Still Working On Youtube - the More Videos the Better

I know a great deal about a lot of things (jack of all trades - master of none type of thing - that's me). YT still continues to impress me.

I'm carrying around my iphone - when something comes to my mind - video tape what I have to say and upload it to youtube. To tell you the truth - I could probably upload 50 videos a day if I wanted to. I'm really good w/ KW analysis - so beforehand - probably have some optimized titles in mind. I have a couple of sites - so if I talk about some subjects on my site - will have a link going back to my index page.

But what say you? Have you guys ever thought about putting out more videos in order to increase your traffic? I'm talking about hundreds overall - not dozens. If so - how was your referral traffic?

    I'm starting to do more and more videos instead of posts when I get an idea.

    The problem for me is that a lot of keywords in Youtube are pretty saturated (at least that's what I've found) so ranking high with JUST optimization and no social links or paid comments to make the video rise isn't getting me much traffic.

    However...I have not done hundreds, so I don't have much to go on.


    I know Youtube is huge for traffic, but sometimes I get stuck in my own head about which keywords to target...instead of just creating the videos and moving on.

    So I end up creating none.

    My brother has 500+ videos on Youtube, monetizing with only Adsense & earned $1,000+ in June. He'll most likely hit a higher earnings in July, based on the last 2 weeks daily averages.

    Not bad considering he doesn't have a website & only does this part-time.

    The key is to stay focused on a single niche.

    IMO it would be impossible to over saturate a niche on YT. People on YT don't watch a single video, they watch a lot of videos & they don't care If the next video they watch is from some new guy that's just started posting videos or another guy that's been posting videos for years. If the video serves a purpose, people will watch it.

    Also, YT is 100% self contained, I see a lot of people in IM stuck on external links (social, etc...), that stuff is overkill.

      Yukon, did his payments get halfed?

      I ask because I remember you say in at least one post a few months ago that he was averaging $75.00 a day - that's well over $2,000.00 a month.

          Yes, his earnings did drop, but what we were doing was bound to catch up with us sooner or later.

          Youtube has changed a lot of things in the last 6 months, I guess I can say what we were doing now that it's pretty much done & over.

          We found a way to basically dominate the entire right sidebar of individual video pages on YT (20 videos), per every single video on the same channel.

          Anyways, YT caught on & put a stop to it, but it lasted for a few months.

          He's still recovering from that little set back, but we found another way to boost traffic directly on YT, it's mostly internal links.

          The higher the video count on the same channel, the more leverage you have when promoting videos.

          Obviously the first 30 seconds of the video has to be good content, or the traffic will bounce before the pre-roll video/Ads 30 seconds is finished counting down, so the video view counts as an Adsense click.

            I must admit I'm a bit disappointed.

            (I hope this doesn't offend you.)

            This reminds me when Mark Joyner publicly announced that Fridays were the very best day to email. Of course anyone in the online marketing biz knows that's a whopper of a lie.

            Because I (and a number of posters here) wanted to believe that posting a video response (as you've advised in a number of posts on this forum) was the key to getting a lot of traffic.

            I tried this tactic on numerous videos... spread across numerous types of videos (everything from debt collection to skateboarding to the benefits of owning a new Infiniti JX)...

            ... And the video response has been the hand's-down worst way to get traffic I've ever tested.

            In fact I was so excited about this, I was going to write software to automatically find the best opportunities. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't waste my time on developing it.

            And now you finally admit it was indeed the related videos that attracted the most eyeballs. Yikes.

            Respectfully, I'm adding pinches of salt every time I read your advice now. And that's a shame because what you've said in the past seems logical.

            Sad.

            Is there anyone that can be trusted to give out some real nuggets?

            I've been online since 1997, and I can't think of a single person. Not a one.

              So go ahead. Share a "nugget". I don't think it's right to bitch about others unless you do better.

              While video responses don't drive tons of traffic, I find they are still worth doing, especially if one keeps track of popular and relevant channels that auto-approve video responses.

                When you post a response video to an irrelevant video then that traffic is holy useless.

                Why don't you search for your keyword and go through all those resulted videos and post a response video to them and get highly targeted traffic. (Sweet Tip right? ).

                  I ALWAYS posted a video response to a precisely-targeted titled video.

                  It doesn't work well.

                  I found one video with over 100,000 views, and I was able to have my video response show up for a long time... barely got a single click or two per week.

