I have a static homepage for my website that is ranking good, but now I want to add an intro video to really wow my customers. I was thinking of using utube or flowplayer. Anyways if I throw in a video at the top of my page is this going to affect my rankings in any way? Is there any special considerations with on page seo for adding videos. Any help would be much appreciated as I have never worked with vids before!

    It never hurt any site I put video on. However, I let youtube host all my clips and just embed the video on my page.

    YouTube is better because you get the benefit of incoming YouTube visitors too. This is another SEO trick, put videos on YouTube and create visitors base as well as backlinks.
