The downside to all of these videos is that if you don't properly categorize your video it may not get the exposure you
want.

Probably the most popular YouTube video category is comedy. The comedy section on YouTube is home to videos with
stand up comedy routines, improv, funny mishap videos, comedy spoofs, parodies, and even videos showing people
falling down and hurting themselves. If you've got a video that fits in the comedy category you can be sure that this
section is one that gets the most attention for Youtube visitors.

television shows, movies, reviews of movies , gossip, or amateur video bloggers reporting on current events.

Travel is a popular Youtube category that is often used to inform and educates viewers about popular travel destinations
and famous places. The travel video category on YouTube often features videos that people recorded while traveling on
the road or abroad. It's pretty common to find these travel videos showing you inside a popular place or taking you on a
video tour showing you tourist attractions. This type of video is great if you have a travel related website as often the
viewers of a particular destination would like to find out more about it.

One of the Youtube video categories that gets a lot of attention is the animals section. People love to watch videos about
pets and animals, whether they are doing something off the wall or funny, this is a category that does pretty well. Many
times videos submitted here are of people showing off their pets for everyone to see. If you catch a glipse of your pet
doing something funny, interesting, cute or unique, then there's a good chance someone would be interested in seeing
it. Adding pet videos gives you a great chance to link to your pet or animal related website to get some related website
traffic delivered to your pages.

The people/blog category is a pretty broad section in Youtube videos. Many times you'll find video bloggers in a wide
variety of situations talking about their favorite activities, ranting about political topics or just venting online. Often you'll
find people getting posting personal videos about themselves and discussing things that may often be better left unsaid.

to old-fashioned blogs, but use video instead of a lot of text to get their message across. YouTube members who use
video blogging often talk about the activities they're doing at that given moment. Sort of like a day in the life of, for
internet viewers to watch. Many times, you'll find video blogs put a humorous spin to the issues they talk about.

The previously mentioned YouTube video categories are only the tip of what's currently available. Other categories that
require mention for the online marketer, and may receive less viewers, but more targeted ones are the Do-It-Yourself
video and how-to categories.
