Good evening guys,

I'm looking for a guide, on ranking Youtube videos, hosted on Youtube.

I have a channel with almost 40,000 subscribers and a decent amount of quality videos.

I've never spent any time attempting to rank the videos, actually at this present moment, I don't even know how.

Is it the same as trying to rank a webpage? Literally fire links at it? Does the Youtube internal search, take links in to account?

Any info/guides etc would be great.

Many thanks

    Targeted keywords in video title

    Targeted keywords in description

    Keywords in tags

    Use quotes on the tags to form keyword phrases "keyword 1" "keyword 2"

    Build some links to the videos

    Hi Kev, I do all of the above, other than build links to the videos. So YT does count these then? That's good to know.

    Here is a list of factors that contribute to rankings on YouTube.

    title
    description
    tags
    views
    ratings
    playlist additions
    flagging
    embeds
    shares
    comments
    age of video
    channel views
    subscribers
    inbound links (links from outside of YouTube pointing to your videos).

    So how you do gain high channel views, subscribers, comments, ratings, etc? Like anything else in social media, you need to create valuable content, engage the community, connect with other members, and build a following. As you build a following, more people will comment, rate, share, subscribe to, recommend, and link to your videos. And all of those factors seem to help your rankings on YouTube.

    if you want to rank with youtube video then your keyword must be in title and description part, you should create some backlink pointing to your video.
    Your can post it to various social networking site to increase its popularity

    The number of times that has been voted your video by the other users and of the average rating obtained in the votes. The users can choose the level of acceptance of your video by means of a system of rating at the time of voting and making comments on your videos. For this Reason the video must have a good acceptance between the users to help to that the ranking in Youtube is good.

    The Number of times that your video has been viewed by the users. In this factor it is necessary to consider the viral power that has your videos. If these are shared and recommended between the users, the number of people who see your videos will multiply.

    Finally, another factor to consider at the time of obtaining a high ranking in Youtube is the number of times that your videos have been bookmarked by other users.
