Do you want to harness the power of your Youtube video to drive traffic to your Blog? If you are using Wordpress, you can easily embed video from YouTube into your blog posts. This article will show you how to do that, and once you complete the process once, you will be able to add more Youtube Video to your Blog Post in just seconds.
Okay, here are the three key steps required to add Youtube Video to your Blog:
- Upload Your Video to Youtube.
- Download and install the Wordpress Plugin named “Smart Youtube.”
- Place your embed code into your Wordpress Blog Post by copying the video URL from Youtube to your post and changing http:// to httpv:// (notice the ‘v’ character). The video will be automatically embedded to your post in the proper way.
For example:
If you want to post a high quality/HD video you would use httpvh:// (‘vh’ for video high)
To embed a playlist use extension ‘vp’
Additionally, you can set how do you want the video to be displayed in your RSS feed. Smart Youtube can show the preview image of the video (automatically grabbed from Youtube), the link to the video, or both. One recommendation is to enable only the preview image.
If you want to go to the source for more information, here is a link to see instructions on how to embed YT videos in Wordpress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-youtube/installation/.

Good luck!
Creating quality content for your blog can be an overwhelming task, especially if you’re not an experienced writer. You will find that the more you write, the easier the exercise becomes. This is the system I use when I write articles for the Unilyzer blog.
TIP #1: Plan Your Articles
Map out 20 -30 article titles ahead of time. This keeps your topic mix fresh and helps avoid writers block. If you know the direction you’re going, you don’t have to re-think each time you sit down to write a blog post.

Do you want traffic on your website? Do you want traffic you don’t have to constantly pay per click? Well the answer is content. You need to have more than just a 5 page website brochure if you want to build organic (not paid for) traffic. The best way to add more pages to your website is through a blog. Don’t use a third party blog, you want one hosted on YOUR website so YOU get all the benefits.

Pings are a simple way to tell other sites to check your blog for the new content that you’ve posted. Each time you hit publish it sends out a ping to the sites you define in your WordPress settings.
