Optimizing your video information will help users find your video. Here are some tips on how to optimize your video information:
- Add a descriptive title to your video.
When users search for a topic on Google Video, they will find your content easier if you include the subject of your video in your title. For example, a video title such as "SS-59 submarine" may work better for a video than simply including "submarine." - Provide a clear description of your video.
We recommend that your "metadata" field clearly describes the content of your video, while also highlighting any characteristics that distinguish your content from your competition. The metadata you enter will appear above your video when users play it on Google Video. If your metadata attracts users' attention they will more likely watch the entire video, and visit your website.
Here's an example of good metadata:
"This is a four minute news feature on the nuclear threat and the significance of the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior by French agents in 1985. It features interviews with former New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange, Guardian journalist Paul Brown, and Greenpeace Executive Director Gerd Leipold." - Provide a URL for your website.
The link to your website will appear on the right hand side of your video under the "Website" header. If you provide a URL for your website, users interested in your video can visit your site for more information, or purchase your video.
