WBF Videos and transcripts

[Bryan_Loconto]

I noticed that Moz doesn't use Youtube for WBF videos. Is there a reason for this?

Is it better to host your own videos rather than pulling them from another source such as Youtube?

It depends entirely on your goals.  This mother of a post is kind of the holy grail for video embedding: http://moz.com/blog/hosting-and-embedding-for-video-seo

Hey Bryan!

Oren is right! We host with Wistia, because we can still tackle Google video results without diverting our traffic back to YouTube. We like to keep folks on our site. Also, Wistia's embed is fully customizable, so it looks like with any design we push out.
