Increase Your Website’s SEO Ranking with Videos:
Imagine more time spent on your site by visitors, more conversions, better search engine rankings, fewer opt-outs of your emails, and more brand awareness… these are the benefits of adding videos to your website. Recent studies have shown that 77% of internet users view an online video, and visitors will stay on a page with a video up to three times longer. This growing awareness, acceptance, and perhaps even an expectation of online video content by viewers make the video even more important to a company’s marketing now more than ever. Google SEO algorithms love videos! If you have videos on your website and the competition does not – you win!

Embedding vs. Self-Hosted Video
Keep in mind that self-hosted videos on your website will vary in quality across browsers. We always recommend that you do not embed your videos the way you would upload a photo or image to your site. Bandwidth and storage can make a major negative impact on quality. Slow loading or a freezing video turn off watching. Store the videos on YouTube or Vimeo instead. Once uploaded, then embed your video into your Joomla or WordPress post or page.
