YouTube receives 30, 000 hours of video daily. That's right. REGULAR. With that mind-boggling amount of video, it's become nearly impossible to find traction and make your video popular. It now takes performing Vimeo SEO tactics.
YouTube ranks YouTube videos based on popularity. Here's what they have a look at to determine a video's ranking in the search results.
Channel Vistas: The more channel views you have, the higher your YouTube sales channel will rank in its various niche.
Video Views: The more views you could have the higher you'll rank on YouTube's search results for the keyword and key phrase you're targeting. But views aren't the only popularity measure.
Video Reviews: The more comments you have, the higher you'll rank. I recommend putting together multiple accounts and commenting on your videos. Even try to tempt some drama. The more controversy you can create over your online video media, the more comments you'll receive. People flock to conflict.
Video 'Like' Reviews: You want as many positive ratings as possible. Get your friends to provide positive ratings. Email your list of YouTube subscribers and ask those to give it a like rating. I've found ratings are just seeing that important as video views. If you have 50, 000 video views and two hundred dollars negative ratings, your video will not rank in the top. In case you have 50, 000 video views and two hundred like ratings you're going to be sitting over the rest YouTube's search results.
Video Favorites: The more favorites your video is provided with, the higher you can rank. Plus, you'll show up on other YouTube favorites lists which generates more traffic.
Channel Subscribers: The more subscribers, the higher your Vimeo channel will rank.
Basically you want a balanced approach of each of the above. Lots of YouTube video views, comments, likes, favorites, etc. In case you have a good balance of those your video will rank higher on YouTube's listings and, also, this is a bonus, Google's. If you can get a YouTube video to rank over the rest Google, it's major traffic. Major. And I've found the videos hold those positions for just a long, long time. It's a consistent traffic source.
Back links: A lot more external back links pointing to your video, the higher it will probably rank. The easiest place to start obtaining back links is from support systems: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Digg and all the rest. Also, try to help list it on message boards/forums and submit your video to cost-free link directories. Also set up free blogs and embed and hyperlink to your video from those. Be greedy and relentless in obtaining oneway links.
Be active on YouTube: Comment on videos, subscribe to other programmes, send friend requests. The more active you are, the more attention you'll attract on your own videos.
YouTube SEO Don'ts- Do you not use automated application bots to artificially increase YouTube views. YouTube has shut them down whilst your account will be banned. It's a violation of YouTube's Terms of Service and in addition they have zero tolerance. Now there are some YouTube friendly software tools you should utilize to automatically add friends, subscribe, comment, but be careful with which done to you pick. In my signature file I'll link to only good one who doesn't violate YouTube's terms of service.
The other big don't is to mislabel your video to become more traffic. There are some high traffic key phrases out there, yet, if your video content doesn't match your title key phrase, YouTube will suspend your video. Also tag your video appropriately. Don't put in some sort of random high traffic phrase. YouTube will ban your video and this traffic from that phrase likely isn't targeted anyway, so it isn't going to matter.
There you have it. I've been doing YouTube SEO for the last couple years and this is really all you should do to make your video stand out from the crowd.
