YouTube Clips Ranking High on Google Results
This morning I googled (verb) “Keith Olbermann“. It’s a morning ritual of mine. On the second page of results, I noticed a few links to YouTube clips featuring…you guessed it; Keith Olbmermann!
This makes perfect sense. As YouTube continues to gain popularity, they will begin ranking higher and higher within Google search results.
This is simply what we can call search 2.0. I’ll explain. A similar thing occurred with Wikipedia. At first, Wiki was a plain old site. However, thanks to its relevancy, now wiki entries rank VERY high on google.
Then there is today. Internet video has become super hot. Traffic is soaring on YouTube. More and more sites/blogs are LINKING to YouTube clips.
The result? Web video (youtube etc) beginning to rank high on google search results.
And the fact that Google now OWNS YouTube, will only help things even MORE in the long run
