Is Youtube a good promotional tool for websites and Blogs?

[froggyboy604]

I find since starting a Youtube channel about "computer help tutorials" my revenue earnings and visitor count for my websites gone up compared to just writing content on my website.

I only made 60 YT videos related to computer tutorials with my website links posted on the description and in the intro and outro of my videos. I also added as relevant tags for my video, and made sure to write a great video description in the video description area, so people can find my videos via Youtube search better.

Youtube video search seems less Competitive vs Google Search when it comes to ranking at the top of search listing results.

Plus, it seems to bring more targeted traffic to my sites compared to other methods like Twitter, social bookmarking, and submitting to search engines.

I notice my videos are in the first page when I search for them on Youtube, but my website articles or article submisions are not on the front page when I search for them on Google search for them.

It depends if your youtube channel is really popular, as in you got more than a thousand subscribers, and most of your videos has 10000+ views.

That's not really a strong statement. Every Youtube channel started from 1 subscriber, 1 view and 1 video. From that point, they got bigger and bigger. You can't just assume you must have xxxxx views etc.

Youtube can get you good traffic assuming you provide quality videos and really put your heart into designing your channel.

Is it also worth it uploading to MetaCafe, Dailymotion, Veoh, and other social video sharing sites since uploading takes a bit of time, but I think it is easier to get your video ranked in the most view section on some less popular video sharing sites?

Uploading takes a lot of time, and writing the description and tags also take a fair bit of time.
