    When people enter a keyword into youtube, what determines that Your video shows up with a high ranking on the list of results?

    (lets assume your video has that keyword inthe keyword tags, and also in the description).

    Do videos with higher views + more comments get priority to be Higher in the video search ?

    What other factors determing a High ranking for your video, when a search is put into the utube search box?

    Important factors are the keywords in the video title, description and tags. Do not use trash words in the title - that is one of the biggest mistakes that people make. Keep the title short, to the point and only use targeted keywords.

    Example:

    Video 1 title - A video about my cute little kitten.

    Video 2 title - Cute kitten video

    Video 1 uses 3 trash words - A, about, my. The word "little" might be a trash word, but maybe not. People might search for "cute little kitten" in youtube.

    Video 2 uses 0 trash words.

    Same thing in the video description. Only use targeted keywords - but arranged in a sentence and readable in the first couple of sentences of the description.

    thanks. Are you speaking from experience? and has this been tested?

    or they are guesses? (sorry to have to ask that ;))
