In recent years online video has exploded in popularity. The massive popularity of online video is due mainly to two converging trends: the greater availability of high speed internet access and the increased affordability of digital recording equipment.

The popularity of videos made big search engines like Google to give higher importance to it and placed relevant videos high in the ranks for natural searches.

In the very least, having a few videos submitted to the various video sharing sites can not possibly hurt your websites traffic flow. Indeed, assuming you know how to make quality videos, your online videos may actually outrank your websites indexed pages.

Videos can provide you with traffic because you can advertise your URL inside each of your videos and place a link in the video description adjacent to your video. Youtube is an excellent traffic generator because they actually allow you to place a clickable hyperlink next to each of your videos so long as you include “http://” at the beginning of your URL.

We will discuss 3 tips which you can use to improve your video popularity:

1.Focus On A Specific Keyword

In order to do this, you need to use a good keyword tool. For my keyword research I like to use Google’s Keyword Tool which you can find by going to Google and typing in the aforementioned keywords. You should use the exact keyword phrase in your video title and sprinkle it several times in your description.

2.Reference From Others

Go to the different video sharing sites and see what other videos that are doing well are doing. That is, look at the content of the video as well as the title and description. If you can produce a video that closely mirrors the highly ranked videos then chances are you too will get high rankings.

3.Share

After creating your video, you can post it in your website and besides that, you should also share it with other internet users by submitting your videos to some video sharing sites or even social networking sites. This allows you to obtain traffic from more avenues.
