# Top 10 Video Search Engines

![](https://web.archive.org/web/20110719000810im_/http://farm1.static.flickr.com/199/482429552_eb2ed14dbc_m.jpg)This week is Online Video Week at R/WW, so our network blog AltSearchEngines went out and found [the leading video search engines on the Web](https://web.archive.org/web/20110719000810/http://altsearchengines.com/2007/08/20/the-top-10-alternative-video-search-engines/). Following is the list that ASE editor Charles Knight came up with – he used [Google Video](https://web.archive.org/web/20110719000810/http://video.google.com/) as the benchmark. What is your favorite video search engine? Let us know in the comments.

Also over on AltSearchEngines there is a [Great Debate on Video Search](https://web.archive.org/web/20110719000810/http://altsearchengines.com/2007/08/22/video-search-another-great-debate/). It features Mary Hodder of Dabble and Gary Baker from ClipBlast!. My favorite bit was when Charles asked:

> “What would be your unique goal for the next two years (2010)? Increased market share? #1 in your Vertical? Powering the video for other search engines? Acquiring or being acquired? Some combination of these?”

Gary from ClipBlast!’s answer: “Yes to all.”

Nothing like having your cake and eating it too. But seriously, both startups also expressed interest in partnering with others – which is a feature of the Web in its [Digestion Phase](https://web.archive.org/web/20110719000810/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_digestion_phase_how_we_got.php). Indeed Mary said that “Dabble’s DNA is about partnering (we have 170+ partnerships)”.

Here then is Charle’s top 10 Video Search engines:
