YouTube Promoted Videos How To Put A Clickable Link To Any Website In Your YouTube Video Using Call To Action Overlay



Being able to put a clickable link in your YouTube video with a clear call to action to visit your website is of course highly desirable for those who are using YouTube to market their products. The problem has been with YouTube annotations that you are only allowed to put a clickable link to a url directly on the YouTube network like a channel or another YouTube video. You cannot use YouTube annotations to put a link to a website outside of the YouTube network. So how can a marketer get a real call to action link right in the YouTube video and have it go to his website?

The answer is YouTube Paid Promotions. When you register your video with YouTube Paid Promotions you are allowed what they call a "Call To Action Overlay." This is a very nice blurb you can put at the bottom of your video with a description, display url and destination url. If the viewer clicks on the link they go directly to the website of your choice even if it is not on the YouTube network.

I know what you are thinking. "Now I am going to be paying all kinds of high pay per click charges." Not necessarily. You can choose to promote your video through YouTube Paid Promotions and just choose a few unpopular keywords and make a low cost per click bid. This way you get the option of having a nice "Call To Action Overlay" without having to pay the pay per click charges. Of course if you want to optimize your video with lots of keywords and you are willing to pay for it this is fine too.

I hope this tip helps you with your YouTube promotions. If so please like the video and comment below. You are also welcome to embed the video on your blog or website. Thank you!

How To Download Videos From YouTube



This video is a slightly humorous tutorial on how to download videos from YouTube to your hardrive using YouTube Downloader. YouTube Downloader is an extremely popular freeware. The term YouTube Downloader is searched for 5 million times per month! YouTube downloader is the 4th most downloaded program from Cnet downloads. It has been downloaded a staggering 53,368,796 times!

You may already know how to download videos from YouTube, if not check out the short video tutorial and you will learn how in a few minutes. It is very easy. But there is more here than meets the eye. This is also a marketing strategy that you can copy.

I have taken a very popular free piece of software, YouTube Downloader, (Got that search engines? I said YOUUBEDOWNLOADER!) and I did a short humorous tutorial on how to use it. Throughout the video I have let people know they can download the software for free (virus free version) from my Facebook fanpage. I purchased the domain name "coolmarketingsoftware.com" which I have put in the video using the call out feature of Camtasia. This domain name redirects to my Facebook fanpage. My Facebook account defaults to my Fanpage where I have an opt in form promising to give the subscriber access to over $6000. worth of PLR software for subscribing to my newsletter.

In the video I show people how to click on my like button, and how to subscribe. I also show them the download page and tell them which link to click to get the YouTube Downloader software. I also included a title clip at the end of the video giving people another clear call to action to go to my Facebook fanpage and download their free software including the one I did the tutorial on.

So the idea is to grab some of those 5 million searches per month and send them to my video, in turn sending them to my Facebook fanpage so they can become fans and subscribers to my newsletter. So here is the technique.

1. Set up a Facebook fanpage with a great offer or incentive for viewers to both subscribe to your newsletter and like your Fanpage.
2. Find a popular software or product that relates to your site.
3. Reserve an easy to remember domain name that you can put into the video.
4. Place the domain name in the video using call outs.
5. Tell people in the video to go to your Fanpage, subscribe to and like your
fanpage.
6. Tell people why they should do all the above.
7. Put a title clip at the end of the video for at least 10 seconds telling them
again how and why to get their free gift or bonus.
8. Promote the heck out of this video. (More on that in another post.)

I hope you found this tip and video helpful. You are more than welcome to embed this video into your website or blog. Millions of people are looking for this software and how to use it. It could only help your SEO. Plus you are providing valuable content for your viewers. I would appreciate your comments and of course your Facebook likes. Here is the code to copy and paste the video into your website or blog:

How To Get Free Traffic From YouTube Using The Title Hijacker Technique

YouTube is serving more than 150 million videos per day and more than 100k new videos are being uploaded everyday. Collectively YouTube videos are receiving hundreds of millions of views per day.


There is a huge opportunity with YouTube marketing. YouTube recently replaced Yahoo! as the number 2 search engine. YouTube is really a video search engine. It is not just and entertainment site. Most marketers are not fully tapping into the great resource of free traffic.

Here is how you use the title hijacker technique. First type in the keywords for your specific niche into YouTube.

