Get Website Traffic Using YouTube Videos

Tried YouTube, right? How many views do you have? I bet you have some, though you’re looking for some ways to get more. These tips will help you to know about YouTube possible ways of getting traffic to your channel and then to your website, blog or anything that you promote in Internet.

• Choosing country and language: First of all, scroll all the way down to the bottom of any YouTube page. You’ll see there 2 options: Current Location, Current Language. When you’ve checked the needed options you’ll start seeing those videos, that relate to them. In order to make sure, if this works right, go back to the top of your current page and click “videos” or “channels” links below the search form. From there – choose any video and get right to its channel. You can see then where this video was made from.

  What difference does changing the “Current Language” option? It doesn’t. The only reason is simply to make you feel comfortable.

• Category of video: That’s right. You’ve got to be sure about your video category. That’ll help you in getting targeted traffic. So, be careful. You can always configure that, when you’re uploading a video, or in the settings of your uploaded videos.

• Video response: Promoting feature #1… if you’re lucky. You can find this feature right under the video itself and above comments. All you need is to find someone’s video in your niche with lots of views. If you feel, that you know about this subject better, try making a video response. This will bring you some part of the traffic from that video. That doesn’t work always, because you need the author’s approval, which you won’t get that simple.

  What do you need to get an approval? You’ll have to make your video response cool enough, so that it could be like a continue-thing. You might need to talk to that author. Send him PM (private message), add to your friend-list, or subscribe to his channel.. if that’s needed. Do something to make him believe that you’re a good guy, and your video doesn’t suck. Sometimes authors give their approvals at once.

• Activity: Forget about popularity without your activity and start commenting… everywhere. Yes, everywhere on YouTube. Subscribe to others’ channels, add to your friend-lists those, who, as you think, are not spammers and are active ones.. and belong to your niche. Communicate sendind PMs etc. But be careful not to become a spammer. There is a little difference between a spammer and a super-active user. Your traffic will grow according to the content and appearance of your videos + your activity.

• Title, description, keywords: Search engine stuff. Act with these as if it’s your website. And when your popularity begins growing, you’ll start getting traffic from the YouTube search engine. Until then it’s useless to rely on it.

• Subscribe! Right… ?: It’s almost the same as subscribing on blogs. You like making funny videos? Or.. do you prefer to teach people or show them how to do this or that? Look for those, who are in your niche. Comment them, chat with them, do the “play” kind of stuff… and of course – subscribe to them, if you like. That’s it. People will notice you, don’t doubt!

• Appearance of your video: You can look for some tips on the Youtube handbook page. In addition, I’d advice to configure the preview moment of your video. This can be done in the settings of your uploaded videos’ section. You surely have met some videos, that show very attractive moments as a preview moment. Don’t you want your video to be like one of those? :)

• Partnership: It’s like Google Adword+Adsense, but on YouTube. Your videos get more views and you also are able to earn money. Read these Partner Program Basics.

• So how to direct traffic from YouTube to your website?: It’s not difficult at all. You wether write your website link on the video itself, in the description (at the beginning is preferable) or in the channel. The better way is to add it anywhere that you can, but carefully. Try not to bother, add some piece of your fantasy.
