How to increase position for a keyword in Youtube?

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by cincin, Dec 23, 2008.

    My question is about Youtube's own search engine.

    I have a video at youtube but the main niche of the video is included to the begining of the video title but it's a 3 letter and popular word. My video has good views number and rating but it's still shown in 5th page in the search result.

    Does anyone knows a way to increase search position for a search term in youtube?

    I am writing an article on SEO for youtube, once I finished it, I will PM you the link or post it here. Right now, all I can say is this, for ranking

    1. Ratings matters - get as many higher ratings as possible
    2. Description of video is very important
    3. Title (obviously) matters
    4. Number of Comments also count in ranking videos

    I can't confirm this but people say, the age of uploader's profile also matter as well as his authority. For example, I can see lot of videos uploaded by universal (official) and they all rank very well because the user profile of universal studios has overall 19million views.

    I believe poseidon gave a great response but for driving traffic from your video back to your site, you should be using a "call to action" on your video with an annotation Youtubes new feature found under edit video just up in the top right something like - find out more here >>>> and in the description the first line should have your link to your site. Make sure you have the http:// in front of your link so that it is clickable too. For future videos tho I would put the call to action directly in the video.
