Getting Traffic with YouTube
Now owned by Google, YouTube.com has grown to become one of the most popular sites on the internet and it lets YOU add the content. Which is nothing new in terms of concept, users have always submitted content but the way in which your content is exposed and can be mass exposed to millions in such a professional style, is amazing. Any webmaster not taking advantage of it is nuts! So assuming you have at least one established or ready made website, you’ll need to make videos relating to that, to upload, to get traffic.
Say for example you own a game strategy site, the perfect thing here to do would be to record videos of yourself talking through certain games and techniques or reviews of the newest releases. Then just slap a link in your video, you can either put one at the end of the video on a separate cut, or put a watermark link over your video using something like Sony Vegas. Also, put a link in your description as viewers will sometimes click that as well. Having alot of quality YouTube videos and building up a good account with alot of views NOW will be immensely advantageous in your rankings now that Google have started implementing videos / images / news into the main search with their ‘Universal Search’. You can get straight in the top 10 results even top few with a relating video, doesn’t need to have millions of views, even a few hundred! as long as the title and keywords in the video let Google know.
I know this seems blatantly obvious and lots of people of course do it, it’s nothing new, but I don’t think enough webmasters fully take advantage of huge social networking sites to market their stuff. The formula is simple. Traffic = Money. And YouTube can be the king of traffic boosting if you fully commit yourself to it.
Whether your videos be funny, informal, helpful or whatever, just make sure they’re quality and you’ll soon see subscribers to your channel rolling in.
I also use Youtube but getting traffic from it can be difficult and time consuming.
