create a stronger connection between our brand name and our YouTube channel?
Many Thanks In Advance For Your Assistance

Hi Nicolas
Thank you for the response, I've added the link and schema, but point 2 in your notes is something that we can action
Thanks again for your help

Make sure the YouTube channel is linked to along with your website's "social links" in your footer or header, and also add the YouTube channel link in the "sameAs" section of your website's Schema code.
If you have already done both of these I would work on the following-
1. Optimizing the YouTube channel as much as possible with a long description, and as many details as they will let you fill out to make it as robust as possible.
2. If it is possible and you have a business address, work on online business directory citations. They often will let you add social links on your profile and I would be sure to add the YouTube channel link on as many as possible, over time these external links pointing to your YouTube channel page will help its authority and ranking relevance for your brand.

How can you bulk search by email for social networks?
Hello Everyone! We're trying to launch a Social Media campaign for our website and in order to reach more people and follow/invite them to our social profiles we thought of finding them by their email addresses (i read a post somewhere - maybe seomoz, maybe not can't remember). Can anyone suggest a tool or best way of researching ~20.000 email addresses to find out / filter what social networks have this email registered? Much appreciated! Alex

YouTube Views?
Does anyone have any guesses on how YouTube views are counted? Are views unique or can a single individual view a clip multiple times? I have also heard rumor say that AUTOPLAY views from your profile page do not count.

How do I get searchable image hosting in the cloud?
My company currently uses Picasa to host our images and links to them on our website. However, we'd really love to have our images start showing up in searches. Is there a way to get maintain our Picasa (or use another, similar site) and get the images searched by webcrawlers to say we are the source? Or do we simply need to start hosting all of the images on our own servers? Thanks!
