The YouTube statistics ( [a href="http://www.youtube.com/t/press_statistics"]http://www.youtube.com/t/press_statistics[/a] ) as of February 2011 are:
Why was there a need to mention all the above statistics ? I mentioned the above so that you may take a sensible decision while uploading your video on YouTube just to grow your traffic . Just to let you know , there is a dire need of taking some sensible steps to grow your traffic via YouTube . So here we go :
1- First things first : Video Ranking & Views!
What is the use of your video if it doesn't have a good ranking ? Oh wait ! How can you increase your ranking ? Do you even know that ? So what can you do to increase the ranking of your videos . Well , as many subscribers your video/channel has ( consequently views ) , the more easier it will be to increase your ranking . Get as many likes and views as possible. ASK AND ENCOURAGE your readers to leave comments ! And reply to their comments . If everything is played perfect then naturally your number of subscribers will increase which is what you must pay more attention to.
2- Keep Video Titles Keyword Specific
You need to work on the video titles . Your title should be fitting and interesting . Titles with keywords that people are searching on will get more views. You shall put your keywords that will make your videos rank much better. Firstly , the keywords should be used in the video title , and then use them twice or thrice in the description of your video . In a nutshell , make your video titles easier to search . Understand the chemistry of the user ! Include as many specific keywords in your title and description as you can.
3- Comment On Other Videos With a Linkback
Next, comment on others' videos and leave a comment including a link to your video . Make sure you do it now . Got it? And if your comments are liked by the viewers , they will probably check your profile . Consequently , your videos too! :D
Now that’s the time when you add new people to your circle , by watching and commenting on videos of the people who are doing the same for you . This is the crucial stage as the number of views of your video increases resulting in an increase in your social media traffic . I hope it explains well enough .
4- Next make video responses
The next important thing you ought to do is to make video responses – Yes , video responses . Just go through the videos with pretty good high rankings and views . Make a video response . Why ? Because you are a newbie , and they are professionals , don’t care about how your response looks like .You just need to jump into their regular viewers . In this way , you will have some traffic driven to your videos . Again , as I mentioned earlier ,this will result in an increase in your viewers .
5- Video Time Duration
Keep in mind that the duration of the video should not be much longer . 3 minutes are perfect to present your idea . However , continuously ask the viewer to visit your website :P
This can be done by placing your logo or URL at the beginning of your video .
6- Choose Suitable Time To Upload Your Videos
Ever gave it a thought or just posted your video at any time ? If I post a video at 4 pm ,I don’t expect much views ,because no one is that free to watch my video at such a busy time . So yeah ! Be careful about the posting time . Instead , choose a suitable time to post your general video in weekdays . No one would like to sit back and watch advertising videos on weekends .
7- Create Better Quality Engaging Videos
Make sure your video is engaging . Plus , it should be informative so that the viewer completely indulges in the video and watches the complete video . Do not just present , present and present your idea in the video . Let people indulge in the video by making your video exciting and learning .
Your video should be a one which can grab attention of the viewers. Your video should have an appropriate colour scheme – Don’t go on recording your videos in bright pinks , purples etc. Instead , cool yellow or blue would do . Keep suitable colours .
8- Make Your Videos Viral
And now , putting aside everything mentioned above , have you wondered how to promote your video in order to get traffic on your website? Well , make your videos viral , spread them to as many websites as you can . But make sure that the quality of your video is good
9- Have Patience
Last but not the least ; always take a proactive approach before planning to post your video . Your videos wont be successful just in a day . It will take a LOT OF time , so be patient . Your ranking will increase slowly .
I really hope that the points mentioned above can help you achieve your goals . Comments and suggestions are welcomed!
