    Interesting idea, but usually people won't remember more than 1 site (if that) while watching a video. Much more effective to create a single video (or even download it from another site), then place the website address at either the beginning or end. That way if someone likes it, they'll probably visit your site.

    Cool idea Darren, I'd be interested to hear how it works out. I use the odd video on my gadget site but it's impossible to know how many visitors it sends my way.

    Nice Idea, but I don't think anyone can remember the domains.

    Infact, I was just listening to the music half of the time and was posting messages here on DP :)

    It's a great idea but I think it's hard to remember all the urls. I saw chrisg.com and sixfigurewriters.com but those names are simple to remember. The blogspot and others looks interesting but the name is to long/hard to remember.
    I would make a last frame of at least 20 seconds with all the urls again. Maybe with a starwars effect where you let them run slowly out of screen

    Good points about remembering the URLs, so this could work but with a single blog or site. You'd have to write a title and description that people would find the video easily.

    DCT makes a good point about tracking, it would be very difficult to track, but all the same it was good fun making it and 75 views so far :D

    When I get time I'll try the same again but with one site, and it'll be a site that I see commenting on my blog ;)
