Marketing with VideoOn December 17, 2008 – Permission TV released its survey findings on online video initiatives for 2009. 2 out of 3 respondents listed online video as a primary focus of their 2009 digital marketing campaigns – higher than every other category, including social media and search.   A ReelSEO blog post summarizes it clearly.  It's too bad they overlooked video SEO in the survey.  Unfortunately, designers seem to overlook the importance of SEO.  It doesn't matter how great the video or your website looks if no one can find it or it doesn't promote your business correctly.
