Yet, tube pages come up top on lots of good money searches. Happens because they use keyword rich titles and descriptions for the videos, plus morphing text feeds from themselves or sponsors that insert additional context-sensitive keywords. Lots of bottom-feeder sites link into these pages, increasing the SERPs for the tube.
I've actually seen the reverse happening with SERPs: the tubes are taking over a lot of the top positions, yet they're more graphics than text.
