Uploading Videos
This information is usually saved for more
expensive ebooks but it’s truly a great way to get into the search engines and
drive massive waves of traffic to your site.
Youtube, Google , AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Myspace, are all very high
traffic sites and they all have something in common. They all allow you to
upload videos. You can now harness their traffic and of course get free links
to your site. All you have to do is upload videos to these sites as well as
several others out there.
There are several ways to do this.
1.
Create your own
videos. Add your link inside the video and add it to your description. Make
sure in your description you add it with the http:// .
2.
Use other people’s
videos. This is the fastest and easiest way. Warning: Be careful of
copyright videos. If you use copyrighted videos your account can be banned at
the video sites.
To get the videos download the
Video DownloadHelper . It’s a Firefox extension so you need
Firefox to use this. Both of these things are completely free.
Once you have the videos it’s time
to watermark them or add your own beginning and ending. You can use
Windows Movie Maker which is usually located under Accessories in most
Windows installations if you don’t have it download it, free of course. I also
recommend although not necessary
Video Watermark Factory because you can bulk watermark videos with this
program. My main suggestion is include your link and maybe a message at the
beginning and end of each video.
Time to upload.
There are literally dozens of video sites out there. Your goal is to get your
video on as many sites as you can. These are all sources of traffic and
backlinks.
Here’s a small list of sites you can
upload your videos to:
These are not all of the sites out
there but you get the idea. There are many and the more sites your link is on
the better. This is a big traffic/link resource. Register at all of these
sites and look for others and also register at them.
I use
Video Post Robot to speed up the process. It uploads to 30 different video
sites all from one program. The only downside is it’s not free although it does
have a $1 trial period. I suggest going to the site though because there are
other video sites listed there that are not on my list where you can also add
your videos.
New edit: I still recommend Video Post Robot because it’s affordable and still works well. The only thing is the development isn’t what it use to be. They were updating monthly before and they haven’t updated in a few months now. An even more shocking note I’m actually writing this edit on 1/10/09 and the rest of the post was written earlier this week…anyway they let their domain expire. I guess it’s time to email them and tell them to renew it. At least the program is still working for me.
Edit 1/13/09: They renewed the domain and told me two days ago they were planning a new update. The site is back up.
We’re almost done. Part 4 will be here tomorrow.
