Recently an articule came out on ReelSEO weighing in on which social media platform is better for your SEO needs, YouTube or Facebook. Each has it’s nitch and important factors that make very important, but which is better? Should we consider using one over the other? Well is is true that YouTube is the popular site to upload and search for video online, easier to share and will automatically update your subcribers when new video has been updated; Facebook on the other hand should not be counted out. Videos have been known to go viral at a faster rate and you have the benefit to posting videos on your friends walls which is a great plus.
So which one is better? I think that both YouTube and Facebook walk hand in hand when it comes to being on the forefront of Social Media and SEO. In fact I use both at work by uploading to YouTube then linking the video to our client’s Facebook page. This way, you get the best of both worlds. When it comes to SEO, the more link a video has the better, so use both to your advantage.
