I have created a video to promote an Email/Zip submit, it offer $500 worth of free groceries. The video could not be more simple, but it directs them to the description which has my affiliate link.

I have tried back linking by posting on Grocery Coupon Forums, but all 6 forums I posted on I got banned from lol. I thought linking to the youtube video wouldnt make my post spammy, but apparently it is.

What other ways can I help the exposure of my Youtube Video, furthermore getting it to rank in Google for my keywords. By the way I have already optimized the video seo wise.

This is the link of the video: (this is not for promotional purposes, I just want CC on what I am doing right and wrong)

    If SEO is what you want to do its a bit complex. You will need to do some keyword research and find the low hanging fruit keywords. You will then need some good backlinking tools and you will need to create some content to rank. On page and off page optimization is the key to SEO. If you have no clue of what I am talking about then do not make your main focus SEO. Do some research here in the forum and look up the term "syndication." That will lead you towards a much more profitable path.

      I am sorry but this makes no sense at all? When it comes to SEO on a Youtube Video, all you can do is optimize the "Title", "Description" and "Tags", i.e meta.

      What content do I need to create? you mean like add Annotations?

      I am seriously getting the idea that you didnt read my thread.

        There is much more you can do to rank a You Tube video. Clearly you are a clueless marketer when it comes to SEO. I told you if it went over your head you might want to stay away from SEO. My advice was to look for another strategy and I suggested syndication.

    Firstly have an independent look at your video pretending to be from Googles eyes. As it is difficult for them to decipher a video, in relation to ranking it, as there is no text in a video they will then look at the video title,description and tags.

    You appear to have ignored all these factors.

    Try to choose a main keyword and a secondary keyword and use the above factors to "naturally" place these.

    Pay special attention to your description.

    You want a video that gets thousands or hundreds of thousands of views. It has to be gimmicky, outrageous, and with the potential to go viral. The idea that you can make money from YouTube with CPA offers has long been an unproven myth, but has sold alot of ebooks.

    Go to Fiverr. Buy few gigs, like 10,000 blog comments or forum links. Youtube is a authority site. It will not affect your ranking on Google. However I just focus on getting it rank on Youtube I don't care about Google (but they get ranked on their own eventually). It is easier to get ranked there.

    You probably already know this, but in case you don't or if there are any other visitors to the thread that are new to it, here are somethings to make sure you do.
    1. do keyword research before making a video and use good descritions and tags to get traffic
    2. ask for the likes, subscribers, and comments at the end of each video to gain popularity
    3. build a site where all the videos can be compiled into one place and double your exposure for those who don't typically go to YouTube to find your videos through natural organic listings in google. 4. do lots of shorter videos on specific things rather than longer ones.
    5. brand yourself by having your URL on the video throughout the video so your scraped videos will be working to expose you and brand you when others take your vids and embed them in their site. 6. ask for questions at the end of each video to help you have a constant flow of content, making videos that answer people directly through the video is a good way to also build dedicated followers.
    7. don't forget to expose yourself through social media

    Hope one of these tips can help. Good luck!

    Backlinks quality is not important for YouTube videos, as long as they are links. Do quantity over quality to get better rankings. For some extra traffic use social media. (Facebook,Twitter etc.) You can also use YouTube view exchange sites and Fiverr.
