Where should Youtube videos come from?

[lwnickens]

Is there a benefit to having Youtube videos on your site from other company's Youtube channels or should they come from your own Youtube channel because you can control links and tags?

You can build links via the youtube channel if the video gets alot of link backs to it you can develop a PR5 page.

that been said it is not easy, but you can work alot of link building strategy via YouTube.

Even though description links are no followed, heaps of people scrape youtube and you can build follows that way and also you can drive heaps of traffic via youtube descriptions if made correctly.

James,

Maybe we didn't state the issue clearly. What we wanted to know was "should videos posted on our regular web site come from our youtube channel exclusively or from both ours and a partner's channel? Is there some benefit to having videos from multiple channels or from just ours?

Thanks for your help,

Lowell
