I was a member of Traffic Geyser for a year or so and simply loved it for pushing out content quickly and easily (once you were all set up -:)). I am still getting hits to some affiliate products that I promoted and I highly recommend Traffic Geyser if you have the extra $97 each month. But for me it was time for an experiment utilizing my new found knowledge of free products.

Plus, after a while I found some free resources, including Tube Mogul, did the important stuff so I have gone the free route for a while to check it out.

Before leaving Traffic Geyser I wanted to make a list of all the accounts that I signed up for while setting up my account there.

The list is pretty darn good so after breaking it out for review I thought I would share it with you.

The list includes Videos Sites, Podcast Sites, Social Bookmarking Sites, Status Sites and Article Submission Sites,

A total of 81 sites excluding the Blog Sites (which you enter your own).

Here they are broken down by category.

I hope this helps you out. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!

I just came across a great article from Brian Hawkins on connecting and sharing links at The Extreme Ezine. This could create a good amount of back links for everyone if we all do this correctly (no spam, advertising links, squeeze pages, etc).

Just think about the amount of “link juice” we can create if we all subscribed to each others Blog, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts and leave comments. I’ll leave a comment to get us started.

Leave your links and I will reciprocate. Come on everyone! Lets get “JUICED”!

A great way to drive additional traffic to your main site is to create a YouTube channel to hub all your videos. This can be an excellent source of free traffic and we all can use more free traffic, cant we?

I started my YouTube video channel for The Guru Hub. Check it out to see all the videos I have posted.

I started The Guru Hub to create content to help others get started online. The plan was to base it a round a series of “how to ” videos to show you exactly how I did a lot of the things I did. There just isn’t anything better than video do accomplish this.

Along the way I started posting most of the videos to YouTube to create some additional free traffic but never knew it could all have a “home” for free on YouTube.

Your YouTube Channel will be your place to hub all your videos and pre-sell your cutomers on stopping by your main site. There are a couple main items that you should include or focus around to make this happen. I picked up some of this from Julie Perry who is now at Blast Media and has created an informative blog post called “7 Ways to Get Website Traffic From YouTube” on this topic.

First things first, remember the goal of your videos and your YouTube channel, to pre-sell your customers on a specific product, your business, your service, or all of the above. Keep this in mind as you create your videos (if you need help creating videos I have a free “how to ” video here)

Next, always lead off with your description with your main page URL. And make sure it is “clickable”! By this I mean add http:// to the front of your web address. This will make your web address a link to your site. This is very important because you want people to be able to click right over to your site quickly while you have their attention.

Try your hand at creating and customizing your YouTube channel and I will create a followup post on how to customize your channel a bit later, but for now just get it up and running as it can be a great traffic generator for you.

Generate Free Traffic From YouTube – Add as a Friend

One of the best ways to generate free traffic off of YouTube is to add friends who leave positive comments on related sites.  This gives your site extra exposure that it would not have had you not posted the response.

A couple things you want to make sure you get right when adding viewers as friends:

1) Make sure your video channel is relevant to the subject of the person your are adding as a friend.

2) Check to see that no negative comments have been posted, you don’t want a downer as a friend posting negative comments on your site.

3) Search through highly visited videos and search through each persons site that posted a positive comment.

4) Always try to add value to the person you are adding.

5) Repeat

Generate Free Traffic From YouTube – Post a Video Response

One of the best ways to generate free traffic off of YouTube is to post a video response to a highly viewed video. This gives your video extra exposure that it would not have had you not posted the response.

A couple things you want to make sure you get right when posting a video response:

1) Make sure your video response is relevant to the subject of the video you are responding too.

2) Check to see that video responses are accepted.

3) If your response does not appear immediately move on to another video.

4) Each one of your videos can only be used as a video response once.

5) Try to add value to the original post.