                  I've also reversed engineered other people's video response stats (YouTube publicly shares this in a mouse click) and they too hardly got any big numbers as a video response.

                  The big numbers come from related videos (on the side of each video page) and YouTube search, not video responses.

                  Bottom line: video responses sound great on paper, but in reality it delivers a trickle of traffic.

                You bet:

                Tip #1: Take each blog post and add them to your autoresponder. This actually gets Google to rank each page higher in their search results. Plus it brings in steady return visitors. Schedule emails to go out on the 4 busiest days of the week. You can get this info by checking webstats.

                Tip #2: Put an exclamation point on the second line of your pay per click ad. When I did PPC, it ALWAYS got at least double the CTR.

                Tip #3: Start your YouTube video title with the words "How to". End your title with the word "video" - this really helps boost search result's rank within YouTube.

                I could go on and on.

                Try it. You'll see.

                I'm not here purposefully giving away disinformation (like it appears Yukon did).

                I thought this forum was setup to help people, not hurt them.

                  Correct, your simply here to complain because others won't do the work for you.

                  Good luck reading anything from the rest of the WF forum members on the Free forums, because they won't do any of your work either.

                  Stop being lazy. :rolleyes:

              Here's the problem when trying to offer help for free, people want support for free on the projects that will earn them money.

              All wanting & no giving isn't impressive.

              I have multiple ways of generating traffic on YT & video responses is still one of those ways for generating traffic. Just because you had a failed attempt at generating traffic has nothing to do with me, or anything I say on this forum. If you had 5,000 traffic hits today, would that be enough traffic next week, the answer would be No, that's the whole point of diversifying traffic/links on YT.

              It's people like you that are the reason I don't sell to IMers, a few are so self absorbed surfing around looking for someone to make them rich, without doing any work or testing on your own.

              Thanks, for the reminder to not target IM products, I don't need the headache. :rolleyes:

                Unbelievable!

                You got caught lying, Yukon.

                And if I didn't ask you twice (yes twice because you ignored my initial question), we'd continue to still think video responses work to bring in a lot of traffic (which you've said on multiple threads - I can paste them here if you'd like).

                Video response posting is a whopper of a waste of time. I could scream out my window here and get more traffic - I'm not kidding. There are at least 4 other bulletproof ways to bring in a LOT more traffic than video responses.

                And you even admitted this. You admitted that your best technique was taken away from you - and it had nothing to do with video responses.

                Maybe you caused this on your side. You'd drop hints about what works on this forum, then nothing. We're not mind readers, dude. I'd either link to an infoproduct (so we can pay for your pearls of wisdom) or skip the coy BS.

                That's like the gurus who get mad at their paying customers because their infoproduct lacks any details. If anything, they should get mad at themselves, not their buyers.

                Instead of a mea culpa, you blame us? Really?

                Totally sad.

                And one more thing...

                ... For those who said this thread has "gone downhill" - if anything, you just saved yourself a ton of work for nothin'. Because YouTube is Google. And Google hates us. If you think Google is going to be a viable source of traffic and cash by years end, you're in la la land.

                Google LOVES to play bah humbug every Christmas. And from what my insiders at Google tell me, it ain't going to be pretty. Hint: no more organic results for us.

                Mark your calendar. You heard it here first.

                  I will never do your work for you, man up & stop being lazy.

                  I've never lied to you about anything, I answered your questions honestly. I never ignored your question, If I did, why are we communicating in this thread?

                  You asked the question twice because your impatient, like that's my fault.

                  You should defiantly reconsider any type of business online/offline, you clearly can't be responsible for your own business.

                  I never said that video responses don't work for getting traffic, I said video responses still work for traffic. Who in their right mind would only have a single source of traffic, lol?

                  You act like you purchased a product, in reality your reading a public forum.

                  Please stop reading my forum post, I don't have time or desire to do the actual work for you.

                  You have no credibility around here. Yukon and I have had our disagreements but I'll take his word and his participation and contribution any day. You talk about giving and in over a year and a half you have been thanked two times.

                  Ease up with going around trying to trash everyone thats put far more into this section of the forum than we both know you ever will.

                    Disagreements, discussions, participation, logic, observations, arguments,
                    are what make this forum great.

                    There's a BIG difference between being clueless, lying, false, and

            Google has changed youtube in the last 6 months. Sadly, nobody reads the
            real internet news, so they must have missed this one. They were tired
            of getting scammed by people who had discovered simple ways of
            outfoxing their youtube algo. They were tired of having people click on
            a video for xyz, play the video, and realize the video is about abc.

