Video advertising to boost your traffic seems like an obvious choice these days and one of the most effective as well, since it is the video hosting sites that experience increasing popularity. People do not want to read text anymore, they need more graphic stimuli.

Video boom obviously started with YouTube a company founded by a couple of guys in a garage. Today it is a multimilion venture that assosiates people from all over the world in a sole purpose of watching online videos. And people do not just want to watch, they willingly make and upload their materials making them public.

The question is: "why not to exploit such popular medium to the benefit of boosting traffic to our website?" And I am sure many people do just that! However, how much time exactly it takes to make a video, describe it and upload it. Now, if you are doing that for fun, uploading a video from your friendly drinking binge, it does not really matter. but if you do this on regular basis, desperately trying to promote your site and try to make other people see it, then this exercise could be frustrating.

We at FreeStuffDotCom discovered three essential factors had to be met in order to make your promotional video accessible to a wide public.

• Multiple submissions

Obviously it is not enough to add our video content to one, two or even ten video hosting sites. The more the better and the time devoted to this could put us off quickly.


• Finding the right kewords

Even with video- keywords do matter a great deal. This happens so since to each video file we provide title, description and keywords associated with the content. Thus by clever keyword manipulation we can significantly increase hit ratio.


• Video quality and content

Submitting junk may get us banned or blocked and the clicks will not convert. People simply won't be in any way compelled to visit our site.

In an ideal world what we need here, would have to be:

• a reliable & easy to use keyword research tool to find nice, low competition, related to our video content keywords and phrases that, when entered into video title and description, would secure high search engine rankings


• a fast easy to use video submission software that would blast our promo vid to multiple video hosts with a single click of a mouse


• super-easy-to use software to edit or make our videos that allows to add our URL or different types of subtitled content.

We at FreeStuffDotCom all agree on one thing- we do not live in an ideal world! Nevertheless, it did not stop us from finding the necessary tools just to make our world... well... almost perfect.
