@~kev~ Are you making $xxx daily from your forum? I just want to know from the 2 million youtube views, is it possible to make $xxx/day...?
Just found this useful post after searching DP for some advice on using Youtube for SEO and site promotion. You've answered nearly all of my questions. I can see that Youtube can be a powerful source of traffic - but to get improved rankings in the SERPs it looks like time spent using other techniques might be a more effecitive use of time.
I quite get john269's drift. I mean, kev, you're obviously having lots of fun making these videos. Now, imagine if you'd have to promote something you are not too passionate about or something that is difficult to make videos of. Say, marketing. I could make loads of videos about marketing, tutorials, guides etc, but it would consume so much time and energy that I don't think it would be worth the effort. Traffic-wise... I don't think that visitors of YouTube would click my ads or buy affiliate products. Your method is very good in cases when a person has an easy access to videos or they are easily made. If I have to go through too much hassle, I just don't bother. What I want to say, this method is not for everyone.
