As Google Video Shuts Down, Switch Over to YouTube
Google has decided to shut down its online video operation to concentrate its efforts on YouTube, which it acquired in 2006. Google notified its users that permanent closure will be on April 20, 2011. This may come as a surprise to many of you who have videos uploaded on Google Videos, but don't be worried. You can receive help with this transition online. Video production companies in Virginia are also assisting local firms with the mass transition to YouTube.
If you have never created a YouTube account, there's nothing to worry about. All Google account holders have a reserved spot on YouTube with their existing Google account names. Another great benefit to YouTube is that it is the second largest search engine (behind Google), and also Google searchers will receive YouTube video results along with traditional text based results - so your videos transferred to YouTube will not suffer when it comes to search rankings.
This transition should be welcomed with open arms as Google is now free to pour its resources into one video service. YouTube accounts for approximately 2 billion views per day; it's no slouch when it comes to viewership.
To end this transition on an even more positive note, there are reports that Google is planning on investing about $100 million for original content for YouTube. They are going into a large scale operation to keep YouTube ahead of the pack. This could mean even more viewers, which is great news for YouTube marketers.
