YouTube and video marketing in general can bring huge traffic to your site or business. YouTube alone is the second largest search engine on the planet, second only to Google and for those of you that don’t know Google own YouTube. So your two main focuses in creating traffic to your website or business should be Google or YouTube. This is why I have created this post YouTube Tactics And Tips to help you increase traffic to your site.
If your are still not using video marketing and the almighty likes of YouTube here are some facts that you need to know:
- Each person on YouTube spends between 15-25 minutes a day on it.
- 48HRS of video are uploaded every minute.
- 3 billion videos viewed every day.
- 800 million unique visitors visit YouTube every month.
- Google today said its YouTube site hit a trillion playbacks in 2011
So if you are still not thinking of using YouTube you are missing out on potentially thousands and thousands of free traffic. So with that being said the next thing I need to share with you is ‘YouTube Tactics And Tips’.
The first thing you need to know is that YouTube normally rate your video in the first 24-72HRS, so if your video has no views in that time then you will never make it to the top of their search engine. Progression and interaction are 2 main things YouTube will focus on. Now we know the first 24-72HRS are very important and these tips that follow will help you increase your YouTube search engine rankings.
- Buying traffic – So we know that the first 24-72Hrs are the most important when you upload your video, this is why buying traffic in the first 72hrs is a vital tactic. YouTube will basically rank your video higher on the amount of views it has, so by buying traffic it will help your video move higher on the search engine. The higher you move up on the search engine the more views you will get, which equals to better rankings.
- Entice your viewer - The first 10 seconds of your video is the most important, be sure to get to the point as quick as possible, the point being your title and keyword. So if your keyword is ‘how to get YouTube views’ make sure you use this in the first 10 seconds to Entice your viewer into the rest of the video.
- Get reply’s and interact with your viewers – YouTube will rank your video higher the more comments you have and the more you interact with your viewers. Get yourself a few YouTube accounts and start conversations on your own videos.
- Caption your video – Having your URL in your video is a great way to send extra traffic to your sites. The more videos you have the more people see your URL or logo could potentially equal to a flood of traffic.
- Subscription and video likes – This tip is very short, basically the more subscribers and likes your videos have the better it will do in the search engine.
- Make sure your videos are short and to the point – 94% of viewers will prefer to watch a short video, the videos on YouTube that have the most views and likes are under 4 minutes.
- Choose your thumbnail wisely – Choosing the right thumbnail is very important in how many views and clicks you will receive, the difference between a good enticing and a poor boring plain thumbnail can make the difference between thousands of views.
- Using video responses to your advantage – This is a very fast way to increase your views over night, search for a high traffic video that is in your niche or subject then respond to that video with a video response. People will see your video response and this will increase your views tenfold. Be sure to use an engaging title and a great thumbnail.
- Pay to insert your URL – Find videos in your niche or subject and send the owner a message asking if they would be willing to insert your URL of your website in their video description for $10 or for whatever you are willing to pay. If their video is receiving huge amount of views then this could send huge amounts of traffic to your site.
- Correct use of keywords – If you are creating a video on ‘make money online’ then insure you use this in your title, description and video speech. If you don’t use your title in your video speech then YouTube can penalise you. Keywords are very important don’t abuse them.By Lee Griffiths Of Working Online Blog
