The reason being you will get the video playing but then the user / visitor will leave your site in favor of you tube ( there is no way a developer can avoid that fact ). Youtube revenue is built that way. The only way to avoid that is to recreate the video for your site, minding the bitrate, the video encoding and doing the work that youtube does when it comes from their site - the on the fly decoding it does for various devices and browses. You must do the work for your own site. Keep the you tube video on youtube with a reference to your own site - that is good for seo. But the best way to create your own page rank is the text you write for your site. No way around it - sorry! you should not i repeat not put your video as an embed on your site.

Moreover, I also believe click through rate is a factor too, hence the addition to Google Webmaster Tools I definitely share your view that time onsite is becoming a factor – Google does measure how long it takes before you return to the SERPs.

The biggest factor is content. The more the search engines have to read the better. Yes I would agree with what you have to say. The biggest factor is content.

Youtube videos can really help. On first thinking about, you would not think it. My first hand experience is that rankings can be profoundly affected in a positive way.
