YouTube is nothing less than an online video phenomenon and if you aren’t already using it as a tool to promote yourself or your online content, you should really give it some thought.

Having already served up over 1.73 billion video views and 45 terabytes of video footage to the world, YouTube is everyone’s first port of call when they want to search for online video.

While it might not be the best featured or even best quality service for video producers, it is by a long shot the most popular. If you are a blogger, marketer, film maker or any other kind of online publisher or entrepreneur, you stand to gain a lot by getting some exposure on YouTube. Especially if you leverage YouTube Wordpress plugins.

But how do you get your content noticed, when there are 6.1 million videos for your audience to choose from? Certainly, there is no replacement for making or aggregating great content, but there are several ways that you can make your presence felt, and drive traffic back to your own website.

There are tricks to getting the best out of YouTube from a marketing perspective and there are an assortment of YouTube strategies and features that you can use to raise your profile, whether you create your own videos, or act as a video NewsMaster, selecting and grouping other people’s video for your niche-audience.

Did you know that there’s an easy way to keep that updated automatically?

On any server that supports PHP, so if you simply drop this code wherever you want, (for example, into your WordPress themes footer.php file) then you’ll automatically have a current copyright date on every page.

©
<?php
echo date("Y");
?>

The first line is the © copyright symbol, and what’s inside the brackets generates the date. You can of course add anything to this that you wish, like All Rights Reserved, your company name, your domain, or even links to this site.

What if your server doesn’t support PHP, or for some reason this doesn’t work?

Here’s a pretty cool tool that gives you even more flexibility, and although it uses JavaScript, it’s still better than an outdated page. It’s better for your users as well as the search engines to see that you’re keeping your website up to date.

1. Google Now Supports Cross-Domain ‘Canonical Tag’

It’s important to ensure you’re going after directories with a high pagerank so that the link back counts towards your rank significantly. Here is a top list of article directories that are search engine friendly for your SEO campaign that will hopefully get you on the right track to success.

1. EzineArticles
2. GoArticles
3. Constant Content
4. Article City
5. Buzzle
6. Isnare
7. Amazines
8. Article Alley
9. Articlism
10. Article Central

So there you have it. Get writing and make sure not to spam the article directories. Be careful that you’ve read their posting guidelines clearly and that you’re including your link(s) below the fold so you don’t lessen the quality of their article directories.

Please note that it takes time for your article directory posting to kick in. It may be a few weeks to several months before you see the results of your article writing and posting to the various search engine friendly article directories. Stick with it and it will pay off in the long run for you with search engine rankings that don’t disappear overnight.

When the “canonical” tag was introduced by all three search engines during the SMX West Conference in February earlier this year, they only supported its use inside a single domain. You could use the tag to indicate that yourdomain.com/page1.html was the canonical version of yourdomain.com/page2.html, and avoid duplicate content issues by doing so. As it is now, if you have a legitimate reason to have similar content on separate domains, Google will recognize your use of the rel=”canonical” link element.

Google has updated its webmaster help page to indicate how it supports the tag:

Can rel=”canonical” be used to suggest a canonical url on a completely different domain?

There are situations where it’s not easily possible to set up redirects. This could be the case when you need to migrate to a new domain name using a web server that cannot create server-side redirects. In this case, you can use the rel=”canonical” link element to specify the exact URL of the domain preferred for indexing. While the rel=”canonical” link element is seen as a hint and not an absolute directive, we do try to follow it where possible.

Google also has some additional Q&A posted on the blog announcement, so be sure to read that if you need more information on how this works or how it may positively or negatively impact your blog or website.

It appears that Yahoo and Bing have not yet announced cross-domain support for the rel=”canonical” link element, however, we expect this to change soon in the interest of healthy competition.
