Hello,

I have created some videos and post them on Youtube, but I don't see any traffic that come from this site from my log.

How do I get traffic from Youtube videos?

Is there any trick?

Thanks,

Have a nice day!

Short answer: steady, measurable work on discoverability and watch time wins. Building on what and noted about quality and relevance, focus less on one-off “tricks” and more on the parts of a video that actually make YouTube recommend it.

Design thumbnails and titles for clicks that keep viewers. Thumbnails should read at mobile size (use high contrast, big readable text and a clear subject), and titles should front-load the main keyword while staying natural. Hook viewers in the first 8–15 seconds; if retention drops fast, views won’t turn into traffic.

Make content easy to find and act on. Add accurate captions/transcripts so search can index more of your words and viewers with sound off can still follow. Use playlists or short series to increase session watch time. Use the first two lines of the description and a pinned comment to place a concise call to action and a trackable link (use UTM tags so your site analytics show which videos drive visits).

Test and iterate with data. Watch impression-CTR, average view duration and traffic-source breakdowns in YouTube Analytics to see whether search, suggested, browse, or external drives your views. If CTR is low, change the thumbnail; if retention is low, tighten edits. Grow through collaborations and niche cross-promotion rather than mass posting; a targeted collab brings engaged viewers who’ll follow links. Finally, avoid artificial view schemes — they hurt long-term visibility — and consider paid YouTube promotion only after you’ve validated creative and landing pages (so the spend scales effectively).

First of all, you should add tags to your youtube video to get visitors from their site. If you want more visitors fast, you could try traffic exchanges: You visit a site for a few seconds, and they visit your site(the youtube video). Just google for traffic exchange, there are lots them. You could try sites like LiveLinkCafe and Oseveno too.

Good luck!

Ok... Let me see if I can find the easiest way to explain this...

YouTube, like MOST of the social network sites if used, should have some sort of strategy with them.

1- When dealing with videos, you must ensure that the video is interesting, captivating, entertaining, and informative.
2- Add a URL link at the end of the video if you do not find a way to embed it in.
3- Add a short description of the video sending people to your site for further info.


Also remember that it depends greatly on the niche and the product. NOT every niche is apt for YouTube viewers. This means that perhaps the people you are targeting may not necessarily be looking for you in youtube.

Now, someone recommended Traffic Exchange sites... These are great to help establish your site and brand your product. There are TONS of them out there, but only the manual surfing sites really work at achieving site branding and product recognition.

Another thing you should do: Find other videos related in subject matter or otherwise similar and post comments either positive or negative, and urge others to check out your video on the same subject. Of course, if your video is not that great, chances are, word is not going to spread very far. If it's really, really good, it will.

Are your videos related to your website content? Do they add value to your website? Are you giving visitors who watch the YouTube videos a good reason why they should instantly follow up with a visit to your site? That last question is the doosey.

Simply submit your video on you tube and optimize the link by posting it on various video submission sites.