Take a look at the titles of the most popular videos in that niche. Now make your title of your video in YouTube similar but not exactly the same.

For example if you are promoting a video on mixed martial arts and the title of the most viewed videos is "UFC 74 Gonzaga Vs. Couture" you could make your title "UFC 74 Gonzaga Vs. Couture My Predictions" or "UFC 74 Gonzaga Vs. Couture Betting Odds" Just use your imagination.

Now look at the tags of the most popular videos in your niche.

Here is the url for the YouTube Keyword Tool: https://ads.youtube.com/keyword_tool

Copy and paste the urls of the most popular Youtube videos into the keyword tool and you will see the tags and keywords this YouTube video is using.

You will get a list of keywords that this video is using. Use these keywords in your video description and tags.

Also go the the Google Keyword tool here and get more ideas for keywords in your niche. Use these in your description and tags as well. Remember YouTube videos show up very well in search engine results as well. Here is the url for the Google keyword search tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Remember to include the url for your landing page in the beginning of your description with the full http://www. Also tell people in your description and in your video to visit your website.

You can include many keywords in your YouTube description so don't be shy!

Now that you have made your title and tags similar to very popular videos in your niche your YouTube video will start to show up next to popular videos that you imitated in the YouTube search results.

Here is another trick. Make sure the image in the thumbnail of the video is something very eye catching. If it is in the weight loss niche maybe a picture of a very athletic body. Pictures of hot women always seem to work well if you want to go there.

Usually YouTube picks up the picture right in the middle of your video to use in the thumbnail. I have never been able to get this to work.

So for my traffic building videos sometimes I record voice over a very attractive picture. This way YouTube is sure to use the thumbnail I want.

So the goal is to have your videos showing up right along side the popular videos in your niche with a very eye catching thumbnail.

Create 50-100 such videos specific to your niche and watch the traffic roll in! This is very targeted traffic plus it just keeps growing and growing.

There are many more YouTube techniques but this one should get your going. I would appreciate your comments or if you have your own YouTube traffic techniques please share! Please comment below and bookmark this post in all your favorite social media sites. Thank you!

Review Bookmarkwiz Social Bookmarking Software

It is no longer good enough to just make great posts, videos and articles and post them to the popular directories. Mainly they will just site there getting a couple of views here and there. If you are going to get your content noticed you need to promote your content as well especially on other people's websites. One way to do this is by bookmarking everything you post in all the social bookmarking sites.

The problem is that this is very time consuming. I starting looking around for some software which would automate the process and I ran across Bookmarkwiz. Most social bookmarking software is expensive, some have recurring month fees, update fees etc. Not so with Bookmarkwiz. I also like that the software stays away from the less well known social bookmarking sites and concentrates on sites with high page rank value.

Bookmarkwiz is completely automatic. The software allows you to sign up for multiple account with multiple usernames, bypass captcha codes even confirm all the sign up emails automatically with one click! Of course when it comes time to post your bookmarks you just fill out your link title and description (you can put in several of each so that it alternates) and click post. Your link is bookmarked automatically in the major bookmarking sites. This automatically gives your posts, articles or videos high quality backlinks which are immediately viewable in the search engines.

If you are regularly posting content on web you need this software. You can use this to bookmark:
1. All your videos in all the video hosting sites not just youtube
2. All your blog posts
3. All your articles posted in all article directories
4. Your Squidoo pages
5. You forum posts
6. All blog comments you make on other sites
7. All forum comments you make on other people's forums
8. Any websites you just think are cool!

Can you imagine if you had started bookmarking every bit of content you had posted over the last year? This would add up to 1000s of high quality backlinks and traffic to your website. Bookmarkwiz is the only software I have which makes posting automatic in every sense. It is a high quality software, with no recurring fees, excellent support, free updates and complete automation. Just type in social bookmarking software in Google and they are number 1! They must be doing something right!

Included is a very nice bonus as well. Built into the software is a whois database submitter. Have you ever seen results for your domain in the search engines where these whois type sites list your Alexa info, traffic info, whois info, and maybe even an estimated value of your website? These whois search engines scrape the web for new domains and generally are very high ranked. I have set up one of my one here.

