What is the secret to getting higher PR on youtube?

9 replies
Hi all;

I have a video on youtube that I am trying to get to the top. I am currently in sixth place.

I seo optimized the title, description, and tags with my keyword in " "
I got someone to give me 10 unique likes and comments.
I had another person create 1000 back links to it.
I even hired someone to social book mark the video.

The weird thing is that one of the videos above me only shows 1 back link in yahoo site explorer. It is pointing to the video from yahoo answers. Does this site have a high authority rank and more weight? That must be the case. So, are there any other sites besides .edu sites that carry more weight in google?

Here is the link


Thanks for your help

Brian.

    Couple of things:
    1. Yahoo site explorer does NOT show all backlinks, especially for new sites and/or pages.
    2.
    So, are there any other sites besides .edu sites that carry more weight in google?
    If you want higher PR for your page, authority or 'weight' have nothing to do with that. You need more backlinks (preferably with PR>0), that's all.

    A good practice I hear is to subscribe to very active Youtube users and post a lot of comments. This way, you have tons of people interacting and they will look at your profile and videos. You want tons of views in any way shape or form and you want people commenting on your videos.

    Backlinks, my friend.

    Second: user actions (e.g. number of views).

    In order to get higher PR, you need to link your youtube page to other websites that have high PR.

    How long has this video been up? Sometimes time is a factor. However, I would agree that user interaction may help. Get people commenting on the video. Try getting someone to do a video response to it and see if that helps.

    Backlinks, comments and shares. Try adding your video link on your FB, Twitter, and LinkedIn profile and ask for comments.

    OK so back links are all important. However, One of my videos got embedded in to a news story one time, and my video shot to the number one spot on youtube. With only 1 back link from that news paper. So all back links are not equal. Which ones pack more punch?
