Video Syndication in 2016

[abisti2]

This doesn't seem to have been discussed here for a number of years, so I'm wondering what people think of video syndication in 2016?

Is it a good idea for website SEO (backlinks in accompanying text)? Or for raising general web presence? Or generally pushing the video itself up the SERPS?

Or is it better to concentrate everything on Youtube?

I'm looking to raise a website profile that produces 4-5 videos a week presently but is only getting an average of 500-1000 views in each video.

More from a time factor than anything else, I would be spending my efforts on pushing videos on YouTube. Google tends to rank these well - I wonder why!

There are a lot asked this question over the last couple of years and I tend to offer the same advise - YouTube.

Others might have some different views and insights though.

Thanks Andy - I was thinking about using video syndication software to solve the time issue, but I can certainly see your logic with Youtube / Google
