Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Computer, Creativity

1. Go to YouTube.com. Search on your topic, find a very popular video related to your search term. See if you can trace it back to the originating web site. If the video is "really" popular, there's a good chance that others have done exactly what you just did. Contact the web site or blog owner and negotiate the placement of a well targeted ad or banner, optimized for that specific URL or web site. Find the traffic and stand in front of it!
2. Go to YouTube.com. Enter a search term. Choose "view count". This sort allows you to sort videos base on videos that have been viewed the most. This is another hidden jewel within the YouTube "search option" feature. When sorting your search by "view count", you'll be conveniently provided with information that tells you which videos were viewed the most. In some cases, tracing the source of the video back to it's original home can provide you with great ideas for advertising and promotional targets, not to mention traffic data for that specific URL.
3. Go to YouTube.com. Enter your search term. Choose "Statistics & Data". This feature allows you to see statistics & data about your search term. This sort feature can be especially useful when sorting YouTube search results. These groupings tend to attract people that are quite passionate about specific subject matter. If your marketing efforts are aimed at specific target markets, this is a great way to identify people that are interested in your market. URL’s are also noted.
   
   Use this strategy to find herds of people and "statistical data" about web sites, people and blogs that are interested in your target market. Most online marketers try to find web traffic opportunities and "lure" the traffic to their web portals. Using "statistical" search parameters on YouTube, you can find the market and go stand "smack dab", right in the middle of it. Find groups that are of interest to you and engage them in conversation.
