Hi,

What factors do YouTube take into account when ranking videos?

Thanks,
Matt

title, description and tags really play an important part. This can be really good for SEO purposes.

link building helps. Clicks help too. Be sure to tag the vid appropriately

Keep in mind link diversity is key- no one type of link is the end all, be all..

I've started getting links for optimised You Tube videos and they are really helping with not only boosting the rankings internally on You Tube but also on Google too. So for me I can say they work.

It will take the number of views on the video. So the top views will rank in top position.

If we are talking about ranking Youtube videos in the SERPs (thumbnails), then nothing in that list will get the video ranked.

The video title is the most important.

use your keyword phrase and try to make the title compelling.

Think of it as the headline for an Ad. Make people want to check on it to find out more.

Bingo!

Then tie all of your own related videos together with a unique Youtube-Tag.

This is a little dated (January, 2009) but it's from Forresters, the huge research corp.

I forgot to mention this tip.

Make sure your url is visible during the video. This will help get you more traffic if your video is shared or embeded onto other websites.