Some webmaster are taken aback that their information is on someone else's website without their permission. But from a marketing standpoint it is good to be on these sites. Actually submitting to these whois sites is one of the fastest ways to get indexed in the search engines. Bookmarkwiz has a built in submitter which will submit your site to over 1000 whois search engines with one click! You will see immediate results if you Google your domain after submitting using the whois submitter. This is included with your Bookmarkwiz software. Go ahead and submit all your domains to the whois search engines and bookmark all your content with the social bookmarking software and you are well on your way to getting thousands of quality backlinks and targeted traffic to your website quickly. To see a free video demonstration of the software see here.

Normally bookmarking to all these sites would be very tedious but there is a piece of Software called Social Submitter which automates most of these processes. Check it out here and let me know what you think in the comments area.

What Me As I Infect My Computer With Adware



Actually what I am doing is downloading free screensavers from ppv network, Vomba.com. The deal is you download the screensavers and you AGREE to receive targeted advertising. This is what viewers are seeing when you run ppv traffic campaigns. It is interesting to see what ads pop up once you are infected. I think it is good to know what your potential advertisers are seeing when you run your ppv traffic campaigns. Let me know what you think in the comments area. Thanks. Matt.

Why Does Google Love YouTube More Than Ezine Articles?

Did you know Google loves YouTube? Google loves to watch videos just like you love to watch TV. Articles can takes days to get indexed but videos are indexed by Google in 15 mins or less.

That's it?

Nope.

One of the benefits of submitting video to YouTube is the search result is different. Video results at Google are the only ones with a picture on the left and appear like paid advertising, but for free!

For example: try search Google for the keyword "top motivation tips"

Can you see the video result ranked at #1 has a picture on the left? Don't you think People are more likely to CLICK that link, WATCH the video and VISIT the owner's website. Now that is powerful. Nothing can beat video marketing.

Now imagine if you could turn your articles into such videos? Same content, just a different mode of delivery.. instead of people reading a bunch of text imagine people watching interactively in a video.

Research has shown that people prefer watching and hearing videos than reading a bunch of text. That means your videos will have a much greater impact to your bank account. Much more profit.

So, if video marketing is so powerful why don't more and more people use it?

It's because video marketing as powerful as it may be has always been expensive and difficult, making it a little out of reach for the average guy.

There is a new Technology called The Article Video Robot a software that will convert your articles to LIVE and TALKING videos
in minutes.

Go check it out here now.


This is powerful stuff - don't miss it.

Enjoy,

Using Yahoo Answers To Maximize SEO and Visibility In Your Marketplace

I have been concentrating quite a bit on SEO and social media marketing lately. Now that Adwords is so difficult to deal with I thought I would start putting in the work to really rank high for my keywords. One tool that many marketers seem to miss is Yahoo Answers. Basically if you are knowlegable about a subject you can give answers to questions about your subject and include up to 10 relevant links back to your websites or blogs. Notice I said relevant links not just spam links. You need to really contribute an original thoughtful response to the question.

I have been trying to rank high for the keywords "ppv traffic" for my site Realppvtraffic.com .(I am already on the first page of Google.) So I went to Yahoo Answers and just logged in with my yahoo email. I then searched Yahoo Answers for the keywords "ppv traffic." I found a question asking about the legitimacy of ppv traffic and about the popular Mass PPV Traffic Clickbank course. Since, I know something about this subject I just answered honestly and completely. I gave a link to a review of the course, an explanation of what ppv traffic is and a list of networks (including mine!) where they could purchase ppv traffic. I did not just copy and paste an article but I wrote and original response to the question listing my sources.

You may see my Yahoo Answers response to the question "What Is PPV Traffic" here.

So now I have an article and link back to my websites on one of the highest ranked websites in the world. Plus I am coming across as an authority in my field. This just took me a few minutes. Whatever you are promoting I suggest you take the time to search through Yahoo Answers and answer relevant questions to your field. Respond thoughtfully to the questions and eventually you will have some very targeted, quality links coming back to your website as well as increased credibility in your marketplace.

Oh yes, and if you have a blog like this one go ahead and link back to your Yahoo Answers response like I just did for extra SEO and exposure! See you at the top of the search engines!

Matthew Meyer

P.S. If you have had experience using Yahoo Answers to promote yourself please let me know your experiences in the comments area right here. Thank you.

Masppvtraffic Review Order Process

This is a podcast of me ordering the Mass PPV Traffic course. I am showing exactly what happens after you pay your money.

