Rank better on where? If you are referring to search engines, then it is hard to tell. If it was Google, then I would place my bets on YouTube since YouTube is owned by Google so they will probably rank better. On other search engines, I would also say YouTube since YouTube seems to be more reputable and popular than Daily Motion.

If you are referring to videos ranking better on Daily Motion than Youtube for specific keywords, then that is not surprising since YouTube is more popular so it is harder to rank on it due to all the competition.

I've always had my youtube videos rank higher after I do a basic SEO campaign to the URL where my video is.

I'm not saying that dailymotion can't rank higher, I've just had better experience with youtube.

I do get both ranked because I'll run similar campaigns on the video I posted to both youtube and dailymotion

I'll upload the video to both platforms but I'll have slightly different titles and descriptions on each one. Actually wherever I upload a video I'll tweak the titles and descriptions so there's a good chance I'll be able to get all the videos ranked for the same keywords

The best thing about this is that you can't really get penalized for the SEO and backlinks you're building towards the video since it's on a 3rd party platform. And even if you see a drop in your rankings after posting your videos and building links, you can always take down the video or remove your links and that will fix everything

And then you can upload it again under a different title and description lmao

I do love youtube for rankings but there are so many other types of video platforms out there that you should target as well.

A few other websites you can upload to and get your video ranked:

Vimeo.com
LiveLeak.com
Veoh.com
Break.com

The videos above range from personal videos to tv shows that people can upload. Be sure to do your research before uploading because you could just be wasting your time because your video may get rejected due to what you're trying to do. You won't have a high success rate of getting a home video on a website that wants to post tv shows, and vice versa ;)

Well this is the first time I have even heard of Daily Motion... maybe I have been living under a rock lol.

So in my opinion I would say Youtube is better. It is certainly bigger than any other site for video. I have been ranking beautifully on Youtube (and often Google too) and I have only started this year with Youtube. Ranking is not rocket science and if I can do it so can you.

There is no doubt that YouTube is more well known, however DailyMotion is regarded as offering higher quality videos and it is gaining in popularity as well. Even though you should not avoid using DailyMotion, I would recommend sticking with YouTube because at the end of the day it should help you rank better since;

It has a stronger link profile.
Many feel that Google skews search results in favor of YouTube.
Most audiences are going to use YouTube no matter what.
If you try to see their respective viewership there is no denying that YouTube outranks DailyMotion drastically.

This is the first time I’ve heard of Daily Motion and my understanding is that it is another depository of videos like Youtube or Vimeo. With the ranking of videos on Youtube and Daily Motion I guess it is Youtube that is supreme because it is a bigger site and search engines will surely give it a priority when there is a search of videos. Only when the searched video is not present in Youtube that the search will proceed to Daily Motion.
