One way to increase the traffic to your blog is by adding unique content on a regular basics, and you can do this by posting your videos from YouTube or any other video sharing sites.

Before I show you the right way to do it, let me explain the wrong way to post videos on your site:

• The main problem with videos posts is that they're not completely optimized for the search engines!
  

That's it, you posts lack of full blog SEO (Search Engine Optimization) structure. Many bloggers post their media as the complete content because lack of time, laziness, or just looking for a little traffic. Yes, they add a good keyword rich title, and some relevant tags, but does it, and that my friends is not enough.


What you may not know is that no even the top search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask, or AOL cannot read the content of a video or image just yet, maybe in the future, I know Google has been working hard to accomplish this but no valid results yet.


So, if the engines can't read your content how can you get the full potential of your ranking. Your video post will not stand a chance against a regular written post. Yes, you can get some quality back links, but your competitors will still be ahead of you, because they have better on site optimization. Which send us to the solution...

Optimizing your post when all the information is in video format can be challenging for some, but is something that you must do to give your media a boost. Here some things you can do to have some written content with the media:

• Write an introduction to the content.
• List all the main point the information is going to address.
• Explain the problems the information is going to help your readers solve.
• Make a list of facts and myth about the problem.
• Provide extra tips or advice to add value to the post.
• Report what others are saying about the problem.
• Add any reviews about the content written by others.
