youtube vs soundcloud vs mixcloud

What are the pros and cons of these?

I suppose with soundcloud you can collect statistics and stuff and have your own micro site and have several tracks which people can listen to after they listen to the initial one they came for.

But with youtube you potentially get to more people.

I personally use youtube and soundcloud. Also good to have a webpage to link to from each of these. More ways for people to reach you = more opportunity.

I use both Youtube and Soundcloud for my music. I would say that soundcloud is a more underground non-commercial platform for music and youtube is better for providing the track with a picture or video as well as it's more commercial and people might find it easier. The key for people to see your tracks is tagging. Come up with as many tags as you can for your tracks and eventually you will see result. There are times where I used "huge boobs" as a tag, and it works, really..
I'm 18 years old and I produce Progressive house.

Good idea - I actually have huge moobs so it would work really well for me.