            I'm not going to pass out the nugget that they said they were going
            to emphasize now. But what it meant is that even well-meaning people

              If you won't, I will.

              Here's Youtube's explanation on their blog. It basically talks about "engagement", which pretty much means how long people watch your video.

              All this means is people will pay for views...

                That's why I said earlier:

                the first 30 seconds of the video has to be good content, or the traffic will bounce before the pre-roll video/Ads 30 seconds is finished counting down, so the video view counts as an Adsense click.
                Anyone running Adsense on YT & displaying the pre-roll Ads needs to make sure the traffic isn't bouncing before the 30 sec. counter is finished counting down.

                I better be careful giving out free advice, I might not make someone else a billionaire, lol.

              Yep, YT still has a few ways of generating massive traffic & really there not difficult, they just take a little more work which is cool with me, that just means the lazy guys will never even bother to get that traffic (I already see proof of that).

      Not bad considering he doesn't have a website & only does this part-time.

      The key is to stay focused on a single niche.

      IMO it would be impossible to over saturate a niche on YT. People on YT don't watch a single video, they watch a lot of videos & they don't care If the next video they watch is from some new guy that's just started posting videos or another guy that's been posting videos for years. If the video serves a purpose, people will watch it.

      Also, YT is 100% self contained, I see a lot of people in IM stuck on external links (social, etc...), that stuff is overkill.
      That is very inspiring. I too should start putting up more videos on youtube. Maybe like 10-20 per day for a start.

    Been capable of posting 50+ video a day signifies you are not doing it for a living but purely fun.

    Video marketing is just like creating a site and doing nothing and expecting it to go viral, no it doesn't work that way, you need to create some exposures/traffic as well as SEO to nurture it.

      As long as the video serves a purpose (funny, tutorials, informative, etc...), people will watch the video.

      SEO on Youtube is the same as internal SEO on any other website (text/internal links).

      Don't count on viral videos, the odds are against you, it most likely will never happen, the easier way is creating a lot of videos in the same exact niche/subject.

        Sorry Yukon, you missed the point here. The fun I was referring to is not creating video in funny niche but basically doing something because you like it without doing the needful.

    Interesting you said that you should stick to one niche - I believe you about that. I've seen it happen before as well.

    There are about five different niches I want to talk about though. Does YT allow you to get five different accounts - throw adsense (linked in w/ one adsense account) on the videos?

      Yes, they allow you to set up a few different channels that are connected to the same Adsense account.

      Then go a little "gray hat" and set up a few more channels without Adsense to use to promote affiliate programs as well as your Adsense channels.

    Wow Kurt - thanks. Excuse my ignorance here and am really embarrased asking this (I major in article marketing and backlinking as well as on-site optimization) - since youtube is not my forte - can you have multiple channels on one account or is it the other way around -one account is really one channel?

    I have found over the past couple of months that Google search has stopped displaying videos for some of the most high traffic keywords within the IM niche, although there is still video listings on long tail and other profitable keywords.

    Like many others, i generally target keywords within the IM niche and Youtube & Google are not too keen on that i dont think. When i have targeted high traffic keywords in other niches, they still rank with a solid backlink building campaign & long tails can get first page in a few minutes sometimes.

    Even though Google may stop ranking videos on the most high traffic keywords in IM and maybe few other niches, Youtube is still the second biggest search engine and having the video ranked at the top of Youtube is still great exposure.

    I agree.

    He's still recovering from that little set back, but we found another way to boost traffic directly on YT, it's mostly internal links.
    Yukon: I'm assuming you mean that your putting a link on one video that displays and the viewer can click on that link to another one of his videos on YT?

    A little more: When you create additional channels on Youtube, you get a "channel" page. This page lets you do a few beneficial things.

    One good strategy is to use "extra" channel pages to create "playlists" of your videos on other channels.

    Also, I did an experiment a while back. I made comments on other peoples' videos that were about to go viral. These short, simple comments often drove over 100 people to my channel page.

    By combining these two strategies, you can get some extra traffic to view your videos and are a way to use a channels/accounts that doesn't even have any videos of their own.

