How to rank seo Youtube videos?

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by harshalone, Nov 24, 2015.

  1. #1
    Hi We are planning to launch a micro service marketplace this new year. We thought to create multiple videos which reflect how we work. We've been able to rank a few videos high by relevant tags, description all overall optimization.

    However, we also involved with a person who was able to rank a video within a couple of days without empty description and barely optimized title.
    Does anyone know how one may able to do it? Some kind of back end work, like links to the video or embeds?

    Any tips?

    Uploading a video is not enough to get views on Youtube until you are a big brand or company like a music company or celebrity.
    There are some factors involved to make your video notable.
    The name of your video by which one can know that what is inside your video, having title which perfectly match to your video content will be very friendly to viewer and also to the youtube algorithm for seo.
    Take advantage of search engine auto complete feature.
    Description about your video content, first 2-3 lines matters alot to get ranking in search engine.
    Use closed caption feature of youtube.

    I would also like to know how I can do that because I dont think you can rank the videos high without the obviously known tactics like fancy titles, tags, descriptions and links. I wonder how they did it

    The title and the description tags are within the video website and usually programmers are knowledgeable for the inclusion of the tags.

    Now youtube rank videos on based of following metrics
    Number of seconds viewed
    Comments
    Likes
    Social Share
    Also Improper naming structure is the most common optimization mistake I see.

    OP, sometimes you have to ask your self, "what do people wan't and what are they looking for?" There's nothing wrong with having to go back to the drawing board and going back to the basics. SEO, doing keyword analysis, and checking rankings, and everything else should have more to do with customers then what Google thinks, or what you youtube thinks. You tube might cut you the check, but their advertisers are the ones paying you.

    Let's say a customer visits your website and they found you through some expensive high-density keyword like "weight loss" or worse "weight loss diet pills" and google loves you because you're driving the sale's of those keywords through the roof, which means that your general terms are forcing everyone else to take notice and spend more money on those keywords. Now those TOP Affiliate marketers who often run very expensive payperclick campaigns have hundreds of thousands of website ready to be turned to any campaign and target any keyword, but what a lot of them don't realize is that they're spending more money than what they should be. This is why, long-tail keywords are not only more effective but cost effective, by targeting what people are actually typing to find whatever they're looking for. Industry standard keywords are for the guys who made millions of dollars with their websites decades ago, or during the Y2K bubble of 1999.

    Long-tail keyword example : "braw for short women" ==> that's right, many people don't really know how to spell bra.

    In conclusion, go to where the customer is, if they are looking for "best hats made in 2015 or 2016" run those keywords instead of choosing high ranking industry keywords like, "victoria secret bras"

    The same thing goes for videos, treat them like keywords. If something is going viral study it by studying what people are saying about it and then grab it and post it some where else. Use almost the same keywords for the video, but different and they'll follow it. The plan for you to make money is already here, the secret is to give people what they want and you'll do well.

    If in 1st hour your video views reached on 1000 then it can rank in top 10 videos.

    In order to rank in YouTube follow the basic steps first;
    1. Title SEO oriented keywords which are in demand on Google Keyword Planner.
    2. Make Use of this Keyword in Description and Tags as Well.
    3. Description should have keywords researched in such a way that those are the most frequently searched on YouTube search bar.
    4. Make sure you "Say those Keywords" used in your SEO as primary keyword twice thrice in your video as well.
    5. Tags related to your videos at the same time related to latest happening issues as well.
    6. Make your YouTube Video more then 10 mins or more. Longer the video longer it will be its watch time and it will dominate as a whole.
    7. Make Your YouTube descriptions around 200 - 300 words.
    8. Its Social Media Precence on Twitter, FB, Reddit,etc.
    9. Backlinks do play a role for ranking on Google and YouTube Search.
