Hi you 🙂 !!
in this article I want to talk to you about how to increase blog traffic with youtube
as I always say the main goal of a blogger is to increase the traffic of their blog
obviously you have to create quality and useful content this always and forever
but it is useless to have good content if no one comes to visit your blog
so a good blogger must always be looking for ways to increase visits to their blog

YouTube is a great option for bloggers to increase visits and buy new readers and as YouTube has a huge user base it would be a shame not to use this base to your advantage.
and above all because all types of blogs can benefit from this traffic and also because it is a totally free method
Here are 4 ways to increase blog visits with YouTube for free:
- Add the YouTube video of your blog article
- Optimize your YouTube profile for SEO
- Add Blog Links in your Videos
- Follow the progress of your videos
Add the YouTube video of your blog article
Whenever you write an article, consider creating its YouTube video as well
YouTube video does not have to be a professional video with background music and various transitions from clips
what you need to do is just add a video to content that can be complemented with a video, i.e. content where understanding of the content can be helped with video
the goal in this case is to create your presence on the YouTube platform so that the algorithm can find a suitable audience for your content
creating a presence on YouTube requires you to regularly post some videos on the platform so try to create small 3-5 minute videos where you comment on your articles
this is by far the easiest way to get started
Here are 3 free platforms to create your video content:
- Screen cast-o-matic (your computer screen recorder for mac and window)
- Shortcut (video editor for mac and window)
- iMovie (video editor for mac)
Optimize your YouTube profile for SEO
There is a really excellent reason why you should optimize your YouTube video .
To place your videos in the search results. It’s really easy to have a YouTube video that ranks in Google search results (SERPs)
It is very simple to optimize your YouTube videos for SEO
Here are some tips to follow:
- You have to find a good keyword, a keyword with little competition and a good search volume
- You have to put the keyword in the title of the video
- You must write some original content in your video description that describes the video content and contains the keyword
Add your Blog Links in Your Videos
Another thing you need to learn is to create internal links to your video that will drive traffic to your blog
the main places you can link to your video are:
1- the description of your video :
the video description is the space that is immediately below the Video and where you have to describe what the player will find in your video
its position just below the video is perfect for inserting links to your blog
remember: only 150 characters are allowed so try to be concise
2-your pinned comment :
video creators have the possibility to pin their comments, that is, to highlight their comment and so that it always remains at the top of the comments.
Use this strategy to link to your content so that when your readers comment on your video they are forced to see the link.
3-In the final screen of the video :
YouTube often use the final screen of the video to insert suggestions and propositions when reading other videos,
or to insert the button to subscribe to the YouTube channel and also to insert a link that can be used to lead readers to the blog
4-Add cards :
Tabs are those rectangles that appear at the top right of the video while the video is running, these links can be set in your profile and you can use them to insert the link to your blog
Follow your progress of your videos
This step is much underestimated by bloggers who create YouTube videos but it is important.
Monitoring your YouTube channel data allows you to understand which of your video formats work and which don’t
even if you don’t want to create a YouTube account to become a professional youtuber, monitoring the data allows you to understand which direction to follow for the growth of your YouTube channel
it is useless to continue creating video formats and dealing with topics that are of no interest, just focus on what works and do it on a large scale
Studio.Youtube.com is the place where you will find all the statistics of your YouTube channel
the main goal I remind you is to have your video in the top positions of Google search results to increase visits to your blog
to check this there is a section in studio.youtube.com where you can check me traffic sources of your videos
the only negative point of the YouTube manager is that he does not give you any other indication, that is, he does not tell you with which keywords the users are looking for you and with which they find you
information that allows you to optimize your content even more
but no problem this information can be found thanks to other software like the populated ahrefs and SEMrush
