Aside from YouTube, blogs are the most viewed marketing mediums on the web. Blogs are useful for marketing everything when you use a little bit of imagination, but those blogs that allow for embedding of video are especially useful when it comes to increasing YouTube traffic.

Sites like Blogger and PNN are free to use and offer the ability to embed videos from YouTube. People who use those sites often browse through others' blogs as well and when they find an interesting video, they often embed it into their own blogs. PNN is a fairly new social networking/blog spot, but it is growing rapidly. If you do it right, your videos may receive dozens of views in just a day or two and if you continuously update your content, you will soon be rewarded with increased YouTube traffic.

Keep in mind that a blog is not very interesting if all it contains are embedded videos without any other content to go with it. A blog that contains only embedded video is akin to slapping an ad on a page and calling it a post. Take the time to write about the niche and summarize the content of the videos you are promoting. Visit other blogs that relate to your own content and leave honest comments to posts. If you are courteous and able to offer real feedback, other bloggers are more likely to leave your comments on their blogs.

Blogging is by no means the only way to increase YouTube traffic but it is of too much value to ignore. Signing up on free blogs is easy and there are no reasons for not utilizing them in YouTube and other marketing campaigns.
