An interesting way to get youtube traffic

by TCrosby

Would it be worth emailing the owners of some very successful youtube videos (that don't have links in their descriptions) and offer to pay them $x to put a link to your site/blog in it?

Say a video has 100,000 views, and its statistics show that it it still growing.

Would it be worth offering $25 for a prominent link in the description?

    You could try it, although that technique has been very heavily used, so you may have to send out a lot of requests before you get a positive response.

    The only way to truly answer the question is to test it, I have heard of people buying entire YouTube accounts and buying advertisements to leverage page views. But the only way to see if it will work is to split-test it.

    What do you think would be a reasonable price to offer? (For a single video's description)

    I saw someone selling a product for 1000 dollars using that strategy last year.

    Don't how effective it was..

      Tube Toolbox? Use it for what?:p

      Simply search for a video. For example "HP CoolPC XXX", find a video of that product that have been viewed a lot and then contact the owner via the message function!

    I've tried it by myself. One day I think I contacted nearly 100 Youtube accounts, but no one, and I mean no one replied to my messages.. I wrote the messages very personal and offered them a good price, but no response..

    But you can fine try! I also know a few who have made it. But I don't know why I hasn't..

    I've done this many times for clients....

    typical price is $10-$15 per month for a YT video that has 100-500k views.
