Michael Wyszomierski announced at the Google Webmaster Central blog that they are looking for the SEO and Webmaster community to create videos that they can share in the Google Webmaster YouTube channel. You have seen many of the videos from Matt Cutts in this channel, and now they want to allow the community to share their videos in this channel.

How does it work?

  • Make a video, upload it to YouTube
  • Then go to the Google Webmaster Help Center, and submit your vid via the Help Center gadget on the bottom right.
  • Keep the video short; 3-5 minutes is ideal. Think small: a short video is a good way to showcase your use of – for example – Top Search Queries, but not long enough to highlight your whole SEO strategy.
  • Focus on a real-life example of how you used a particular feature. For example, you could show how you used link data to research your brand, or crawl errors to diagnose problems with your site structure. Do you have a great tip or recommendation?
  • Upload your video before September 30.
  • The full guidelines can also be read for more details

Here is Wysz explaining this on, guess what, YouTube:
