Help Needed: How to Rank my YouTube videos?

    I have found that my videos get very few views from Google. I wanted to know the ranking of my videos in search engines and downloaded a software called Rank Tracker for doing this.
    Then I found a long-tail keyword that receives more than 8k visitors according to Google Keyword Tool. There are more than 42,900,000 competing results for this keyword yet my YouTube video ranks 83 in search results.


    Now I have 2 main questions:
    1. Is Rank Tracker a good software with reliable results so I can count on it when measuring my ranking? Anybody tried it?
    2. Is there ANY keyword tool which measures traffic coming from YouTube not from Google in general? I need this one instead of Google keyword tool which I think is not accurate in measuring YouTube traffic.


    Finally, if anyone has previous experience in ranking high using YouTube videos, please share it!


    Thanks,

    Rank Tracker is a very good tool to use, yes, but always use SE courtesy settings.

    Ranking YouTube videos is exactly the same as ranking and article/website. Use your titles and descriptions wisely, then create a good backlink strategy to push up the rankings.

    Getting a Video to Rank on Youtube & Google Videos
    has more to do with the Keyword Density not the views of the video.
    Use the Exact Keyword In your Title Alone - no extra characters.
    Use the Exact Key word again in your description several times
    and again in your tags. The shorter the description the more density
    your key word will have in the description.


    Also get a gmail account with your Keyword in it,
    then set up a new Youtube Channel with your Keyword again.
    This helps with Google seeing you as an authority in
    the subject (same keyword) and increases relativity.


    Ranking videos on the 1st page of Google is easier then
    getting a website ranked on the 1st page for these reason.
    I have videos ranked on Youtube, Google Videos and Google search.


    Once you have it ranked 1st on YT and GV, then you might need
    additional social bookmarking backlinks pointing to the video to
    deal with the competition of your Key Word, but 1st you have
    to get to the top of YT and Google Videos.


    Another thing more important then views for a video once you set up
    the VIDEO Keyword SEO is the number of likes, comments and favorites.
    You can get a fiverr gig for likes, comments and favorites and views combined which is more important then just views alone.
