I’m going to show you how you can get tons of free traffic from Youtube. First note, Youtube gets at least 4,000,000,000 visitors a month, so the potential is already there for traffic.
It is very easy to setup a Youtube account , all you will need is an email address to set up your account. Now, let me point out some facts about the video giant
- YouTube is in the Top 5 most valuable web properties in the world.
- YouTube features videos from hundreds and thousands of members, and has made MANY people famous.
- And get this-more than 75,000 new videos are uploaded every, single day (you see that right.)
- Last but not least-YouTube serves up to two hundred MILLION clicks daily.
Like I said, there is a lot of opportunities when using youtube to promote your product or website, and best of all, it’s absolutely free. The idea is, lets say you are in the business of selling mp3 players , and would like to gain free traffic using youtube.All you will need is a camcorder, and a cheap software to capture your videos from your camera and be able to edit the video right on your computer.
I highly recommend using Ulead Video Studio. It can easily capture videos off your camera and you can add effects and background music to your video. You will also need to have your own strategies on how you plan to use these videos:
Strategy #1 – Your videos should be short. These shouldn’t be long movies, as people are busy and look for instant gratification most of the times. No more than 3 to 4 minutes.
Strategy #2 – Then, you’d want your web site URL at the bottom of your videos, so people can see it.
Strategy #3 – Next, Think of some ways to make your videos viral. See, people on YouTube are constantly on the mindset of: “If I like a video, I’ll like to pass it to my friends.”
Now that we have an understanding of this technique, let me get into a bit more detail and examples of using Youtube for sending free traffic onto your website. This video is from Youtube account “esf2005″ , linked to a company who sells mp3 and mp4 video player gadgets.
Since they mostly sell mp3 players on their website, they had setup a youtube account specifically showcasing some of their mp3 modeled players with links pointing to their website, their website url displayed on the actual video, and the title of the video shows their web address again.

This is a good strategy they use, not only promoting their model mp4 players and showing their url, but also showing something that pictures cannot even provide, detailed play by play of the actual item they are showcasing, detail by detail. What better way to display an item for sale, buy using a detailed video, instead of static images. The actual link to this page on youtube is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNQyKnlKHU&feature=related .
If you checkout their user page, you will see many other mp3 players they sell on their website. There is no question about getting traffic sent to this website through their videos, the only question is, how much.
Remember also, most youtube videos will also display on google’s first page results when searching for that particular item.
Now, I think you are starting to get the idea of this free traffic method to your site . Remember, its very important for you take as much advantage of youtube for free traffic as much as you can. Take a look at a screenshot of how and where to use your website url on your video page.
