Search engine optimization might not be a new concept, but tailoring SEO to the hot trend of video search engines IS. Even big companies like Google are buying out entire video platforms. YouTube is a household name and it’s really not been around that long. There are more than 150 Video Search Sites online and the number is growing all of the time.

It’s a fact that uploading a video on video search engines and video sharing sites can garner you more traffic to your website than you ever imagined. I’ve heard of people driving sales of a single t-shirt design fully based on witty videos they have uploaded to YouTube. It’s a matter of striking while the iron is hot, so to speak and Viral Video Marketing is white hot.

So, how in the world do you make this phenomenon work for you? You’ve got the video, but how do you make sure it gets noticed on a video sharing site and how do you ensure that it will also drive traffic back to your site? There are definitely tried and true techniques when it comes to this medium.

I think this issue is of great importance to many of my regular blog readers. I know a lot of you are small business owners selling crafts. Many of you are using a “How To” tutorial video to entice your customers to spend more time on your site and to drive sales. It’s a great tool, but are people finding your video?

As for my fellow Bloggers, you already know how much buzz a unique video can drive to your blog. I’ve seen your work. Has anyone else? Getting the word out is key.
