- Fill-out Your video details Put important keywords at the front of your video titles, include them in your description, and tags. Do not over-do it, just put keywords that are relevant and are being based on your keyword resezrch. Allow your videos to be embedded. Otherwise, viewers will only be able to see your videos on YouTube.
- Use the "featured videos" section If you are certain that your video will be a major hit, then use YouTube's paid "Featured Videos" service to get video seen by many people in a short amount of time. Once the video takes off, your organic traffic will usually out-do your paid traffic.
- Insert links in your videos Use annotations to insert links to other videos to maximize every viewer. Do not over-do this either. Make sure that annotations do not impete the viewing experience.
- Interact with high value users Find users on YouTube who are active and add value through their participation in the social network. Get your video in front of them-without spamming so that they can do part of the work for you. Your video will also benefit with more traffic. Thanks to increased comments. YouTube will be soon be implementing new features to increase the amount of social interaction on the website.
- Use Social Media With built-up and relevant social media accounts, get your video seen by more people. By "relevant" I mean that your friends and your user history should be somehow related to the topic of your video for it to get more qualified traffic. My favorite sites for video sharing are Digg, Twitter and StumbleUpon.
- Rinse, Wash and Repeat Go back and start over. Look at what you can improve about your videos and continue to keep your video channel page fresh with more videos!
