HOW TO FLASH YOUR BLOG ON YOUTUBE?

YouTube is is the most valuable source when it comes to driving traffic to a weblog or website. Most people often waste precious money on adwords and other Traffic driving services when the most cheapest and easiest source of traffic lies secretly in growing social websites. An example of one such free traffic generating source is no doubtYouTube. If you have observed the search results on Google carefully then you might have noticed that no matter what you search for, Google often displays results from two major sources i,e Wikipedia andYouTube. There is indeed a great advantage for those who wish to significantly increase there website traffic and today I will share one important trick of driving continuous and targeted Traffic from this Giant video Broadcasting service i.e YouTube

How Can You Drive Huge Flow Of Traffic From YouTube?

The Answer is simple, start broadcasting your Blog Posts on YouTube! Yes you heard it right! Let me explain it now.
Last year I tried every possible Traffic resource in order to multiply the number of unique visitors to MBT but most methods were often hectic and required great deal of time. I am sure you have tried linkreferral or EntreCard and you know how often do we get angry when after having worked so hard the Traffic that we receive from them appears insufficient and non-targeted (Irrelevant visitors) So then I started experimented with some sources which worked wonders and one of these Magic  wands was YouTube. What I did was creating videos of every post that I would publish. I did not create more than 8 videos but the Traffic from them was and is plausible. If I had kept on recording more and more videos then I am sure the Traffic that I receive today would have been thrice with no exaggeration. But due to lack of time I often fail to achieve many great opportunities..
I will share some easy steps by applying which you will be able to make a video of all your blog posts within 1-2 minutes. First kindly see the sample video below as an example,


You might have observed that I simply added a background music and then started simple recording of the post. We really don’t need high quality videos for this purpose as we just want the viewer to visit our blog after having seen the video so keeping the video short and straight is what we aim for.

How To create Videos of Blog Posts and Share it on YouTube?

The method is simple. Kindly do the following,
  1. Download CamStudio Video Recorder From camstudio.org
  2. Install CamStudio
  3. Then view the video below to know how to adjust your camStudio settings for quality recording.
 
     4.  After having understood the proper use of CamStudio simply jump at your Blog post and start Recording. Your Purpose is to provide the viewer with quick answer to his problem so keep the video short with following points in mind,
  • Start recording from your Blog header and then move to Post title and then move slowly till the end of your post.
  • Turn on your media player at the background while recording. This will make the video interesting.
  • After you have reached the end of your post then display a short ending message to the viewer as shown below,
Note:- You can use our image. Simply right Click it and click “Save Image as”

See the video below
   5.  Now Upload your video to YouTube using your Google Account
   6.  Keep the Video Title as your Post title
   7.  Add your Post link to the description and then finally hit Save.
   8.  View your video to see if it is working fine.

Multiply the Traffic Even Further!

Once you have created your video then it would not be very time consuming if you submit your videos to metacafe and dailymotion. This surely makes sense and has helped a lot of people in reaching a desired Traffic target. One of the biggest reasons why some people receive huge flow of traffics is the use of proper media. Digg, Stumble Upon, Delicious have helped people but personally I find them more time consuming and less effective these days (My personal opinion).
So people its time to Broadcast your blogs! Good luck! =d


Today’s post can turn out to be the biggest utopia of your life if you take it seriously and apply it for at least a month. What do webmasters dream of? Obviously Traffic because it is the only tool that brings along all other blessings like success and revenue. Just look around internet and see it for yourself that how many tutorials are written every single day on Traffic tips and tricks where short cuts of driving huge number of visitors to your blogs are shared. Same is true about today’s post but then how come our post today is exceptional? With my small blogging network I have observed some guys like my home buddy Rafay owner of Rafay Hacking Articles and Techlo Tips receiving thousands of visitors within first few months of their blog release. Neither do they advertise their blog nor invest money anywhere else to promote it. So how do they actually do it? I chatted and visited them and then they shared just one simple tip that is the reason behind their huge traffic and subscribers and that simple rule of thumb is“Write More to Earn More!”
Yes the simplest yet the most effective key to the Blogging door of Success is publishing 5-7 posts a day if you are the only author and 10-12 if there are multiple authors. The more posts published per day the better the results. 

