URL's for videos to increase page value and social sharing value

[eric_since1910.com]

Hello Everyone,

We recently developed videos for all of our products.  Upon clicking on each video, we have the video popping up in a lightbox.  The videos are hosted on Amazon s3.

We would like to implement social sharing for each video and to do so, we are going to have the video load on each page upon being clicked using jquery.  My question is how we should structure the urls so that the actual product page gets the share value.

So for example, if the page is

www.website.com/product1.aspx

should we have the video be www.website.com/product1.aspx#video

and ensure there is a canonical url on each product page so that the benefit is given to www.website.com/product1.aspx

Or is there another way that anyone would recommend doing this?

The videos are AMAZING and I'd like to ensure that as these videos are shared on social networks, that the value of the share is directed to the actual product page.

Any ideas mozzers?

Thanks!

hmm this is only going to take you to the section of the page where the video is located www.website.com/product1.aspx#video not the actual video itself since it is opening in a lightbox.

if these videos are amazing you should host them yourself and put them on a separate URL for maximum SEO benefit and try to get them ranked, and have a video thumbnail show up on the SERPS

Hosting externally and opening in a lightbox won't bring any SEO value.
