Video Annotations are text commentary that you add to your videos. You can use them to add background information, link to related videos, create an interactive element, or add call-to-action to your videos.
Strictly speaking, Annotations are NOT a direct SEO strategy – the words that you add to your video are not indexed by the search engines. However, viewer engagement or interactions are measured by the search engines, and Annotations can be used to increase those interactions.

Brent Carnduff: I have totally missed this feature. I have to go back and read your first part too. When do you think that annotations will be indexed by the search engines?

Thanks Brent. This is an element I'm sure many video creators, myself include, totally forget about...though I'd agree they're important elements for many of the reasons you describe. Thanks to DJ for sharing this post on the BizSugar community!
