If you operate a business, whether it is a brick and mortar store, or a completely internet-based business, you know that you have to advertise to get customers. People do not purchase what they do not know exists. You also are already aware of the fact that even if you have a brick and mortar storefront you have to have an internet website as well. 
More people shop from their computers today than in any other fashion. Therefore, you already know that you have to have a steady stream of website traffic in order to have a successful business.
What you may not realize is that YouTube traffic is enormous, and if you can be found on this site then you are going to get more visitors to your site. Here are a few reasons why:
People will follow links from a site that they find interesting to another site. If you want to increase website traffic to your pages, then linking them to a site that millions of people already view daily makes perfect sense.
Commercial videos are a great way to increase website traffic.
If you get people to view your video, then you can get them interested in your product or service, and you can get them to come to your web site and view the content on your pages. So remember that you need to capture their attention with the video, and you need to do so in the first seven seconds after they click on it. People usually make up their mind whether or not to view a page or a video in the first seven seconds.
If they stay with your video longer than seven seconds, there is a good chance, they will watch the entire thing, if they are not captivated in those seven seconds, and they are more than likely not about to follow a link to your pages.
YouTube traffic is formulated of all different demographics. You can reach all different socio-economic groups in one localized place. You also do not have to pay a large amount of money to place your video on this popular site, so you will save a lot of money on advertising costs.
The more frequently people see your product or service the more familiar they become with it. When people are familiar with something they feel safe and comfortable with it, so when they happen to need what you have to offer, or when they know someone that needs what you have to offer, they will automatically go to the site they are familiar and comfortable with. You will have more web site traffic just because more people are familiar with your name.
The main reason to post a video on a site like this one is the fact that it works for website traffic. These video sites along with the social media sites are the biggest attractions on the internet at this time. You want to be where the people are.
