Video Marketing - Who will host them

[jacreyes]

Hey guys,

I'd like to get going with video marketing and our product best matched with video.

I have these things that I am not sure on what direction to take...

1. We have youtube, vimeo and our website.

*What goes to what? Or vimeo embedded in website and youtube as is?

*A video transcription should be done in the website to help search engines right?

*Isnt it duplicate if its in youtube and another one embedded in the site from vimeo?

Your thoughts and rationale will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Jac
