Will becoming a YouTube partner get me higher rankings on the site?
-
One of the branded channels I run has been offered to be apart of YouTube's Partnership program. Trick is - I don't necessarily want to see ads pop up for my videos, as I imagine the revenue is fairly small.
I would be wiling to join the program if there is evidence that joining the program helps our rankings on YouTube. I imagine it may - as YouTube likely would give preference for partnered channels, partly due to ad/revenue opportunities for them, and partly because partners have obviously proven to have better content.
What do you guys recommend?
-
I'm not sure on that one, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't as you can do so in Adwords and that's where Youtube gets its ads.
-
One more question - Will I be able to limit the advertisements that appear on my account?
I'm somewhat concerned that competitive ads may appear on my videos.
Thank you for all your help so far.

Ya. Check out the details here: www.youtube.com/t/partnerships_benefits

What kind of data will it provide? My videos are already linking back to our site - and provide links to our main site in the description. So I see referral traffic, I'm aware of our views and ratings (as well as any random user would be).
Is there any specific demo data it would give?
Thanks for this answer btw

It'll give you more promotional options and data which in turn will get you more exposure. That alone could get you more views than Youtube rankings in the conventional sense.

How do you turn off ads on your YouTube videos?
How do you remove ads that pop up on your youtube videos? I have created several videos only to have my competitors ad be the first thing to show up on the videos. Curious how you turn that off.

Facebook Instant Articles - will it hurt SEO?
I am intrigued by Facebook IA and am thinking that putting some of my company articles on it would be beneficial for marketing. Question is, will it hurt SEO if I take an article that is on my website and also submit it to Facebook IA? Will it register as duplicate content in Google? Could it have other benefits/risks?

Hi guys, I need to create a subscribe end-off to my YouTube videos. I need something like this - https://www.youtube.com/user/SeattleCoffeeGear - where the red gear at the bottom pops up with a bright red "subscribe" CTA. How do I do this?

Will Facebook traffic hurt our SEO? Should we put our blog on the core domain or sub domain?
We are concerned that social traffic could hurt our SEO. What do you think... Our average time on site from organic search traffic is 7 minutes. Facebook traffic has an average time on site of 1 minute. Both traffic sources are going to different pages. If we generate 3 times as much traffic from Facebook as we do from google this will pull down our overall average time on site and engagement levels big time. Should we put our blog on the core domain or a subdomain? Right now we are holding back on promoting on facebook because we are concerned it could hurt our SEO, what do you think? Should we try to get as much traffic as possible from Facebook even though the engagement is much lower? Should we put our blog which is generating the low engagement traffic from facebook on the core domain or a subdomain?

Does the open site explorer crawler crawl FB?
That is to say, where there are links on public FB pages, such as those on my own company's public profile to my company's website---can the crawler detect these, or is it simply not bothering to crawl FB because so much is private? I don't see any links from FB in the crawl results, and don't believe I ever have, even for very large brands' domains.
