By Charlie C Jameson

YouTube is one of the most frequently visited websites on the internet. If you are running a blog or website then you must know that in your quest to drive traffic to them YouTube can play a vital role. YouTube is a social media site that helps millions of users to create and upload videos to be viewed. These videos allow the users to comment and share their thoughts.

Instructions on how to use YouTube to generate more traffic for your own websiteYou can use these videos to attract traffic to your YouTube page, from where this traffic can be directed to your website. But as alluring and tempting it sounds, you may not fully know how you can accomplish this feat. For that reason this article will explain the basics of how you can drive traffic to your own website or blog through YouTube.

The first step that you need to take is to create a new video that is related to your website or blog. You will then upload it on your YouTube page. Make sure it's interesting and worth seeing.

Check the competition out

Now you have to search on YouTube for the videos that are related to your own website theme. This means that you will be looking for your competitors on the internet who have websites similar to yours. Select the most popular ones and see what your competition is offering to the audience. You can then leave a comment or two on that video as well.

Leave your trail

Once you have gone through the video you will have to sign back in to your YouTube account. When you are online you need to create a video response. This can be done easily by clicking on the "post a video response". This button will be found just above the section where people post their video comments.

You will now add the video that you first created. You will first attach it by clicking on the tab called "choose a video". Do remember that this doesn't mean that you can attach a video from your computer; you will have to upload it from your own account. Therefore remember to upload it to you own channel first.

Now click on the tab that is called "respond with this video". This will create a video response that you can then use to respond to your competitors videos. Remember in the section below that details the information about the video, you must post your website link and also other

Why Ethernet Is Your Most Cost Effective Option For Business

By Jon Arnold

There is a lot of misinformation out there about what Ethernet is, and since the term has become popular, even many of the cable companies are saying they now provide "Ethernet". While that may be true from a technical perspective, Ethernet from a cable company is still the over-subscribed and over-saturated network that you get with typical cable. As the saying goes, you can put lipstick on a pig but....

Ethernet solutions from real carriers who provide dedicated connections are not for residential use or home businesses, simply because the price for 3-4 users can rarely be justified. But if your business is at a point where you are looking at using, or perhaps are already using a T1 line or maybe even a bonded T1 line, and almost without a doubt if you are using a DS3 or OC-x circuit, Ethernet is by far a much more cost effective connectivity solution.

The bad news is that Ethernet is not available everywhere. While a T1 circuit, bonded T1 circuit, and even for the most part, a DS3 circuit can be installed just about anywhere you can get a phone line installed from your local phone company, Ethernet is not nearly as widely available. But that said, it is becoming more and more available every day across the nation, and indeed across the world. Ethernet solutions are available in just about every major city today, and if your business is located in or near a city with a population of 100k or more, chances are pretty high that Ethernet options are available to you today.

How much more cost effective is it? Much of that depends on what kind of Ethernet you want to get. At the lower end, there is EOC or Ethernet Over Copper, sometimes also known as EODS1 or Ethernet Over DS1. Those types of circuits, as the name implies, are delivered over copper lines and can start as low as 3 MB. But that 3 MB Ethernet circuit is probably going to cost as much as HALF as much as the SAME bandwidth of a two bonded T1 circuit. If you really need a fiber connection, your lowest end option is going to start at 10 MB Ethernet, but again, that 10 MB Ethernet circuit on what is known as Fast Ethernet is going to cost about half as much (or even less) as equivalent bandwidth on a bonded T1 or fractional DS3. Above 100 MB Ethernet, now you get into Gigabit Ethernet.

Let's talk for a moment about copper versus fiber, since this seems to be a point of confusion and more general misinformation. For a given level of bandwidth, say 10 MB, two circuits both delivering 10 MB of bandwidth, one on copper and the other on fiber, will finish in a dead heat. Fiber is not faster, contrary to what many believe. But fiber is able to be upgraded to higher levels of bandwidth, whereas copper starts to peter out at higher levels of bandwidth, but at about the 10-15 MB level, even as much as 20 MB in some major cities, there is NO speed difference between copper and fiber.

If you are looking for your best value for Business Ethernet services from a reliable and rock-solid carrier who will provide dedicated Internet services to your business with leading Service Level Agreements, check out what might be available in your area from amongst the 35+ carriers we represent, where we guarantee that the price we offer from those carriers is the lowest that they will offer, even if you go to the carrier directly.

Don't throw money down the drain if you don't need to. In these economic time, businesses need and want to maximize the money they spend for communications costs, and utilizing Business Ethernet for your connectivity needs is a great place to start.
