Video optimization is becoming more important as mainstream aspect to search engine optimization. The best way to optimize your video content is to think about the user and who you want to engage with your video. Be smart about it, don't just post a video for the sake of posting a video. Consider your audience, their language and their needs.

I am also looking for the same query of video optimization.
Thanks for sharing friends.

 

I actually happen to be very very good at this, and its how I started in IM about a year ago. Im not going to give you all my gems, but I will tell you one very big one. USE STOP WORDS IN THE TITLE TAG.

If your keyword is "replica rolex watch", do NOT make a video called replica rolex watch. You need to set yourself apart without changing the meaning of your title tag...which is where stop words come into play.

Examples would be;

Got My New Replica Rolex Watch!
Why Not Get A Replica Rolex Watch Instead?

etc... Google for a stopword list. This is a useful tip for all title tags, as people have no idea how to optimize them from what I see. Use words that do NOT change the meaning of the video/page, but DO seperate it from the rest of the junk ass spam.

Happy Optimizing

PS: Do NOT use youtube for anything. ANYTHING. EVER.

 

That last comment is quite useful!