Mass PPV Traffic Video Review

I went a little crazy and reviewed every single video in the popular Mass PPV Traffic Course. This course teaches you how to use ppv traffic also known as pay per traffic to get keyword targeted traffic like Adwords for just .001 cents per view. My overall impression is that the Mass PPV Traffic course is good and worth the money if you are going to actually listen to each video and take notes and apply what you learn. The info is solid. You just have to wade through their countless upgrades and side offers to get to the actual meat of the program. If you just want to go ahead and get the Mass PPV Traffic course click here. If you want more information check out all the videos below where I review in detail every part of the course. Heck, you will know most of what is in the course just by listening to my videos for free. (I went a little overboard.) I have an ulterior motive though. I want to rank number 1 in Google for the term "ppv traffic." I am not looking to just sell their course. I want to promote my ppv traffic site Realppvtraffic.com through SEO so sure I will make a commission if you purchase the course but my main objective is not to sell Mass PPV Traffic courses but to improve my SEO for the term "ppv traffic." Time will tell!

This video reviews the "Setting Up A Campaign With Media Traffic" video from Mass PPV Traffic.



This video reviews the "Setting Up Category Targeted Campaigns" video of the Mass PPV Traffic course and gives my final impressions on the course. Ok, I will just tell you. The course is good once you actually get to it. You do not need all the upsells. Most of the stuff they are upselling you can find for free. But I really learned from this course so for me it is easily worth the $77.



I believe in their philosophy of using ppv traffic to build a targeted mailing list that you can market to over and over. If you just link directly to your website without any follow up system most people will not buy on just a quick pop up. But if you can market to them over and over again you have a much better chance of converting that visitor. I also like that they encourage split testing and simple landing pages with one simple call to action.

Following their advice can really increase your chances of making your ppv traffic campaigns convert. If you would like to actually get the full Mass PPV Traffic course see here now.

What Is Your Favorite Web Hosting Company

If you are looking for VPS or dedicated servers just sign up with Servint. You cannot lose. I have been with them for years. To say their customer service is excellent simply does not do them justice. Any time day or night for years they have solved my most difficult technical problems quickly and with total competence and professionalism.

Even when I have had problems which really were not within the parameters of web hosting support they dived in and helped me. And they are good. Really good technically. The tech support staff that you first contact are their top line people. Some web hosting companies put their less experienced people on the first line of calls and then if the problem is too difficult they kick it up to the more experienced techs. I have never come up with one issue that their first line tech support could not handle. If you are looking at dedicated servers or VPS servers then a couple of dollars difference in prices is not what you should be looking at. Your web business is too valuable to be down even for a few hours. You need the peace of mind knowing you have professionals managing your web presence. I have been online for over 10 years and I have tried many web hosting companies. I give Servint an A++ rating. Fantastic company.

Another company which is superb for VPS and dedicated servers is Liquid Web. I rarely use their tech support because everything just works all the time. You order the server and it works immediately. This is actually quite rare. Many times the servers are not set up right, the DNS set up is not complete, and you have to go through a whole dance to get your server up and going. You are almost shocked when you log in for the first time and everything just works! The first time. Liquid Web is also a good business web host. They understand the needs of busy sites and want to do everything they can to see you succeed online. The few times you need tech support they respond quickly and competently. For managed dedicated servers and VPS servers I highly recommend Liquid Web. I have personally used both Servint and Liquid Web for years.

If you are looking for shared hosting you might check out Host Gator. I do not personally use them because I do not use shared hosting. My needs have grown. They have very competitive packages and are one of the largest companies out there for shared hosting. HostGator is one of the world's top 10 largest web hosting companies with more than 2,500,000 hosted domains. You can get web hosting starting at $4.95 per month for UNLIMITED Disk Space and UNLIMITED Bandwidth. This is good is you are just getting started with your own website and domain which I highly recommend.

So my recommendations for dedicated and VPS servers are:
1. Servint
2. Liquid Web

You may wonder why I do not list more companies. I have tried many dedicated server hosting companies and most of my experiences have been negative. It is amazing. Problems with hacking, not understanding how busy sites work, lack of basic technical competence, poor overall support and on and on. I wish I had a bigger list great companies but the companies above have been tested by fire. They are first rate.

My recommendation for shared hosting is Host Gator. I do not use them for my sites but they have very competitive packages for beginners. What are your favorite hosting companies? Please tell me the reasons behind your choice. This is an important topic and we can all benefit from each others experiences.
