Best way to implement a "Latest Videos" list on partner sites

[Steve327]

Greeting SEOmoz community!

I have been using SEOmoz but haven't posted on the Q&A forum yet. I have talked to everyone I know and done random research but I still can't figure out the best solution.

My company is launching a poker school for Brazilians that focuses on providing free poker training videos to members. One of our main types of training video series will be "Tips from the Pros". These videos will be created by some big name BR poker pros and will be 3-10 minutes in length each. Also, the videos will likelybe hosted on VidYard (they don't have any features to solve my problem).

I recently hired a BR marketing manager who has connections with many potential partner and affiliate websites (bloggers, small forums, news sites, etc). We decided it would be great if we could post a list of our "Latest Tips from the Pros" on all of our partner sites.

The main goals of this embedded list are:

1. Drive traffic from the partner site to my site (their visitors ideally click on a link to watch the video on my site)

2. Build a valuable link with anchor text equal to each of the video titles listed on our partner sites (this is where I run into trouble)

3. Minimize effort required from partner sites to maintain an updated list of our videos.

4. Minimize my team's effort required to maintain an updated list of our videos on partner sites

So my questions is.. With the goals above in mind... What technology/tool/service would you recommend we use to embed these videos?

Some of the suggestions I've had from friends are: RSS feds, embed Twitter/Facebook feeds, iFrame, custom javascript code

Any advice helping me figure out the best way to go would be very much appreciated.. Even if it's just a link to an article or someone else that has solved this problem.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Steve

I think RSS feeds or iFrames would be the easiest to implement for your sites, if your main goal is driving traffic from site to site. They are pretty easy to implement and maintain.

Hey Steve,

I agree with Erica - iFrames or RSS are probably the best way to go. If you just build a simple but nice looking embed code which automatically pulls in links to new videos into an accesible list, I think you'll be doing well. Also make sure you include some sort of branded anchor text link to the homepage at the bottom of the embed for each site - Just to maximise on the linking opportunities and overall brand visibility.
