So far the traffic has been minimal. Hits from my "channel" in the last 2 weeks has been about 50+, and direct traffic is undetermined. Being "un-targeted traffic" doesn't help either. So, was it worth it? Yes and no. Yes, because I enjoyed creating the 2 videos, and no, because it may have been a waste of my "marketing time". So here is my conclusion. Traffic from YouTube can be effective if your video becomes "popular", giving you a larger some of "intereted" traffic. In other words, if you receive 50,000 video views, and 10,000 people go to your URL, then 2000 are interested in your content...it was well worth it. What makes a video popular? To many "unpredictable" factors to even bopther listing...mostly it's dumb luck. That being siad, will I create another? Probably. Will it be soon? Doubtful.

If your videos were more targeted toward your niche the outcome may have been different

This is true, however, when the niche is "web tools", creating a video that isn't just a plug is difficult to do...any suggestions would be helpful.
