While YouTube only scratched the service of online video’s potential with free public storage for amateur video publishers, the real action and potential is in the commercial industry. No doubt. And the real challenge regarding online video is creating video content that is both effective and high quality.

No doubt about it, businesses of every shape and size are going to capitalize on online video, the biggest marketing opportunity since the Internet.

Marketing

Now that videos are appearing in search engines, search marketers are putting their toe in the water and learning how to do videos right, and videos that were once just viral marketing are now going to garner high volumes of visibility, not only from being viral, but also from Google’s search results pages. In fact, there is an entirely new niche evolving within search engine marketing called Video Optimization which specifically tries to get videos higher in search engines. What it means any business out there: videos are going to become more and more accessible to those not actively seeking out videos via sites such as YouTube.