How can Good Post Frequency Increase Blog Traffic?

Blog trafficLook around some mega blogs like Tech Crunch and Mashable. They publish several posts per day. One after each 3-5 hours. And that’s why these giants have occupied a great portion of the online traffic. But you can surely achieve that stage with better planning and time management. If you have a good friend circle then you can encourage them to write posts on your blog. After all great number of good articles is what you need to receive your desired traffic.
I have always personally observed my traffic expanding greatly when I post more and more. You might have observed that the traffic Percentage Change goes red in your Google Analytics when you don’t post and goes green again when you start posting actively.

Top 10 Reasons why you must Post Frequently!

This is how this simple yet most effective trick works:
  1. Robots visit blogs periodically depending on how often the blog is updated
  2. The faster a blog updates the faster it is crawled and indexed by Search Engines
  3. Since there is big competition amongst search engines themselves so they always look into more updated content and try their best to provide the searchers with the most up to date content
  4. By posting more your blog becomes an encyclopedia for Google where it can find variety of topics
  5. The smaller your number of posts and posting frequency, the smaller you get in the eyes of search engine robots.
  6. Robots are more like school teachers they love you when you provide them with complete homework on time and they penalize you (lower your ranking) when you turn lazy.
  7. When you post more, your readers will remain active and would often visit your blog and read your feeds. Thus you multiply Pageviews and page impressions. As a result revenue through Ads blossom.
  8. The only thing with which you can beat any competitor is by turning your blog into an Encyclopedia of your selected Topic. Remember the weakest point on a competitors side is always laziness so make his dumbness your strength and burst him with tonnes of articles and grab all his readers and traffic. That is surely legal!
  9. When you update more, your readership would increase because readers would often check back to see if you have something new to share. Subscribers mean a lot!
  10. Frequent updates when shared on Twitter and Facebook will surely expand your followers/ fans list.

How To Choose Posting Frequency For Your Blog?

Keep your Blogging goal in your mind and then decide which of the suggestions below best fits your needs:
  • For Rapid Boost Up In Traffic: Publish Several times per day to drive tremendous flow of Traffic. As a rule of thumb posting 3-5 times a day is considered best for Power Bloggers.
  • For Steady Boost Up In Traffic: Publish at least Once a Day.
  • For Slower Boost Up In Traffic: Publish 2-3 times per week. This campaign suits those who blog as a hobby and with no goals in mind. 

So which plan did you choose?

Do let me know how you find this new yet somehow very useful sharing. I would love to know which Post frequency Plan will you adopt to achieve what you always dreamt of. Peace out! :)

Created a site...but no traffic or not much traffic? Confused ? Is there any alternate in your mind ? Most of you go for YouTube or Facebook in this case . Most of the people just go and upload their advertising/promoting video on YouTube and spread it on few sites ; and then just sit back and relax waiting for any expected increased traffic on their website . Here is the mistake which people don't realize , in order to generate traffic through YouTube , you would have to work a lot on YouTube rankings . If you wont work on the YouTube rankings , hardly a few viewers will get to know that your video evenEXISTS!

YouTube Statistics 2011

YouTube is the fastest growing video sharing website with the largest number of viewers all around the world . Lets have a look at the YouTube statistics :
The YouTube statistics ( http://www.youtube.com/t/press_statistics ) as of February 2011 are:
  • More than 13 million hours of video were uploaded during 2010 and 35 hours of video are uploaded every minute .

  • 70% of YouTube traffic comes from outside the US . 
  • YouTube is localized in 25 countries across 43 languages .

  • YouTube reached over 700 billion playbacks in 2010 . 
  • Average person spends 15 minutes a day on YouTube . 
  • 70% of YouTube's traffic comes from outside the US . 
Why was there a need to mention all the above statistics ? I mentioned the above so that you may take a sensible decision while uploading your video on YouTube just to grow your traffic . Just to let you know , there is a dire need of taking some sensible steps to grow your traffic via YouTube . So here we go :

1- First things first : Video Ranking & Views!

