The TRUTH About Video Marketing!

Hi Robvegas,

There is a lot more to video marketing then just giving a video and sending it out.

To find your videos, if you want to do a quick check of if your videos are in Google, just take the title in quotes and search it. I have Traffic Geyser and it gets me good results (not everything lines up, but alot are on the top pages).

I suggest you use TubeMogul, it is a free video distribution that only goes to about 10+ sites, up to 100 videos sent out a month.

There are more effective video marketing strategies (check sig) and using Tube Mogul gonna cost you nothing. I think Traffic Geyser GREAT, I do not suggest it to someone who is starting out (unless they are doing the $1 trial) and only doing a few videos, but it is needed if you become a serious Internet Marketer.

Cheers,
Mukul

First of all, I don't believe that would be the case for all TG users and for all videos. Plus there may be other strategies to consider like submitting your video with varied or "spun" descriptions to small blocks of the submission list so avoid too much dup content on the description side of things.

However, to answer your question...

The good is that people tend to use the search function of their favorite video sharing site. Also some sites provide search across multiple video sharing sites.

So a lot of your traffic would come directly from search on the video sharing sites themselves.

More distribution means more potential eyeballs on more sites.

You should be monitoring your traffic sources to see what the results are... not just backlinks. If backlinking was your only goal then there are probably more efficient ways of doing that.

Before you do that you need to consider the type of content you are posting...

For example TubeMogul does not like and will filter out video ads and affiliate marketing type videos if they catch them.

The reason is because in order to maintain their good relationships with the networks that provide them the statistical APIs for their premium services they have agreed to provide some quality control.

All i know is I use traffic Geyser and get excellent results.

However I have never tried tubemogul and will have to check it out.

Ask the next 10 people off the street to name sites where they can view videos. What do you get?

The answer is to go where the people go. Wouldn't even matter if your links got crawled. Market to people not search engines. It baffles me why people think that just having lots of links will make a difference. Google only values quality links with reputation.

So yeah you are blasting them off into thin air.

Put your full title in google with "" << Take all the links and social bookmark them with as much sites as possible.

I personally use bookmark demon. Everytime i use it to bookmark my links i get at least 20 extra views. not only that im gaining tons of links to my videos which helps alot with my video rank on the actual video site and the search engine.

The links in Youtube are 'nofollow' and probably that way for most video sites out there.

The goal of TG is not to increase backlinks (in the link juice sense) but to get your videos on 1st page of Google to funnel traffic back to your site.

So you probably won't see any added backlinks to your site, but check your traffic sources and see if you notice an increase in traffic from the video sites.

If your goal is to increase backlinks only, then just submit articles and use social bookmarking.

Yes, post videos, then write articles and include the link to the video for backlinks. Can you get backlinks by Tweeting about your videos?

Boost the rating of your own videos, too. Create different accounts on youtube (different user names of course.) then rate one of your own videos from one of your other accounts. It works to boost your ratings and might get more views due to the higher rating.

Target your videos to keywords with low competition. Post them on Youtube along with a Keyword Rich Description.

Best of luck!
