Video Content, created for links back to our domain landing page.. the right way to do it?

[xoffie]

Hi

We've just finished a great bit of video content for a page we're trying to push up the serps. I've done some reading around but there are lots of conflicting views.

We have created this content (its a city guide) for the purpose of becoming the resource on this topic but we are a new site and we need the links we hope to generate from this, we don't want the links to youtube.

Where would you upload the video? Everywhere? One place? Vimeo?

Thanks

You can look at Vimeo and Viddler. A suggestion is that you read this excellent post from Phil Nottingham here on SEO moz. He is with Distilled and I have gained some significant knowledge from his post and answers. Here is the link.

Hope it helps.

That article is great.  I would emphasize the video sitemap and adding rich snippets.

If the videos are a great resource then you probably won't have much trouble getting links.  Just do a search for your local area "blog:city name" is a good place to start.
