Sep 22nd

Two recent examples of companies and bands who have jumped on the band wagon are the bed intruder auto tune remix and

As you can see in the second example they are using some good link baiting ideas with a link in the description of the video and also a watermark link.
I would advise on the following for viral videos been uploaded to Video websites -
1. Link in the description.
2. Link in the video title if possible.
3. Tags on the video for relevant terms.
4. Adding a water mark to the video.
5. Adding as much content as possible to the video discretion.
6. Adding add on’s to the video i.e. little tabs which pop up at specific times to drive users to destinations.
