Hey, welcome to the third video but YouTube traffic. In this video we're going to talk about backlinks and how to get your video ranking high on Google backlinks or otherwise known as inbound links are important for optimization within Google universal s RPS. And this video will give you ideas and tips as to how to develop backlinks to your videos. For the most part, these techniques can be used to develop backlinks to any site, but I'll focus more on strategies that are sure to work for YouTube rankings. By getting links to your site and your videos. Search engines will see the links and add them into your total score.

Google for instance, takes a look at the PageRank of the site that is linking to determine how important that link is, the higher their PageRank the more important the link, but how do you go about getting those backlinks? Well, before we get started, it's important to mention several things. First off, we focus in white hat and gray hat SEO and do not want to encourage spamming with regard to link strategy. With that in mind, make sure you link directly to a video page and be careful in over submitting and developing links to fast. Google will consider this to be unnatural and you may get penalized. Finally tried to get links from relevant websites and web pages.

If you're looking to video about how to play guitar, it would be best to link your video from other guitar and music related web pages. Here are some of the ways to get those all important backlinks. The first way is to make some announcements about your videos. These are a great way to get others to backlink to you be putting out a small press release or emailing bloggers that might be interested in the video, you're sure to get some link back to the video. online forums are another place where you can spread the word. Drop a quick announcement in the appropriate places with a link back to the video offer relevant keyword and you should generate some interest traffic and hopefully for the backlinks.

Press releases are a great way to alert others to news content available on your site if the content in question is big enough to warrant it, there are many places that allow free distribution of press releases like PR leap 1888 press releases 24 seven press release and clip press. Be sure to include a link to the content in the press release as some bloggers and reporters will simply lift the press release and repost it somewhere else. Some of the sites will require a small fee for working links in the press releases, and usually it's worth the cost. Some of these do not always turn into excellent backlinks themselves, but when others pick up the releases and we post you will see some real benefits. Okay, the next method is simply to do some legwork. Sometimes the only way to get something done is to do it yourself.

And that means submitting your willing to online directories, social bookmarking websites, I like to use only wired.com etc. Whether you do it by hand or find a piece of software that will help this is a crucial step in getting backlinks. There are both free and paid directories. You can submit to They'll have some amount of PageRank there'll be links that are worth something and says the directories have a good amount of traffic, you should get some weight as well. If you have several blogs or sites yourself, be sure to interconnect them with backlinks and blurbs about what is happening on each one when possible, especially if some of your sites are well established. That means by now, they probably have a higher PageRank.

And so we better links, so be sure to tie all your own sites together in one way or another. Again, for white hat SEO, try to limit this to a few websites. You should not do this with more than a few websites. The next technique that I recommend is to give something away to get something back. Many places tell you to give something away or have something useful for the users. That's actually pretty good idea.

If you already have a video about something you can probably turn it into an E book as well. You can then take that ebook and offer it for free download from your site. Information ebook is good it will generate some backlinks and traffic. Of course, this is another way requires you to do some work and then let others know about the book being available, but the path is well worth the work in the end if done properly. My next technique is to use social bookmarking. social bookmarking sites are also a good place for backlinks.

If you have good content, be sure to submit it to places like Digg, Technorati delicious, etc. These are places that can generate a lot of traffic and sometimes a good heavy backlink as well. Other places like stumble upon calm will let you submit your site for links as well. Okay, so these are my top methods for building backlinks to your YouTube video and getting it to rank higher on Google very quickly, without doing any blackhat strategies that Google can discover and punish you for. Now you know everything you need to know about driving traffic to YouTube, and then getting that free traffic to your site or to an affiliate offer.