What is the use of your video if it doesn't have a good ranking ? Oh wait ! How can you increase your ranking ? Do you even know that ? So what can you do to increase the ranking of your videos . Well , as many subscribers your video/channel has ( consequently views ) , the more easier it will be to increase your ranking . Get as many likes and views as possible. ASK AND ENCOURAGE your readers to leave comments ! And reply to their comments . If everything is played perfect then naturally your number of subscribers will increase which is what you must pay more attention to.

2- Keep Video Titles Keyword Specific

You need to work on the video titles . Your title should be fitting and interesting . Titles with keywords that people are searching on will get more views. You shall put your keywords that will make your videos rank much better. Firstly , the keywords should be used in the video title , and then use them twice or thrice in the description of your video . In a nutshell , make your video titles easier to search . Understand the chemistry of the user ! Include as many specific keywords in your title and description as you can.

3- Comment On Other Videos With a Linkback

Next, comment on others' videos and leave a comment including a link to your video . Make sure you do it now . Got it? And if your comments are liked by the viewers , they will probably check your profile . Consequently , your videos too! :D
Now that’s the time when you add new people to your circle , by watching and commenting on videos of the people who are doing the same for you . This is the crucial stage as the number of views of your video increases resulting in an increase in your social media traffic . I hope it explains well enough .

4- Next make video responses

The next important thing you ought to do is to make video responses – Yes , video responses . Just go through the videos with pretty good high rankings and views . Make a video response . Why ? Because you are a newbie , and they are professionals , don’t care about how your response looks like .You just need to jump into their regular viewers . In this way , you will have some traffic driven to your videos . Again , as I mentioned earlier ,this will result in an increase in your viewers .

5- Video Time Duration

Keep in mind that the duration of the video should not be much longer . 3 minutes are perfect to present your idea . However , continuously ask the viewer to visit your website :P
This can be done by placing your logo or URL at the beginning of your video .

6- Choose Suitable Time To Upload Your Videos

Ever gave it a thought or just posted your video at any time ? If I post a video at 4 pm ,I don’t expect much views ,because no one is that free to watch my video at such a busy time . So yeah ! Be careful about the posting time . Instead , choose a suitable time to post your general video in weekdays . No one would like to sit back and watch advertising videos on weekends .

7- Create Better Quality Engaging Videos

Make sure your video is engaging . Plus , it should be informative so that the viewer completely indulges in the video and watches the complete video . Do not just present , present and present your idea in the video . Let people indulge in the video by making your video exciting and learning .
Your video should be a one which can grab attention of the viewers. Your video should have an appropriate colour scheme – Don’t go on recording your videos in bright pinks , purples etc.  Instead , cool yellow or blue would do . Keep suitable colours .

8- Make Your Videos Viral

And now , putting aside everything mentioned above , have you wondered how to promote your video in order to get traffic on your website? Well , make your videos viral , spread them to as many websites as you can . But make sure that the quality of your video is good

9- Have Patience

Last but not the least ; always take a proactive approach before planning to post your video . Your videos wont be successful just in a day . It will take a LOT OF time , so be patient . Your ranking will increase slowly .
I really hope that the points mentioned above can help you achieve your goals . Comments and suggestions are welcomed!

HOW TO COMPARE WEBSITE TRAFFIC ?

I was browsing when I came across a beautiful tool created by Compete.com that can be used to compare website Traffics. You can use it to compare your traffic with your competitors. You can use it to see who receives more traffic: Google or Yahoo? Facebook or Myspace? Blogger or Wordpress? and so on. Further this tool gives a more detailed insight about the traffic stats of websites by comparing unique visitors, monthly visitors and yearly visitors of two or three websites for free. I just hope you will love it.


Who receives more Traffic: Blogger or Wordpress?

I just compared Blogger.com to Wordpress.com and unfortunately the results will not be that satisfying for Blogger users :p See it for your selves.
