Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

I appreciate the thoughtful answer.

It's not to get long-tail traffic.  We create an ad commercial and then tag it (logo, contact info, but the core being the same) for each dealer/franchise location and then they want it posted on YouTube, either in their own channel or the headquarters one.  We have dup video all over the place because of this and I am trying to reign it in and create a good solution.

I figure most of this duplicated video will get rejected at some point, but was hoping that the Map Location feature on YT would help.  If I have 100 of the same commercial tagged for the local dealer and located in different markets, it's logical that this could work.

Your third paragraph seems the best solution -- host an untagged version on YT and embed on dealers sites with relevant contact info.

Thanks again,
Richard

For a franchise network, what's the best method for posting the same video that is tagged with different phone numbers and address per each location on YouTube?  Will this get removed as duplicate content eventually?  Or if I use the geo-tagging feature, will this help?
