Video Thumbnail Services – You Choose Your Thumbnail An important part of your video's strength online is represented in the Video Thumbnail attached to your video. This Video Thumbnail Service is a common starting point for many of our clients. Video Sites We Support for Video Thumbnail Services Currently the list of video hosting sites we offer Thumbnail Services for is as follows: Yahoo! Video, MotionBox(AOL) & and MySpace. This list of video hosting sites will continue to grow as demand requires, so contact us with your suggestions of other sites to research and include if possible in this valuable service to the Online Video Community. The sites we have chosen are the ones that get copied by other guys a lot, so you should see your results all over the web (except for YouTube!). The list of supported sites was bigger a little while ago, but the sneaky guys have changed the formula on us, so we yanked them from the list for now, if we can get 100% accurate again, the other sites will be back!

You must also fill out the PDF video submission form we will send you which will contain all your account information for the (you guessed it) supported video hosting sites. This will allow us to log into the various sites “as you” and upload your videos. On the same video submission form we will ask you to provide the Titles, Tags, and Description meta-text that should accompany each video submission. The first few times you work this option with us you will need to verify the meta text is entered properly once your videos become live. From then on you will have learned what sites accept what information and can better direct us with your meta text. Helpful TIP: You can take the video we return to you and upload it to additional video hosting sites and you may luck out and get the proper thumbnail, but we do not guarantee it except for the above supported video hosting sites. See our other Video SEO Services \| Return to Video Thumbnail Info \| Back to Top		If there is an additional Video Hosting Site you would like us to include in our Thumbnail Services (besides YouTube)... Please send us the site URL and we can do some research on your behalf to see if we will add it to our menu of sites we support for Thumbnail Generation. There are many different Video Hosting sites on the Internet in addition to YouTube. YouTube is the largest service currently on the Internet, however we Do NOT offer YouTube Thumbnail Positions as part of this service. More than 50% of the video market is represented by non-YouTube sites. The Thumbnail help we provide is good for sites like: MySpace, Yahoo Video, MotionBox (AOL), etc.

*Guarantee Details:
We guarantee that the thumbnail positions we pass on to you either through raw data (Minutes:Seconds:Frames) or as a modified video file will be accurate as of the date processed by us and produce the desired thumbnail results on the supported video hosting sites or your money-back for the portion of the data/thumbnail position that failed to produce the proper thumbnail image. We reserve the right to enhance and upload your video into our accounts (or another video with the exact same length) to verify thumbnail results before returning your money. Because of the complexities in uploading to multiple video hosting sites we do not guarantee the success for all the meta-text included with the tier 3 service (Complete Thumbnail Service), but we do guarantee the thumbnail results for all levels of Video Thumbnail Services offered.
