I've got a site which is just lots of music video's of a specific genre of music. They are catagorised alphabetically, and ive got good google adsense placement on the site. All videos are youtube vids. My question is, how should i go about marketing / promoting the site? The domain name is specific to the content. Im not to keen on adwords. I cant add keywords to my site cos' there isn't much writing etc, just video's, all i can do is add <h1> tags. Any help would be appreciated. - Tanna
add some details about the videos get some links from related websites submit your site to directories
this market is very flooded. unless you do something to make your site particularly useful-- more useful than the other sites out there-- don't expect your traffic to explode. that's not to say you can't get traffic, you can, but when you're just copying what everyone else does it'll never amount to all that much.
The genre of music is unknown outside of the UK, however is very popular. There are no other sites which lets you view only that kind of music online, except for one other site which is never updated, and you have to download the videos. Overture of the genre of music is 14000+ and not many sites about it, so i thought there was a little, very little gap in the market. Hence, im not copying anything , except the idea of online music videos. Its hard to link swap, due the fact i mentioned earlier, there are not many sites that are similar.
Backlinks will up your page rank, and updated content will certainly increase the likings of search engines. Also, throw a link in your signature whilst you are at it.
how do you know that your ads are in good placement, maybe by sharing with us the site and where you have placed the ads you might get some more beneficial feedback
hi, don't post copyrighted viedos to your site from youtube. I posted some copyrighted videos from youtube on mysite, the owner of the video knew it somehow and he contacted me to remove it.
Get some back links from a few sites , do a little bit of SEO , List your site in directories with high page ranks something over 5. This should help you , You can even Try Linkreferral
When buying links don't go off pr, look how many and the quality of backlinks they have pointing to the website (use msn not google as they only display a handful). Also make sure they are on the same topic as your website or they count for more or less nothing.
I know all about ad placement, just cos' i have like 17 posts, it doesn't mean im an adsense newbie ! BTW, thanks for all the replies.
in most situations for most webmasters, you should never be buying text links unless they're providing a direct return on your investment.
Didn't someone else just post recently that adsense banned him for just posting links to youtube videos? I know people have taken chances with stuff in the past, cuz the as far as copyrights go, you can't really get in trouble unless the site you took stuff from reports you, but remember... google owns youtube now, and you'd be taking stuff from *their* site.
well i see everyone here after adsense ,i suggestions would be forget adsense and try to increase regular visitors and members then only go for adsense.
great, so much helpfull info there, i am building a new site www.zune-vs-ipod.co.uk going to use long tail for sure
