Grant Crowell - The founder of the highly respected Grantastic Designs, recently wrote an informative article on the the pros and cons of using YouTube embeds on your company website. One of the most compelling points he makes is that while YouTube may have lots excellent benefits - it lacks several important requirements for the professional online marketer - in particular:

YouTube videos from your own channel that appear in Google’s search results will not take people directly to your own Website.'
