YouTube has been one of  the top-3 most popular websites on the web for many years now, and this trend is not going to change. In fact, YouTube's traffic is going up exponentially year by year! Millions of people, from 5 to 85 years old, go to YouTube on a daily basis to look at videos of various topics. Now if you have published videos of your own on Youtube, you're probably wondering how you can get more people to find them, view them, and comment on them! Hopefully, this article will give you all the knowledge you need to achieve that!

To start with, here is a list of elemens that you should focus on, right from the start:

Video Title: just like a Website's title, your video title is extremely important. It's your 1st chance of catching visitors' attention. Make it catchy and engaging.

Do Video Replies: Find similar videos that have a lot of views, and reply to them with your own video. This is called a video reply and it's a great way of attracting additional views from relevant sources.

Choosing the right Thumbnail: The thumbnail is what people see whenever your video is displayed in the Youtube results. Quite often when you submit a video, the thumbnail that Youtube chooses is completely unrelated to the part of the video that you want to emphasize.

Choosing the right Category: This might seem obvious, but a lot of people overlook it. The category that you submit your video to is extremely important. Make sure it’s related to the topic of the video for maximum exposure & ratings.

Leveraging the power of Social Networking: Social networks eat up good videos. Digg and StumbleUpon are great platforms for advertising videos for free. A successful video on Stumbleupon could lead anywhere up to 100,000+ views over a few weeks, so go ahead and share those videos!

Embrace the Youtube Network: Just like above Youtube is a network of people. Network with them! Make friends, comment on their videos, rate their videos, tell them you’ve rated their videos & get them to do the same for you. Make communities & groups that you leverage traffic, views & ratings off.
