How to rank on the first page, a Youtube Video and FASTER 1 1) Make an original clip (yep YT knows when it's a copy) of the thing you want to advertise. 2) Use long tailed keywords in your title ex: "How to tie a tie for beginners" is better than "Tie a tie" 3) Do not put more than 2 keywords in your title 4) Create a UNIQUE description with at least 250 words. Do not over use your keywords in it. 5) Set it to PRIVATE for a few hours, then PUBLIC 6) Submit it to pingler.com once you made it public. So it gets indexed faster 7) Get some LIKES and VIEWS from addmefast.com and/or youlikehits.com This is optional and only need to be done if you are targeting keywords (even if it's long tailed keywords) that lots of people are trying to rank. It will give you a boost. Hope it helps ! Oh yeah, aged and in "good standing" accounts will not hurt either tho, i've never tried with new accounts ? Guys, let us know if you do try this with new accounts and it turns right ok ? Cheers
Hmmm pretty standard guide but I think if you're trying to teach newbies, why not include an example? Don't forget "Captions" (surprised you didn't mention)
Never did YT marketing. I just recently started published Kindle books and I have been thinking about trying to tie in YT. I think I will try this. Thank you very much.
Hmm @Elvis Wong pretty much says it all, I just would like to add, embedding the video into a blog and some social signals can also help the video to rank.
Dont bother trying youlikehits or addmefast, your Video will soon get banned, and the method you are talking about is Unlisted Method. that seem to be not working anymore, with Youtube getting smarter than ever. Just upload quality video, and follow basic on video SEO, which you have already mentioend
I guess it is OK for someone just starting out. However, I will say the private and then public thing is completely new to me. What's the logic behind doing that? Can you explain?
@Ethan Alvin I'm curious, with all these stuffs like youlikehits and addmefast. I know these tools doesn't make sense for social networking sites like twitter and facebook, because I am sure it will not be worth it. But for youtube, if the number of views will qualify a video to be on the top of serp, why not? right? I'm sure views add a bit signal that it deserves to be on top. I hope it make sense. What do you think?
Well, there are always 2 schools of thoughts. 1. Buy a queue to form a queue 2. Build an authentic queue My question is: will building a queue detract the intrinsic value of the brand, and distract you from doing what is right with the perceived success. I guess in marketing, it can work either way, so it really depends on what you want. In my humble opinion, I'd rather build it from ground zero, and build a solid foundation. The thing about buying traffic and view is, YouTube & Google already know (this practice has been around for years). Why risk getting something that deserves to be on top penalized? Most of the traffic from these traffic exchanges are bot clicks, and easily identified by the sites. Don't forget which company owns YouTube.
Make sense, but now I think I need to hear an opinion from the one's who actually tried this, I mean from youtube specifically. I know someone out there thought about this too. Anyway, I assume you haven't done this thing yet @Ethan Alvin? I appreciate your response Ethan, thanks!
Nope but I was at one point very tempted to buy traffic, until I read the forums advising me not to. Sure I was just offering my 2 cents, and your method might work. Let's wait for someone who has success with it advise. Over 9 months, I've only managed to garner on average more than 500 views for 5-6 videos of mine (with 2 over 1.5k), mainly via video SEO & with only minimal sharing and 2-3 backlinks. Well the stats aren't fantastic, but as the videos are in a highly competitive niche, look pretty decent to me without any sharing or much backlinks.
Here is my short list: Make sure your keyword is mentioned a couple of times at the beginning of your video (you will see why in a bit) Use your keyword in the first part of your title Use the keyword in the description a few times, plus use variations. YouTube prefers longer to shorter descriptions. Don't put your site link at the top of your description as some people suggest, put it down a couple of lines. Save the beginning of the description for a 2 sentence sales pitch to get people to click on the video - use the keyword or variation again here. Use the keyword in the tags, use at least 10 tags Rename your video file using your keyword before uploading (very important) Use annotations to put your keyword onto of the video (link you your site, etc.) Use closed captioning, transcripts. These can be automatically created by YouTube and will need editing. But if you used your keyword in the video it will show up in this transcript. To prove I know what I am talking about do a YouTube search for "photoshop elements 11 text" 7 of the first page videos are mine. Put there using the above techniques (plus a few more optimization tricks). No purchased views at all, not needed. View count doesn't matter, like count doesn't matter, number of subscribers doesn't matter. It is all about listing optimization.
