    Anyone have experience with this host to host the wordpress and video's for the video blog? site5.com/hosting/ they have a $5 plan. Do you guys think the bandwidth is enough for a site with moderate traffic?

    it's just like hosting a regular blog. the videos are not stored on your servers. and any host should accept wordpress.

    just seen the site: my advice: I wouldn't pay $120 for two years without having at least 10 good reviews from 12 users.

    Traffic from YouTube was basically instant! When you upload a fresh video, you get on the "new vids" section which has quite a lot of traffic. I don't use branded videos anymore, because there's no need :) As I said in the post, I started off with a base of 30-40!

    Take a look at the post, it was never edited. Must be because you're using IE4.

    I put about 10 on per day to kick start then put about 5 on every couple of days for a while. You can recycle em, some get buried yet the same video posted 2 days later sometimes gets really popular!

    Great thread. I'd like to add that although these types of sites are very commonplace nowadays, you can make your site more STICKY by offering the following:

    a) Rating / commenting tools
    b) User blogs/ user profiles
    c) Great search function
    d) All social bookmarkable pages
    e) No PHP in URL for ease of SEO

    How to market this type of site to webmasters? Ask for content/link love in exchange for traffic. Use it as a platform to get two way link exchanges.

    If anyone wants outsourced labor for this, let me know.

    I was referring to marketing the site via viral social networks. Good post, man. :) Another thing I can add: marketing via P2P networks using Quicktime videos with popups :D :D
