Hi there, Currently, It seems quite difficult to rank a regular website in the first position on Google search results. But we can optimize SEO for other resources to achieve goals quickly and much more easily, in this topic I would like to share my experiences to rank youtube videos. I am applying this technique and the result is wonderful! You can implement this system for affiliate product promotion, selling your own product or using youtube to make money as an adsense partner. 1. Video creation You donot need to learn the advanced technical video editor like After effect, Its time consuming! Here are types of my favorite videos: Animation videos: free service such as: powtoon, goanimate,...You can make a short product review video about 2-3 minutes, there are many cool characters and template ready to use. Presentation video: Using Powerpoint 2010, there is a function to export your slide as 720p HD video. You can buy awesome powerpoint template that is made perfectly for promotion Sketch/Hand draw style videos: use software such Sparkol or EasySketchPro to create your own hand draw clips Outsource: spend about $5 or $10 for a review on on fiverr or odesk, elance,... 2. Onpage SEO Optimized for Video on Youtube Video File name: Put your keywords in the file name, example " keyword - relevent keywords.mpe" Many people still donot know this is a MUST for an onapge keyword target, forget this part and your seo job becomes very hard even though you are ranking a low competion keyword! The Video title: Use 2 times repeating for target kewyord, example: "product name review - live results after using product name", this simple trick will force the bots to put a strong notification for this relevance video and its not unnatural for the readers as well Description & tags: Google is not able to understand the content of the video in fact, the description and tags are what the bots "reads" to determine what the video is about.Try to add as many relevant keywords as possible in the tags, and you need to write a unique article to paste into the description. Pro tips: add the biggest player's channel name in your niche into the tags section, this trick will help your videos appear in the related video right sidebar, this is a greate chance to get many views from other popular videos Annonation: this feature is used not only to interacting with the audience but also indicate the important keywords, you can link to another video or just a call to action stament Comments containing keywords: After your video uploaded, you should get many comment including keywords. Which categories to choose: based on my experience, people go to google for information and youtube for entertainment, so the best categories should be Howto & Style; News & politic, People & Blogs, or Film & Animation . When choosing these category associated with the keyword in the title, ex: review, tuturial, how to, where, news, demos, samples, ... ... you can dominate both the Google.com &Youtube 3. Backlink Continue with the backlink strategy, you donot need to do it manually! Its more comfortable to get it done with quite a cheap prices or you can build links yourself if you are on a budget, these kinds of backlinks really helps: Social network sharing (twitter, facebook, google plus, reddit,..) Bookmarking sites: there are so many free bookmark sites offering dofollow link and high PR, too Blog comment: leaving informative comments on authorrity blog, normally you only need one comment approved by the blog admin to get other comments instantly go live! web 2.0 backlink: from free service such as blogspot, wordpress.com, tumblr,... Thanks for reading, hope this simple tutorial help you archive the #1 ranking with youtube video!
That's a solid formula and any newbie interested in ranking YouTube videos will surely benefit from this. Google has applied a much longer waiting delay to all new websites and any newly indexed website automatically becomes subject to it until a certain period of time elapses, usually months. So YouTube videos is a great way to rank fast and garner traffic while waiting for the "waiting period" to expire.
VERY strong strategy. Just forgot to say that about 4-5 good keywords in the description is more than enough for best results and also, don't forget to make the title interesting for PEOPLE too to make it go viral in Social Media sites. But GREAT strategy!!!!
I've made a video a month ago now and I only got 29 views. Can you guys please tell me what did I done wrong here? Or is there something missing I need to fulfill? Thanks!
It seems you are trying to rank a very competitive keyword, in this case, you need much more powerful link than just booking. try premium strong link from hight authority PR (press release) sites, ex: sbwire, prweb,..This strategy costs a bit, moreover this video needs more edu,gov link.
Well yes, it is kinda competitive and I don't think I can afford to invest in such strategy. As of now, I am taking advantage of using free tools for marketing.
Yeah, you can take a look at the fiverr gig to see how they are doing seo and find resources to do it yourself. Example: They offer booking service, there are bunch of free booking list out there to manually submitting. Sure that this way takes lots of effort but its free
These are great tactics, I would also add this one. Take your YT link and post it on G+. I was able to get page one doing this (low comp kws) without any links. Not sure if it's still working as well.
Hi, please note that the G+ link will appear on the result page at a very hight position WITH YOUR FRIENDS in the circle, When logging out the Gmail, that G+ link would be absent So, G+ is a good social signal resource along with FB, Twitter, Linkedin,..
My best idea to rank youtube videos is that, paste the youtube video link in the description itself. And search for phpmelody sites or similar sites that support youtube video embed with description. Now link your youtube videos to those websites. I use this process for ranking youtube videos.
yes, this is one of backlink stategy that work for youtube video, I do commenting on comment flatfrom like Disqus and similars as well P/s: comment on blogspot sites with (Name/URL) is also a good source
