Traffic Geyser can “grab” YouTube videos so you never have to compress again!
Uncategorized Add commentsNever compress videos again – here’s a sneaky YouTube trick.
Traffic Geyser just added a really cool new feature to the premium video player.
First, let me explain why this is such a big deal and why you’ll care.
YouTube is great because…
- You can host your videos for free
- You can put a player on your web site
- You can advertise and promote your stuff
- Your videos Shows up in search engines.
But if you put YouTube videos on your web site, it’s unprofessional and here’s why:
YouTube shows ads during or after your video plays and then thumbnails might display “inappropriate” content.
Worse yet, it’s SUPER EASY for a competitor to “load” their videos with your keywords or “tags” so their videos show up after yours plays!
Why lose the sale because of something like that?
There are several frustrations most “video marketers” have:
- Compressing videos into the popular “FLV” format is a pain the butt. The software it takes to do this is expensive…
- Hosting videos can be expensive and complicated.
- Picking, installing and using a custom Flash video player is a TOTAL PAIN.
- Even if you do find and pick a custom video player, they’re often inflexible and lack the features marketers need
Traffic Geyser solves all that and this video explains how.
Here’s what you do:
- Upload your videos to YouTube
- YouTube compresses the video – no software required
- And it’s faster than software you’d buy
- Grab the YouTube link
- Paste it into Traffic Geyser’s “Premium Video Player”
- Traffic Geyser copies the YouTube FLV file from YouTube to your Traffic Geyser account
- Paste our custom player on your web site, blog, squeeze page
- Add special marketing features like forms, buttons and web site redirects when the video finishes playing
- You make more money
It’s easy, fast and free. Try it yourself!
PS – the video you’re watching was compressed with YouTube! We wouldn’t ask you to do something we wouldn’t do ourselves!
PPS – if you’re not a Traffic Geyser member already, register now for an account and get more traffic, leads and sales.

that is pretty awesome – especially the form that is built into the video. so glad you thought of making the code auto update across all sites – smart feature.

This is great but does it support HD video from YouTube?

Mike,
I got a jump on using your Premium video player a couple of days ago before you posted this vid. THIS MAY BE THE BEST PART OF TRAFFIC GEYSER! The form/buttons/redirect are phenomenal — talk about getting prospects to take action!
I’ve gone through the torture of learning how to generate FLV files. But, regardless, the forms and buttons are just great! Thank you!

Follow up to adding it to gray box Just in case there happens to be someone else in the world other than me that uses that technology.
All you have to do is take the code that you get from your video and paste it in a text file then save it as an html.
Once you have that just upload to your server and your link to your new .html file is just like your You Tube link or your s3 link.
This might be the coolest idea since sliced bread and just saved me at least an hour everyday

This is OUTSTANDING technology. I have been fighting with video formatting for my website this entire week, trying to get high quality, low buffer times and easy to use players…and it was all here in my Traffic Geyser account.
THANK YOU SO MUCH…I just wish I had noticed this earlier…would have saved me some serious headaches and time.

Absolutely brilliant player – I’ve already started changing my websites over to using it.
Just one Question. How do we replace or turn off the TG logo as the player loads?
Regards,
Mark

That Is Dope Mike! Wow – seriously. So maybe someone asked this already and I am missing it, but are there stats available for button CTR, form optin, etc? And which autoresponders are the player forms compatible with? Thanks a million man – literally!
