Video Websites that offer a Clickable Linkback

If videos are not an important part of your business model it should be.

I prefer to only post on video websites that offer a clickable linkback in the description area.

Why?

1. It gives my website more search engine juice since a high traffic site is linking to my website.

2. By having a "clickable" link I can track the effectiveness of my videos in persuading people to find out more by clicking the link going to my website.

My tactic, especially with Youtube, is to start at the very beginning by writing a short blurb in the description box such as:

Read more: http://www.givejonadollar.com

Then you can write a description underneath the "Read More" and your website link.

The reasoning behind this is that the description box on youtube is annotated and you can only see the first couple of lines of the first paragraph. By putting the "Read More" and your link first........you will ensure yourself more clickthroughs.

Here are the video websites I know of that offer you the ability
to place a "clickable" link in the video description box.

1. Youtube

The biggest and the best. Use my tactic above when posting on Youtube.

2. Facebook

I don't think near as many people use the Facebook video feature as they do on Youtube, but if you have a lot of friends, it's a good way to help take things viral fast and get some search engine juice at the same time for the quality link.

3. Dailymotion

The traffic is not as great as Youtube, but it is still pretty good.

4. Vimeo

Still a notch above the 2 above, but still a good option.

*THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING LIST*
And I need your help!

Sadly, I don't know of many video websites that offer a "clickable" linkback in the video description area.

Even more frustrating is the fact that when I do Google Searches on this subject I come up with very little.

If those of you who are reading this out there could help me build a comprehensive list here for website owners like yourself and me that are looking for more resources on this subject.....I would be eternally grateful.

You can leave your findings, and a link back to your website, in the comments box below.
