I am thinking about creating a series of videos for a new site I have just created. This is really new - no content at all yet!
While I was mulling over everything in my head about how I am going to do this I started wondering about the backlinks situation and how this now works with regards to You Tube and all these questions kept popping into my head!.
If I create a video and put it on You Tube this would show a link to my website. Should I then also embed this into my website?
If I embed it into my website will this then show as a link back to You Tube and then be classed as a reciprocal link and then do more harm than good?
What about follow up videos should they be on You Tube too or is it alright to just have them on my website?
Ideally the videos would all be on my website but I know that You Tube video links give good weight but I don't want to undo that by making a stupid mistake.
If this was going to cause problems then I thought perhaps I could put an introduction video on You Tube which could be covered by text in a blog post on my website and then just run the series on my website?
I'm sure someone out there does this sort of thing all the time and could point me in the right direction. If you could I would be very grateful :)
