A big thank you to Norene Broyton for pointing me in the direction of Kim Roach’s website
which is a gold mine for articles and tips on generating traffic.
As I’m currently creating marketing videos to promote a limousine company, I was fascinated to read a little used technique that can dramatically increase your YouTube video views.
Video Response
What is a Video Response?
As you know, YouTube allows viewers to rate and comment on the videos they have watched.
A Video response is just another method of responding to YouTube videos.
Why should I post a Video Response?
Video Response provides you with an opportunity to piggy back popular videos. (As long as it is relevant).
It is a video marketing technique to increase the number of views your video receives by association with related content that has already received a high number of views.
How to create a Video Response:
Upload a video to YouTube.
Find a related video (on YouTube), that has LOTS of views.
Post a video response.
Look underneath the video in the section called “Video Responses”.
On the right hand-side you’ll see a blue link that says “Post a Video Response”.
Click on that link and you will then be taken to a page where you can post a video response.
Click on the link in the middle that say, “Choose a Video”.
Select one of the videos you have already uploaded on YouTube and click on the button that says, “Respond with This Video”.

I’ve added video responses to a couple of limousine videos that are getting lots of hits and I’ll let you know what impact it has.
Please share any success you have using this technique.

Hey John,
Thanks for the shout-out, I appreciate it! I’ve got to get into video! Unfortunately I feel like I have a face for radio only! I have to get over that! Great post — great reminder to get out of my comfort zone. -Norene

No Problem Norene, you deserve the credit for pointing me towards BuzzBlogger.com
Oh and remember, videos can be a series of pictures or screen shots promoting a product of in the form of a ‘how to ..’ guide.

Perhaps, the most important reason why you should leave comments on a video website is to make your opinions known.
Many internet users leave positive comments when they have viewed a video that they thought was well put together.
In addition to positive comments, there are also internet users who leave negative comments, as well.
If you were offended or left unsatisfied by watching a video, you can leave a negative comment.
When leaving a negative comment, it is advised you be as tasteful as can be. You will not just want to say that the video stunk,
but you may also want to offer helpful suggestions.
Absolutely agree, positive and negative comments are useful dialog.
Adding a related video clip is just a useful technique to help get your own video noticed.
