Draw Traffic By Embedding Viral Videos

Pay attention to viral videos at YouTube.

For example, five days ago, a couple posted their wedding video online. Instead of walking sedately down the aisle, they danced.

After five days, the video has already had 2,292,241 hits. So, you take a video like this that is extremely popular, and you embed it into your blog, using the same keywords and description that they used... and when people start doing google searches to try to find it... they will find it at your blog.

If it's a video that matches the concept of your blog, that's great. If it isn't, you just put OT in the header, like OT: Watch this great video. And in the body of the text say something like, "I know this is off-topic, but I saw this great video of YouTube of a wedding dance (or whatever) and thought I'd share. Then, "This is the JK Wedding Entrance Dance." Or, to give as much info for potential searchers, describe it a bit more, "This is the popular video of that couple who danced to Forever as they entered the wedding hall."
