    You have to put a video related to what you want to market, and then watermark your url on the bottom or corner. Then you have to put a url to your website in the description, as well as some short writing related to your keyword. If your video gets popular, it will go to the front page, and possibly go to a top rank in google due to Youtube being a high PR/ authority site.

    Thats good, using youtube to promote your site. You might get some traffic since a lot of people are watching videos on youtube. What software are you using?

    I found this site for video tutorials
    http://www.video-tutes.com/

    Hope it helps. Good luck

    There's some room for improvement.
    First of all, add a watermark, also at the end of the video put something like 'To find out more about kimbo slice and watch more videos visit www.mysite.com'
    Second, add a link at the top of the description box i.e the very first line. Usually the user has to press the 'More Info' button so that the whole description box will be shown, however the first line of the description box is always shown, which means that if you put the hyperlink at the first line the viewer will be always able to view it.
    Third, don't put a link like : mysite.com , your link should look like this : http://www.mysite.com
    i.e always put http:// before your site, that way youtube recognizes that you have posted a link, and automatically hyperlinks the link, so that the user will be able to view your page with a press of a button, rather than having to copy-paste the link to his browser

    Don't forget to include the http:// part in your url, this way it will be hyperlinked...

    Perfect job on setting up your vids.

    Also, you can try getting your views boosted to increase attention to your vids -- if a video has a high enough view count, it gets featured on the front page for its category and you're much more likely to get traffic that way. If you want details on this, just PM me. :)

    To get good traffic from youtube, you need more videos and more than 1 youtube account. If done right you can get go from 0 to 20k unique per day in 2 weeks.
    The good news is that it can be done automatically

    It is better if you add unique title and description for your video.
