View Counts
Google notices the "view counts" of each video on YouTube. This counts towards popularity of that video. It's a lot like sharing a post or link on social media and then it gets RE-shared by a bunch of people. It creates a "buzz". So, this does the same for YouTube videos. The more views AND the more likes, the better. Also, the more places the link for that YouTube video appears, the better - much like how often your website's link appears on other websites, the better (provided they are quality websites).
Okay, moving on......
If you haven't promoted your YouTube video by itself, you should. Many search results for keywords will reveal a YouTube video ranking NUMBER 1! Some affiliates earn money via YouTube ALONE! Yep, without a website.
But, I prefer to have my associated videos embedded within my pages.
I just found out a really cool technique to not only show my video on my Wealthy Affiliate Review page, BUT to also reveal the Current View count just below (or wherever I want) !
Check this out.... notice the highlighted area:
Is that COOL or what??
Okay, so maybe it's not so cool to many of you. But, I think it's really cool!
