most of the internet user browse youtube, you can have a lot of traffic if you use youtube to gain traffic....
i m also agree with all of them its ok to get traffic from youtube it should not contain any problem at all.........
Traffic is traffic. As long as its not against adsense TOS as explicitly mentioned, there should'nt be a problem.
If Youtube traffic is illegal then why would they make an Adsense Youtube partner program for top Youtube publishers
Having a youtube with videos that have substantial viewer hits is actually a apparent advantage to have your website get noticed. It's like common sense in using other media to promote links.
It is not illegal to use high traffic websites (youtube for example) to drive your traffic as long as the video is relevant to the content of your website. You can also do this steps. This is what I just learned from someone. 1. Have a full video of your interesting content. 2. Divide your video into 2 parts, with percentages 20% and 80% or 25% and 75% (the first part has to be shorter) 3. Upload your first video to youtube (remember this has to be interesting and inviting) 4. Compress your full video and give it a password. Make the password as your preferred domain 5. Upload your full compressed video to media sharing files such as ziddu.com or mediafire.com 6. Put the link of your compressed video under your youtube video 7. Then everytime your visitor watch your interesting video, they will need to download the full video and they need to remember the name of your website. (these steps work very well if you make a turorial video) good luck!
if the video is originally yours,,, so you can put your link legally, and you got no problem with it,,,,
