What is all the rave about ranking youtube videos ?

well i have several steps I take to rank youtube videos:

First do keyword research in your niche, you should have a large list by now.

Create an informative screen capture video about the keyword topic.

Make it at least 3 minutes in length.

Make sure you start your video with your Logo Intro.

At the end of your videos, always tell the audience to “click below for more information”.

Save and name the video using the keyword, without hyphens.

Upload the video on to your YouTube account.

Title the video on YouTube using the keyword in a sentence.

Write a 300 word description with your keyword in it.

Make sure you start the description with the URL you want to send the traffic to.

Put your keyword in the tags section on YouTube.

Make a sentence with your keyword in it and put it into the annotation section in YouTube.

After your video is up on YouTube, embed it on your site with a related article.

Go to fiverr.com and get a social bookmarking gig with high positive ratings.

Send the social bookmarks to the YouTube Video and NOT YOUR SITE.

All done

of course backlinks help, since Youtube is owned by Google, you won't get punished when building thousands of links per day to your vid, but other factors do affect your rank, number of clicks, comments, that kinda stuff that shows your vid is popular, and you also need to make your description relevant with a good amount of targeted keywords. hope that helps

I don't even bother doing keyword research now. Well, not in your typical fashion where you analyse backlinks for the top 10 results. All I do is go for the keyword in my market with the most traffic that has a video thumbnail on the first page of results.

And yeah, backlinks help but there not the be all and end all like a lot of people make out they are. There are other "off-page" tricks that are far more effective.

I created a video, that is only 1 min in length. The keyword and niche is low competitive. I just tried youtube views service. Now my video is on 7th position on youtube video search. But haven't seen that on google search. I also uploaded the same video to dailymotion, surprisingly it's on 3rd page of google search. I done nothing to the dailymotion video.

to rank with youtube you still need backlink maybe not much like website but you still need backlinks.. and you should see other competitor youtube views if they have a lot of view i think you better find another keywords.. the course maybe give example with product launch so there is not yet any competition

If you are lazy do backlining, you can select low competition & long tail keywords to rank Youtube videos at Google without backlinks. This way works 50% for the keywords. Not all Youtube videos with the keywords can get ranked at the top spots without backlinks.

You need to use the right keywords in your title. The longer, the better.

There is no guarantee anywhere online that says that you can get every single video that you upload to rank on page 1 of Google.

Out of 10, maybe I can get 1 to rank high.

It is all a numbers game. The secret to create as many as you can.
