hi guys, as i believe you all noticed that youtube ranks so well on many many keywords, so is it because it belongs to google hence have special advantages or simply because many site links to its videos?
can this help increase my rankings and traffic? thanks.

Google does not give special advantage to its websites in its rankings. They are #7 for 'search engine'. If they were going to manipulate things, don't you think they would be #1 for that?

Youtube is a very well linked website. Think of how many links youtube naturally attracts every day. Even if that specific video doesn't get many external links, it still has internal links from other strong pages. Plus their website is huge and constantly growing. This is why youtube videos rank well.

Some marketers do use YouTube to help improve traffic and rankings.

there are a lot who use youtube for marketing purposes..youtube concept attracts more visitors..

its because many site links on youtube.. and they are one of the pioneer when it comes to video streaming.. so its pretty obvious..

If you want to rank high on google. you need to get traffic, a good amount of traffic might be a probable reason why youtube videos are always ranked high.

People love to watch video's Its the nuber one way to go viral. Remember the Starwars video kid? He has a whole following because of a short video.

Youtube is proving to be a very good marketing avenue. Just a few months ago they started showing ads on the videos in order to make. I know several Marketers that use Youtube for their businesses and it works great for them.

^ Yeah I also notice it. Youtube is now in the field of marketing your site. Youtube is doing a great job.
