An easier and quicker way to spread your video around to several sites is by submitting it to a video aggregator. What this means is that you upload your video once and it is distributed by them without your having to do more than check off the destination sites.

TubeMogul is an example of this service.

Depending on how many other people have videos and websites with your topic you may be listed in search results where no one will see it. Not many people search beyond the second page of search engine results. About 42% of searchers click on position one, and fewer than 5% look at the second page of results.
In order to have people find your video you need to get to page one, and the commonly believed way to do that is to get “votes” for your content. These votes of popularity are links from other web sites. This can take some time to happen naturally but there are some tips to help get you started up the list.
