website link into the video itself and make it clickable. Since the viewer doesn’t have
to undergo the hassle of seeing and typing the email address, you can be assured to
getting more visitors. Also, you can improve the prospects of your video through
content. YouTube allows meta tag descriptions, which means great SEO and also has
content such as headlines which again you can spruce up for SEO. You must also

You can make your account there and comment on videos and stuff. This means
people get to talking about your video and the product shown therein. This leads to
another awesome aspect of traffic generation, known as viral marketing.
