TagTV: Flickr & YouTube

by Michelle MacPhearson

tagtv1__Small_.jpgFlickr’s the most popular photo sharing website, and YouTube’s the most popular video sharing website, so a mashup was obviously in order. TagTV does the job – enter in your tag and it’ll aggregate results from both sites to one neat page for your viewing pleasure.

I’m covering this because I want to highlight the importance of using sites like Flickr and YouTube to bring traffic to your website. There are tons of Flickr and YouTube widgets and plugins all over the web with people pulling content and publishing it to their own sites – and when the topic they’re posting on pulls in *your* content, that’s a backlink to you, that’s web browsers clicking through who would have otherwise never found you, that’s money in the bank.

Much like the old adage that Adsense sites sit around and make you money while you sip pina coladas, this is another method of distributing content on the web and waiting for the passive income to roll in. Once a video is on YouTube, it’s done, you’re done, people will stumble upon it and see your message.

Of course, there are other things (just like with Adsense sites) you can do to maxamize your visibility on these sites, but the basics are to just stinkin’ participate!

Consider this an adaptation of John Reese’s lecture/video on Virtual Real Estate. You can create Virtual Real Estate (VRE) beyone your own domains (that all stream traffic to your affiliate programs, to your domains, to your products), and once this concept is fully grasped, you’ll see the possibilities are endless.
