Is Video Sharing sites is still useful for SERP ?

[chandubaba]

Well I am not talking about the audience views, i am asking whether it is good for submitting videos to multiple video sites for backlinks and any sharp movements for the keywords. I seen most of the sites are nofollow which is not useful but for the link diversification is that something good ?

Hi Chandu,

There's not much value in these for links. The primary value of video networks (assuming you mean networks like YouTube and Vimeo) is the ability to get your video in front of a wider network of people.

You could make that argument that nofollow link diversity has some value, but it would be very low on my list of priorities.

youll have a hard time getting a substantial number of video sites to make it "work"

If you see the low quality ones, you either cant get a link or it will just go down within the year due to bandwidth spam problems.

If it's good ones, you usually cant submit your niche due to strict rules.

Just consider it as part of your overall SEO. Dont just rely on it. The referral traffic you get, the link you get (for variation and trust) and other benefits will always be good for long term seo related ROI. If you do seo on the video page you'll get traffic in the long run and if you put it on your site (self hosted) you can also rank that hence taking another spot.
