Best venue for webisode distribution?

[chris f]

On Feb. 1 I'll be releasing a 5-7 episode reality/documentary series and am ironing out my distribution strategy. The show will have it's own dedicated website, but I can't decide on where to host the videos to embed into the website. I'm not looking to make money off of the show, just looking for the most viewership in hopes of doing something bigger and better next time.

Do you have any recommendations? (The show is in SD, so I'm not worried about best quality HD capabilities).


YouTube? - Biggest audience, good Google juice, but advertises other stuff at end of vids
Blip.tv? - Not really familiar with
Vimeo? - Disqualified by business use clause?
Itunes?
All of the above?
None of the above?

Blip.tv has a great interface, great staff, and good reporting from my experience.
They can push out to YouTube (I believe) as well as Itunes.

I would seriously look at them as an option - we use Blip as our host for Project Rant and we've been nothing but happy with them.

There's also exposure room. I think you can use it for commercial purposes.
