Can it help search ranking or more importantly help drive traffic to your site, by commenting (with links) on Youtube videos that are relevant to the content on your site. I'd like to hear from those who do or tried this, and if it turned out to be effective.

  I think a better strategy would be to create a response video and leave that in your comment. If the video owner approves it you can get some good traffic. Just leaving a comment with a website name doesn't do anything for SEO/Ranking. All the HTML is stripped out of youtube comments.

I think I see where you are going with this; leaving comments on other people's videos and then linking back to your own site. For one thing, backlinks from comments are usually not allowed or get reported as spam. And, think about it this way, how would you like it if someone hopped onto your Youtube video and started spamming with links even if the comments were good. Wouldn't you feel as if that was siphoning traffic away from your videos?

I agree, and your user name is already a link to your contents anyway...

I have left comments on some youtube videos and received a bit of traffic that way. I did not put any links or urls in the comment though. I simply have a youtube channel in the same niche so the channel name (that is hyperlinked to my youtube channel) is in front of the same kind of people I am trying to target.

I also left thoughtful, well written comments and not just spam. I should probably try this technique a bit more but I've been busy with other things.

My hope for posting comments was not only to get some direct traffic to my channel but also to get my videos to come up as a suggested videos in the right side bar. I need to experiment some more to know if that is actually effective.

Thanks

Commenting productively on other more popular Youtube channels is a great way to strengthen your channel.

It serves as a backlink of sorts so the more the merrier. Just don't promote yourself or channel. Make it a real comment based on what the video was about.

Combine that little bit of commenting with proper SEO for the video and you'll rank high and stay there.

I have videos I haven't touched in over 5 months that are still at the top of my keyword

Hope that helps

Overall, this strategy helps the entire Youtube community as it keeps the traffic on site, going from one channel/video to the next rather than hopping off Youtube onto an unrelated site. When someone clicks through on your username to visit your own Youtube channel, they can see what you're offering via the videos which serve as a nice warm up for your actual site. I'm assuming that site is listed somewhere in the video description or on the videos. This strategy you mentioned here beats spamming everytime as it creates credibility.

It WORKS like Crazy if you do it right!

it also depends what niche you're in.

I done this in the personal development market with good success.

I tried the same thing in IM and my account got deleted.

I've seen up and coming singers and artists do a lot of commenting on popular videos.

It works if you do it right ie (no link)

Thanks

This comes across as nicely-worded spam, IMO. To be honest, YouTube comments are the dregs of the internet. I wouldn't associate with any of the garbage that gets posted in the YouTube comments section on regular basis.

As most hinted! Don't spam or throw links! Also ask people to google names or links!

This has worked previously! Also add to the comment ad well that helps if u give good advice, then people are more inclined to take advice!

There is a risk if you do it too much, you have to moderate how often you comment to prevent it from looking like a spam.

Yes, it is good to write comment on relevant videos. Comment posting is a good way to increase video popularity. It is not a risk, but yes, if you will write a lot of comments for the same video, it will look like spam.

1)After you are done watching the YouTube video, decide the comment you want to leave.
2)Then after that go down just below the video, and you'll see a box saying leave a comment
3)Press that, and enter your comment.
4)After you leave your comment, press OK, and it'll automatically appear in the comment section.

Thanks

Sure, find yourself a couple of high traffic, relevant videos! Really you want to set something up where you are commenting on at least 10, 15 videos a day. Over about a week or so you should be getting some good traffic.

If you have ten or twenty bucks to play with you can contact the owner of a video that is getting lot of daily visitors and you can ask if they would put a link to your website in the top of their description. Contact at least 10 people and you should get a couple of takers. I still get traffic from this method when I did it over two years ago.

I agree, and make sure that you promote your contents on other social media platforms together with text that make people want to watch the video and you have a good chance of getting the results that you're looking for..

I don't think you would be able to get much traffic through comment links. You can create own videos on relevant topic. You may also add your website link on videos.

Used to work, especially for CPA offers.

These days, Youtube tends to "ghost" these kinds of comments, so they appear for you, but maybe nobody else can see them.

This has been discussed in some of the skype groups I'm in, and we are working out a solution to ghosting. I'll let you know when we find an answer.

I think it can work, but you have to be smart about it. Posting a link or mentioning your product outright with a big endorsement will turn people off, though. You have to do it more subtly, more conversationally so that it doesn't look like you're trying to advertise. Scale is important too, it'll take a LOT of comments to work!
