@irvingw can you elaborate on "standard on page optimization"? I familar with best practices for keywords, page titles, meta descriptions, and images, but not for videos.
Thanks

The fact that you chose to host them was the right SEO move - you need to do standard on page optimization and submit video sitemap XML file(s) to Google in Webmaster Tools...

The videos are hosted on the site. I'm talking about tagging the video titles. Also, if you know anything about snippets, that would be great.

Mark, are you hosting the vids on your site, or are you referring to tagging on sites like YouTube,/Vimeo, etc?

Where To Add New Content In Site URL?
I'm planning to add a new section to the website that will increase visitor traffic and social sharing by using regularly updated video content. I'm thinking of adding the videos to YouTube and Vimeo as their own channels and then host those videos on the site aswell using a cloud storage solution. Is this a good overall strategy? Where would I add it in the URL so it generates the most SEO benefit for the whole website? www.mysite.com/new-section www.new-section.mysite.com

Are multiple embeds of the same video considered content duplication?
We are considering using Wistia to host our “new” video content on our website. Currently we use YouTube and find many people watch our technical videos (Eg. Fitting videos have10k + views, which is very high for our niche industry) We currently have “the same” YouTube videos embedded on several different blog posts on our website, as the video is still relevant to what the post talks about Question: Since Wistia updates our video Robot.Txt file, would multiple embeds of the “same video” be seen as content duplication on google & “be harmful” as a result? Thanks

Hello MOZ Helpers.. Sometimes video results pop up in Uiversal search..for example for "recycle paint" my video for recycle paint residing on my website shows up on a Universal SERP SEE IMAGE 1..This happens even when I use an ip mask or change local..the confusing part is why my personal version trumps my youtube version SEE IMAGE 2.
