Use Videos To Drive Traffic

Video is definitely an underused medium for driving traffic to websites

. Few people understand that YouTube.com is the number 2 internet search engine! Especially when visitors want to know "how-to", Youtube will be the website they'll search first, often even ahead of Google.

Now lots of people get completely uneasy once you mention creating a video. They worry that they're not young enough/pretty enough/thin enough to create videos. Nonsense! Unlike on t.v. or movies, individuals watching videos would rather see genuine people who can provide them the info that they are searching for rather than someone who looks great but provides little in terms of serious information.

You might think that you need to spend a lot of money to create videos, but the fact remains that you don't. Use a simple hand-held flip camera, which is often found for $100 or so, or else just use the built-in webcam that comes with most computers now a days. You don't costly software to make videos. Cam Studio is a free piece of software that you can use to record videos, or you can use Windows Movie Maker which enables you to do some great editing tricks.

If you are camera shy, just put in a still picture of yourself at the start of your video. This provides you with you more trustworthiness, as showing a photo of yourself instills a sense of credibility from the audience. A very simple method to create videos is using articles you have previously created and PowerPoint or similar program. Quicky read through through the article, and create a PowerPoint with bullet points created from highlights of the article, and just read and narrate the entire article and record it.

Never convert your entire article to PowerPoint. I know that you have endured the PowerPoint with sufficient content to rival War and Peace before. It's monotonous and tedious.

Ensure that your website address exists within the very first frame of the video. Keep the video short and concise. Because search engines like google cannot "read" video, make sure that you make an effort to complete the description and tags section when submitting your video. A suggestion to help your video gets found by the search engines is to return after it is published and copy and paste your article into the description section of the directory. Not every single video submission site allows you to do that, however if they do, take advantage of it.

If you want to take the lazy route and just use videos to get back links, you'll find nothing easier to use than Article Video Robot. You can take an article which you have submitted to the main article directories, and convert it to video using a one click. Otherwise you can decide on the full-editor for more control over the result.

The videos made with AVR aren't pretty, but if you are only wanting to get back links from high PR video directories, they fit the bill. It is possible to customize them by adding your own narration, or choosing one of AVR's computer-generated voiceovers. You can also add your own pictures and music should you choose, or make use of AVR's stock pictures and music. AVR can submit your video to 17 sites, including YouTube using the single click of a mouse. AVR's Dynasubmit feature spins your video title and description to make them more unique for the different video directories.
