Why RPGFanatic.net and other community blog sites are great for Youtube Video SEO

This is going to sound a little like tooting my own horn but the strategy behind RPGFanatic.net is insanely great for Youtube Partners who make gaming content, and I really want to tell you why.

As I've mentioned in previous blog posts, Google made a lot of changes to the Google Search algorithms that have altered the landscape. The "freshness" of a website is now heavily factored into what web pages are displayed on the front page of the search results; that is, the more often a website makes new pages, the more likely that site is going to be having articles be displayed on the front page of the search results.

This is why community oriented sites where users have the ability to add content are fantastic for SEOing. On RPGFanatic.net you can have tons of people writing blogs every day and editing the wiki database. Once the site really kicks off with a few hundred daily users it is going to have a very high Page Rank and search engines will favor content related to it. I've already managed to get one of my articles on the front page of a Google Search listing for a game, so I know it is possible to make this work.

Another thing is that you can plug your personal blogs, Youtube channels and Facebook Fan Pages inside your blog posts, creating a backlink from Rpgfanatic.net to your own content. This has the effect of increasing your site's visibility in search engines!

If you want to get your content seen, all you need to do is embed your roleplaying videogame videos into our database and then plug those articles on other websites, such as forums, Squidoo articles and your own personal blogs. Share them on Facebook, reddit and Twitter! This has the effect of not just driving traffic to your videos but it improves the ranking of your content in search engines.

You will also be introducing more people to RPGFanatic.net who might start adding content of their own, which increases the "freshness" value of the website in Google, boosting the Google Search rank of ALL content that exists on the website!

And note that while there are other websites which allow you to submit your content to them, most of them have mods who discourage you from submitting monetized videos and will ban you for "spamming" if you embed your entire library of gaming videos. RPGFanatic.net will never ban users for adding legitimate content to our servers; we want you to be able to earn revenue from your game reviews, let's plays and walkthroughs!

We realize the more successful our users are, the more successful we will be.
