Top 10 tips you always wanted to know about marketing your website or blog in YouTube. A little know fact about Youtube is

that it can be your goldmine to get loads of traffice to your website or blog. YouTube's search algorithm has loop holes that

can be used to a large extent TO get listed in the top(Remember those good old days when it was easy to come on the first

page in search engines).

1) Create a GREAT Title for your video - Be specific, dont use generic words. Make a call to action in title for eg. "You

HAVE to see this low priced Rolex inspired silver ring !" - Notice the capitalization of "HAVE" - It creates a big

difference, same with the exclamation at then end. Basically the point is to attract user attention. If you have to share

some savings in a time bound range mention that in the title. For eg. "Save 30$ on Silver Rings - Only next 2 weeks" - When

you share numbers be honest and truthful, credibility counts.

2) Create great Tags - Write tags until you hit the limit of text box. Why Tags ? - They are used when people search for

videos. Will you appear or not in search is going to depend a lot on the tags you put.

3) Create a great Description - First thing should be the call to action ie your website URL. Create some space so title

becomes even more readable(by pressing enter a couple of times), then go ahead describe your video.Once you have created a

great description give some more sapce and write in a comma seperated format all the tags,keywords you can possible think of.

Use any of the free keyword generator tools to generate it for you using your description or webpage URL. Keyword generator

tool will help you in finding similar words and phrases. This "spammy" step is totally legal :) and it is going to

dramtatically improve your ranking in search results.

4) Thumbnails - The thumbnail users see of your video is picked up by Youtube from around the mid length of the clipping. So

just ensure middle part is showcasing what you want to showcase in the video. You will have a considerably higher click

through rate on your video if this is taken care of. Very Important.

5) Freshness of content - Be the first one to upload the content. Beat other and enjoy a really high number of views on your

video.

6) Making most of what others have already uploaded - Find in recently uploaded section some great videos reseed them

following steps 1 to 4 and you are going to get higher hits than the original videos :) Reseed only if you have rights to do

so.

7) Get Commented - Comments are going to play a big role in how high you are going to rank. YouTube search gives weightage to

the number of comments given on a video. Ask all your friends to comment on your video - Send mail with call to action - Hey

what do you think about my new car - comments appreciated.


8) Choosing right topic for your video - Use videos that have inherently viral nature. What are those topics ?

- sexy/celebrity
- celebrity related news
- celebrity scandals(highly viral)
- funny natural clips
- shock, accidents,
- cute clips(early teens follow these ones like crazy esp. girls)
- latest movies, games related

9) Watermarking videos - Really important to convert all those video views of yours to site traffic. Use free softwares

available like Watermark Master, Watermark Factory or Moyea Flash Videos MX Pro. You can also do batch conversions using the

software.

10) Peekaboo - In the video show a little that interests user and ask him to watch the rest at your site ( This may be

applicable in some cases).
11) The First mile - Put your site logo and URL as the first thing for first 2-3 seconds. Creates branding and site

recognition in the user preception.
12) The Last mile - Make sure the last 8 seconds of your video is always your logo and call to action to the user to come

visit your site. For eg. "Watch more celebrity videos at www.yoursite.com". The call to action at the end is going to get

traffic to your site.
13) Spreading your Video - There are multiple sites you can upload your video to. Its painful to visit all and try to do

that. Use free services offered by sites like TubeMogul.com, Vidmetric.com, HeySpread.com to do the job for you. First two of

these even allow you to monitor the views and sumbmission of your video. They support around 25 websites where your

submission reaches.
