Google Video Closes, Long Live YouTube

Blog by S. English

I’m not sure why anyone is surprised by the news that Google Video is closing and perhaps not everyone is surprised. Google acquired YouTube several years ago and there really was no need to have both.

Google has done an amazing job making YouTube such a success and a money maker. Putting all efforts into the positive cash flow of YouTube is a wise choice. And though we are always sad to see any of our platforms close we are very interested to see if our YouTube numbers will rise and what will happen to the SEO of our videos with this change.
