How To Get Popular YouTube Videos To Promote Your Website
August 30, 2007
Here’s an idea that just came to my head.
1. Find YouTube videos relevant to your market that has a high number of views, subscribers and external links.
For example, if you have a website about dancing, look for the twenty most popular dance videos on YouTube.
2. Contact the account holders and offer to buy their account.
Most YouTube users are just posting videos for fun. So if you offer money for something that they consider worthless, they may just accept your offer.
3. Add your link to the video’s description.
Once you’ve taken over an account, add your site’s URL to the description and watch your traffic grow. Of course, you should also insert a tracking link so that you can monitor the effectiveness of your strategy.
And make sure you insert a live link.
