Use Video Websites to Promote Your Own Website

Many bloggers and website owners rely on search engines to deliver traffic. Search engines rank websites based on content. The more quality content that your site has oftentimes the higher it will be ranked by search engines. A higher ranking with search engines generally means more traffic. If your website happens to be a business or a monetized blog, more traffic means more profit for you.

However, with so many sites on the web and considering the time it takes to get high rankings, it's important to use other proven methods to promote your site.
One overlooked strategy for promoting your site is to use the popularity of video sites like YouTube. This easy to use method can result in a lot more traffic to your site.
When using video sites, keep in mind, most viewers won't sit through a sales pitchy video. Your video should be creative, entertaining, and/or informative, minus a used-car salesman tone.
If your site sells a product or service, use your video to:


1. Show off your goods.

2. Demonstrate your work.

3. Provide information about your niche.

Keep your video as general as possible to spark interest and to get people to visit your site. Remember to include your website address at the end of your video to drive traffic.
YouTube is not the only video website available, it just happens to be the most popular. Use as many video sites as possible to promote your website. Most video sites allow you upload videos free. The more places you upload your videos to the better results you'll get.
