Let them stagnate in the non-commercial world. Although i am not using vimeo, but i support your post that its a huge shock for those who are using it previously. SEOs should be wise enough to choose a good site for their business.

I see your point BUT…..my last company that I worked for was a video production company, Vimeo is the “creative community” defacto video repository…much like YouTube is for the rest of the non-creative world. For whatever reason the “creative” community embraces it. For me the marketer, I have to post videos in multiple areas to cater to both the creative and non-creative viewers. Hosted solutions work out best but they lose the promotional touch that both of these places offer. I stick to YouTube now until a better solution comes along…Its all about catering to your targeted customer base right?

I’ve had my channel taken down because my video SEO tutorials were considered to be commercial.

I just got a vblog commercial WordPress theme with Vimeo all over it. The theme had lots of demo videos from Vimeo. I was thinking of going with vimeo. Luckily, I haven’t posted any videos or posts yet. Looks like I will have to use AS3.

thanks for the heads up!

Yes, my videos got booted too.

I’m a real estate agent and they stated that property videos were of “commercial intent”… well, uh, yeah, obviously… but how are videos with a baby dancing or bloopers more valuable?

Ugh!

You think SEOmoz is a charity?

They have actually now switched to a custom player

I think the way that companies such as SEOMoz are using it in the WB Friday videos is okay because they’re not earning any money from this. let the Vimeo stagnate in a non-commercial world…It looks like a hit or miss thing with them.

I have had many problems with Vimeo especially when it comes to posting videos. I think it’s pretty much if the face fits so to speak. Having said that, I’ve come across this type of discrimination across many sites where there commercial rules are often violated but don’t seem to do anything, that is until I try posting similar then all hell breaks loose, even to the point of getting banned. One site in particular was scribd.

I’ve moved all vids to youtube for now…

I find Vimeo quite slow, slows down my browser on ubuntu and the videos and actually never load. Why use it for marketing anyway when it does not even work properly for everyone?
