Videos impact on SEOmoz On Page Analysis

[XLAB]

For several years we've heard that Google rewards pages that include videos with significantly higher page ranks, however  I do not see video incorporated into the On Page Analysis.  One of our competitors ranks 1st-3rd on a several keywords while the On Page Analysis tool grades them as an F for the same keywords.  This competitor uses video more than any of the others, and has far more YouTube subscribers.  I suspect video plays a role in their excellent SERP.

Is there a video evaluation tool within SEOmoz?  If not, is one coming, or is there a reason why it would not be appropriate?

Does anyone have suggestions for incorporating the use of videos in SEO evaluations and recommendations?

Thank you,

Michael

Yeah I don't think SEOMoz has a video evaluation.

Some tips for adding video.. Host it yourself! and make it so people can embed it.. this will gain a link from the website. You can also make / submit a Video sitemap.

Hmmm...what's interesting is that many folks suggest hosting it on youtube since google is now indexing youtube videos on your site. This way you get the traffic spike from youtube search, and google indexing the video.

Here's a link to see all the videos google has indexed for my site.
