Traffic Geyser... Does it work?
-
We are looking at building a new video campaign starting with YouTube but have heard a lot about Traffic Geyser... Any thoughts feedback on it for getting our videos out and link building?

Here is a pretty honest looking review I found. The general rule of thumb is that these types of services have lost their value by the time they are bundled into a product and sold. It is a common practice in the black hat / automated software space to create an application, use it until it is no longer effective, then turn it into a product to be sold.
This is not to say that the product does not have features that may be useful to you, I just wouldn't expect it to be the "geyser" of traffic they claim it to be.

Hey,
I've not got any experience with Traffic Geyser myself, but I'd entirely second Russ's perspective on the product. It may be valuable to you, but it's a pretty expensive package and I would take all the claims with a massive pinch of salt and the knowledge that you could get slapped for using it.
If you're keen to just get views and exposure for your video - I would highly recommend both ploughing some PPC budget into the Google Display Network and paying for YouTube views that way (assuming your content is suitable). You could also look at a service like Unruly Media who I have experience with and would recommend. Unruly do viral seeding through blogger outreach - paying bloggers to embed videos and generate more views. All links are nofollow - so the service doesn't break any Google webmaster guidelines.
