Uploading Your Videos To AOL Video
I just wanted to talk about a video upload site that you should be using if the videos you make are about popular mainstream topics - AOL Video. Now we all know about Youtube, and everyone who makes videos should probably be using it, but AOL Video is no slouch. As one of the ten most popular online video sites, AOL videos can get a lot of traffic. I’ve actually had videos on AOL video get 5 times more views than the same video on youtube, so this is one place that I like to upload my videos to.
Here are a few more benefits to AOL video as well. AOL promotes their site via TV, which helps drive mainstream traffic to the site, and they also have a lot of professional videos, like music videos and television programs which helps attract a bigger audience.
nd uploading videos to AOL is usually really fast since the VideoEgg program they use for uploading compresses the videos on your computer before uploading, so the file you’re actually uploading is quite small.
Now if you’re videos are mostly geared towards business or marketers, you probably won’t get a lot of traffic, but if you make funny videos or videos about items in the news, then you can get a lot of traffic using AOL Video.
So that’s AOL video in a nutshell, give it a try.
