The ultimate guide on How to use youtube to multiply your traffic

Using Twitter and using Youtube to multiply traffic in your targeted sites are two different things. Twitter is much like a news platform while youtube is the entertainment one. There are so many tutorials out there teaching you how to use twitter to gain site readership unlike youtube which is less. In any way, harnessing the potential of youtube to gain big readership in your site is a big advantage. Unlike Twitter who needs lots of time span to gain the trust of your followers, youtube takes a shorter route of fishing big traffic in your site. But keep in mind that you have to work intelligently since users will most likely stick to the main site (youtube) instead of visiting to your blog.

1. Proper use of annotations and linking – This is the most basic and the most important of all. Never forget to add a site link that will redirect your viewers to your site.Always make sure that you display an annotation at the beginning of your video. The reason behind it is that beginning of the videos are mostly blank and it’s the best place to plug in your site link. Putting an annotation with your link at the middle or end of the video is mostly ignored since users are usually drawn to the video itself. Don’t forget to add your url in the video description, most users read the video description thinking that they might stumble new information of the video itself.
2. SEO your videos – Keep some time to rethink of the proper keywords you will be putting in the video forms.This is like organic traffic in youtube and the second most important properties in multiplying traffic to your blog. Site annotations and linking is useless if users won’t find your videos.The good thing about doing SEO in youtube videos is that it’s much easier compared to google. You just need to emphasize the targeted keywords in your title,description and tags. Use your targeted keywords in a nice manner and add it to the right category.
3. Use connections – Account management in youtube is very important in terms of getting good connections.Having lots of friends in youtube really helps. It’s thesame as twitter, the only difference with this one is that most of your friends in youtube are more loyal to you.

More user ratings means higher search engine rankings thus helping you to SEO your videos.

5. Be the first to post – There are sites out there that owns a very cool infomercials or site commercials.Rip the contents of it by using some video sniffers and upload it in your account.Youtube won’t penalize you for doing that as long as you do not claim that you own the video. Remember that you are doing the site or company a favor by providing them visibility. Put a link to the original owner and a link of your site. It won’t hurt anyway. You can also get quality videos in video sharing sites other than youtube. Video rippers popularly known as youtube downloaders in user’s terms are great help. Use them wisely
6. Constant Updates – Your youtube account is your friend. Think of your viewers as your customers and not just a viewer. Entertainment is what they want and it’s what you provide. Constant Updates to your channel values professionalism which is the sole purpose of this guide.