    Yes, I too had started doing this, but still I do not get luck in driving traffic back to my site. I guess, I have to go for more quantity as well as attractive call for action in the video and stick with one niche. Somewhere on this forum I had read, one guy had said that, he has about 1000+ videos on youtube and after certain times, he is getting lot of traffic from Youtube. That indicates that, We should have lot of patient and keep moving with videos, on long run, Youtube will divert more traffic to our sites

    This seems to have gone from an interesting thread to something less than that. I have just started to use video as a means to get traffic but it seems that it does not matter what the format is. Good content will bring you more traffic than a hundred bad videos etc.
    I take time over my blog posts and try to make them informative and entertaining and then turn them into video to post on various sites. People want to be informed, entertained and build rapport with the video creator not spammed with stuff because it has the right keyword.

    Bottom line is stop trying to sell and start helping by means of your content. If its good the traffic will come.

    Love YouTube.. Once you get a video over 20,000 views it keeps getting views and rolls on over months and months, it's an endless cycle of getting paid. I upload as many videos as possible, even random things that are a min or two, more clicks means more ads served. If you have hundreds of videos online, it's almost a sure fire way to make at the very minimum $50/month. I was doing $90/day awhile back, but haven't really had time to work on it and do more, earnings dropped a bit but still I get paid every month for doing nothing..

    Unbelievable!

    You got caught lying, Yukon.

    And if I didn't ask you twice (yes twice because you ignored my initial question), we'd continue to still think video responses work to bring in a lot of traffic (which you've said on multiple threads - I can paste them here if you'd like).

    Video response posting is a whopper of a waste of time. I could scream out my window here and get more traffic - I'm not kidding. There are at least 4 other bulletproof ways to bring in a LOT more traffic than video responses.

    And you even admitted this. You admitted that your best technique was taken away from you - and it had nothing to do with video responses.

    Maybe you caused this on your side. You'd drop hints about what works on this forum, then nothing. We're not mind readers, dude. I'd either link to an infoproduct (so we can pay for your pearls of wisdom) or skip the coy BS.

    That's like the gurus who get mad at their paying customers because their infoproduct lacks any details. If anything, they should get mad at themselves, not their buyers.

    Instead of a mea culpa, you blame us? Really?

    Totally sad.

    And one more thing...

    ... For those who said this thread has "gone downhill" - if anything, you just saved yourself a ton of work for nothin'. Because YouTube is Google. And Google hates us. If you think Google is going to be a viable source of traffic and cash by years end, you're in la la land.

    Google LOVES to play bah humbug every Christmas. And from what my insiders at Google tell me, it ain't going to be pretty. Hint: no more organic results for us.

    Mark your calendar. You heard it here first.
    Hey - "AmazeMe" - what's the deal w/ bashing Yukon??? Sounds like things aren't working out for you anymore. I started following Yukon's and Kurt's free advice and over the last month - I have more than tripled my referral traffic from YT. (Kurt just offered free advice - I'll be taking that today - thanks Kurt!)

    Yukon is giving out free info and he has explained that there are other ways to get traffic than from Google SE. Sorry about things not working out for you - sounds like you have a bone to pick w/ Google. Well get in line. However, Google can do whatever they want - so it is what it is.

    Have you tried social networking? I do. This is what Google really wants to see. people sharing info with each other. Plus - I stay away from IM products. I have informational sites that bring me in money. Sure - they may not be as much per click - but I'm brining it in. And I intend to setup more YT vids in the future and follow what Kurk and Yukon has suggested.

    Your probably asking someone else - but I have a lot to say that is informative. I've done a lot of stuff and am probably going to start making tons of videos that are not crap. Mostly, it's just me in the video talking about some pretty good info - and they aren't two minute videos neither - much longer.

    Bottom line - there are a few niches out there that are NOT IM products or what have you - it's me talking about different types of subject, in which I'll have about five different channels for.

    I've got a pretty good tip for Yt using the as seen on links under the videos but that means you need a high traffic site to get the full effect out of it.

    I had a funny video site that was indexed in Yt's social blogs. What I would do is wait for Ray William Johnson to publish a new video and within an hour post it to my site and drive abit of traffic to it. Probably around 2000 views in the first 5 hours.

    My links were quite often added to his videos, they go viral pretty quickly, around 5 million views in 3 days. I got some good traffic from his videos and other videos. Sometimes I would just hunt down videos with alot of daily hits but with no as seen on attribute and post it to my site to claim it.

    Of one of RWJ's videos I would get around 700 hits in about 5 days, not a great deal but something.
