My best BACKLINK tips

    I have a site that gets over 61,000 visits per month. Of the referring sites, 12% come from images.google.com and 10% from organic search from Google.

    However, a whopping 30% of all referring sites come from youtube. Last month I had 4,000 referrals from youtube.

    The key, of course, is to build up a popular youtube channel. Create great videos, and make lots of friends on youtube and try to get many subscribers.

    Any time you post a new video, add your website url as the first thing in the description field. It will not help much for SEO as the link has no-follow, but people click on the links, which leads to more exposure for you, which in turn leads to more incoming links if your site is good, and so on.

    Works for me! :)

    Images?

    So you just optimize the "alt" tags to get traffic from image search?

    "alt" tags are a good idea, yes, but the thing here to remember is the file name. I believe the name of the file is important, as well as the content of the page, of course. For example, a great picture of a German Shepherd dog with a file name such as "german-shepherd.jpg" and lots of relevant text surrounding the image can give you nice traffic from Google image search.

    Great, now if only I could make some good videos :p

    I'm not sure google images would be that great of traffic, as its mostly people looking for a picture --> saving it --> and moving on IMO

    I've thought about this before.

    I've received many spam messages from people asking "Check out my channel! I have funny videos, do you like them?"

    And of course, most of these guys who spam messages to other youtubers have well over 5000 subscribers.

    it may not be the best for everyone but sometimes those people click on an ad after they take a picture

    Problem being - videos take time to create and they can be taken down at any time due to copyright issues, unless you are creating guides, which again takes time.

    Good going anyway, for the long term, I would definitely suggest learning SEO and building sites around Google. With many bloggers/webmasters - 90% of their traffic arises from G.

    Well,that is normal why to name your pictures file1.jpg,file2.jpg....whem you can take advantage over your competitors if they don't know basic SEO.

    Youtube is a great way to get some traffic,but the problem for me is creating unique videos....a good way to get extra traffic from youtube is putting up a video just after a popular sports match,TV show and other events.

    So, what's the key ingredient in this model? Is it that you have to have a ton of friends or is it creating more videos? What's the ratio?
