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.
