There are many good ways to drive traffic to a YouTube video (or Revver,
WeMedia, etc.).

One way is to display a link to the YouTube page where the video sits, put
that link on your blog or website or wiki. You can have an embed player, to
enable ppl to view the video on your site, or you can just let ppl go to the
YouTube page.

By sending your web site visitors to the YouTube page, you add one step to
the process, but you gain another hit on the video, which will show up on
the page, and thus add to the traffic count that other YouTubers  will see.

In my blog,  have a link to "My Most Popular Comedy Video" at YouTube,
called "How To Get a Job Interview". It has a lot of hits (around 500 by now
maybe more) for an obscure little web analyst in Peoria.
