Drive Traffic To Your Website With Video And Rank In Google's Top Ten

I believe one of the best ways to drive traffic to your website and have a better chance of getting on Google's first page is by creating videos.

Search engines LOVE the video sites like YouTube and the many others out there. If you have a blog or website and you want the search engines to find you and help drive traffic to your site, you should make a video that includes your website or blog address in every frame of the video or at the very least--in the beginning and at the end of the video.

Search engines crawl the video sites ALL the time and your video can literally end up on Google's first page within twenty-four hours.

Your video doesn't even have to be that good--not to say that you shouldn't try to at least make a decent looking video, but your goal is to get your video ranked high in the search engines for a specific long-tail keyword.

You want to use long-tail keywords in your video submission to help you in your Google ranking. For instance, I made a video about a local restaurant my family and I visited. We all loved the burgers, so I made a short video, and used the long-tail keywords, "best burgers in Chester County" in my submission process to the top video sharing sites. I had researched this keyword phrase and felt confident that I could rank in Google's top ten with it. Check out my video below:

Guess what? I was right. Within twenty-four hours, I had the third, fourth and fifth spot on Google's first page for "best burgers in Chester County. Check out the screen shot. This shows two of the three spots highlighted.

In addition, it's important to add your video to the social bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon, etc. Also, add it to your FaceBook and MySpace pages. Why? Because you can rank just as high on Google for those links as let's say, a YouTube link. The search engines do not recognize video links as duplicate material so you could realistically hold the top 10 spots on Google for a specific search term for your video links.
