After Google, YouTube is now apparently the most used search engine in the world. YouTube now sees more traffic than expected even Yahoo or MSN. I think it's incredible. And I think that is a great opportunity for those of us who need to increase visitors to our web pages.
But YouTube is really a realistic option to increase traffic to your website? Last year I started testing much this theory, because, frankly, I was a bit 'cynical. My suspicion is that most of these studies of teenagers are looking for clips of their favorite bands or stupid stunts, and I doubt that YouTube could be effectively used for marketing purposes.
So I have a small number of short duration (2-5 minutes) video on a theme, one of my websites, and published in the context to see what happened.
And I must say that the results really impressed me. People were neither find my videos on YouTube itself - or tends to rank highly on Google Videos - Watch and then my video. In a few months, thousands of people have seen and a decent number of them clicked on the link on my website.
As a result, I have seen a significant increase in the number of requests as a result of this experiment and in fact, made me the possibilities.
How hard is it for the power of YouTube? Frankly, the answer is not much, and I would tell you exactly how I did it in hopes that you too can take advantage of the power of online video.
Making The Video
There is nothing fancy is required, making a video on your website in the market. Personally, I have a cheap digital camera and says, essentially only in the lens. YouTube to make sure that the video no longer than 10 minutes in length total. Personally, I have more or less read some of my most popular articles and tips so that I can reuse a large part of my existing content, rather than creating lots of new content.
Literally, I took an article that the traffic was generated, and then read the camera.
Video upload
Sign up for a free YouTube account if you have not already done so and see how easy it is to upload the video. All you have to do is press found on your computer and upload button.
Once the video is loaded, the last step is the correct name. As you are essentially re-use of the content of an article, use the page title as a title for the video and a link to your website in the description.
This is really anything it. I recommend a series of these videos, how they can be a bit 'hit and miss and the more you have to be the biggest difference to traffic.
Another recommendation is to comment on your videos into your YouTube account, as I have found a surprising number of people who are eager to questions about the videos I uploaded and this may also be a good way for people in my site says call requesting that the answer to their questions about this page or page on my site.
