    You know what I mean !?

    When I put link in movie and upload on Youtube, I got some traffic !

    Is that good traffic ?

    I think,that is good traffic becouse visitors realy interesting for your stuff !
    he/she need to open new window and type your address to see your stuff !
    That is big job for ordinary visitors !

    That is proof of interestings for your site !


    What you mean ?

    it depends.. if ur uploading let's say "how to" video and if u have "how to" text based website, it will definitely help, some ppl like to watch whereas others like to read.

    i would suggest u use wordpress/blogger and embed the video, so u get twice the traffic.

    hope that helps

    Hard to tell, I have a youtube video that has only been up for 4 months has over 18,000 views, and a 5 star rating, but it hasn't really increased my traffic. :confused: I have the website name in the video twice and a hyperlink in the description link on youtube as well.

    Guess it just depends what people want.

    If people like your video they generally leave a comment.

    Hi Lijana. What's good depends on what your goal is. If it's only traffic that you want, then you already have it good. But it's different if you want to make money out of it. In that case, it's not good if you can't make money out of the traffic you're getting.

    My two cents. :)

    Some people on Youtube (like jimmyrcom) have tens of thousands of subscribers and he just makes simple educational videos. If he did that on a blog, he wouldn't be as successful.

    Why? Because people rather watch a video instead of reading an essay.

    Everytime I need a tutorial of some sort I always hit Youtube first and then, if I don't find anything useful, I google the problem.

    And of course, if people enjoy your video, they will put it on their websites and you thank for it. If someone does the same with your articles, you send them a DMCA e-mail.

    :)

    If people are searching for a specific video on youtube and you have just the right video available, then it is targeted and good traffic.

    Simple answer: NO.

    YouTube traffic, Digg traffic, traffic from social networking sites -
    these all have a small sampling of people who are ready to buy
    something. With testing and skillful use you will be able to
    find ways to make money from YouTube and other of these
    traffic sources.

    YouTube isn't worthless as a traffic source. If you are
    very clever you may be able to come up with videos that
    get some sort of viral appeal going with them.

    Make a talking-head commercial for your product however
    and you will get views but unless your talking head
    has nice cleavage probably not a lot. Can you get
    sales? Depends on the offer. Watch TV info-mercials
    to learn the proven way to do it.

    No, the traffic is crap. It can be occasionally useful if you are getting a ton of views or have niche specific content.

    Start considering any traffic, it doesn't matter from where it comes, it just must come
    A little bit from here, a little bit from there and traffic building is done;)

    It depends what you are sending youtube visitors to. Email Submits work the best for youtube in my opinion.

    If you put some serious effort into youtube, you will be able to get some good traffic in return - but its takes time. A lot of people expect overnight success with youtube, but that is not the way it works.

    A few tips:

    Take your youtube account seriously. This means that you do NOT upload someone elses material. Do not record a show off TV and post it on youtube. The video will be deleted and you account will be banned.

    Post quality resolution videos. Do not use the cheapest camera you can find to record the video.

    Do not add copyright protected music to your video. This will get your account deleted and the video removed.

    Make your videos fun to watch or informative.

    Put your website address at the first and end of the video.

    Put a link to your site on the first line of the video description where it is viewable.

    I have been publishing videos on youtube for about 19 - 20 months. In that time I have uploaded 319 videos, which have been viewed between 2.5 - 3 million times. My videos average 10,000 - 15,000 views daily. Because of all of this, youtube sends more traffic to my site then yahoo.

    After you get your videos going, you can apply to become a youtube partner. If you are accepted, you can link your google adsense account to your youtube account and start making money off of your videos. Youtube can open up a whole new world to site promotion, but it takes a lot of work, time and patience.
