I have never put up a video on Youtube; however, I am about to have a new, 75-second animated video that is a spoof of monster movie trailers. It is targeted to Data Center managers and Network managers who I hope will find the movie trailer amusing and perhaps pass it around to their colleagues, etc. My "monster" causes all kinds of data center and network problems that these folks run into on a regular basis. My goal is to get my network cable business more exposure, of course. So, I would appreciate suggestions as to how to get maximum exposure for the video on Youtube. I know that keywords will be a key component but I am not sure if I should use monster movie trailer keywords, or networking problem keywords, a combination of both or perhaps something else? I also am not sure of how many such keywords are optimal? Beyond keywords, I am not sure what else I should be considering or doing to get more visibility on Youtube? Thanks in advance for any help offered.
