How to Use Youtube to Get Traffic to Your Website

Many people by now are familiar with youtube and that hundreds of millions of videos are being watched daily but did you know that many of those people found the youtube video through google keywords?

Take the keyword Guitar for instance. At the time of this writing if you type in Guitar in Google the #2 ranking website result is a youtube video with keyword Guitar plus something else. If you click on the google result you will be taken to the youtube video. Notice there are 36 million views of this video. This is why its in #2 position on Google for such a competitive keyword. There may be many videos on youtube that have the keyword Guitar in it however none of them have received anywhere near 36million views and hundreds of thousands of ratings or comments.

If this was a ecommerce intended video, on the right hand side there would be a url link to your website in which the user can click after he finished watching the video. Many youtube video producers also have the web address placed in the video itself either during , before or after the video for even greater effect.

Now obviously its very difficult to get 36million views to a youtube video however if you target much less targeted keywords to promote your website you don't need more then a few thousand views to reach a high google ranking for your youtube video. Keyword phrases that receive for instance only 100 searches per day or less can make it rather easy to rank your video high in google.
