- SEO |
I thought I could share something usefull in this community, since its been a long time since I didnt share anything with you. This thread is mainly for the youtube marketers, and for those who want to get started in video marketing.
Basically, youtube is one of the most visited site, and as a matter of facts, is a great place to find targeted visitors to your website/squeezepage/salespage/ect.
Getting ranked fast
Here are the basic things. I'll come up with more specifif stuff later in the post.
-Your title must contains your KW
-Your description must contains your KW
-Your tags must contains your KW
You can use the youtube keywords tool to know how many searches your KW got on YT. Link : https://ads.youtube.com/keyword_tool
Since the last algo...
Since the last Youtube patch, its getting now harder to rank and to keep videos alive more than 2-3 days. In facts, YT now detect a lot of fake views, which make us, marketers, more struggling to rank our videos.
The secret is now to buy retention views. So if you want to rank, I highly suggest you to make a little research on the web, and aim for 80% rentention or more. If you buy 50 000 views, but only 3-4 seconds long, it wont help your ranking. You get the picture now.
From a backlinks point of view, lets just say that the typical web 2.0 backlink doesnt help as much as it did in the past. I'm personally using manual bookmark to each of my video and it helps a bit. But keep in mind that your main weapon is definitly high retention views.
In brief..
Dont forget to add likes, subscriber and to drop a few comments on other people video, it helps to gain trust and authority. Aim for quality views, and create couple backlinks and you should be on your way to rank. Just with basic onpage SEO, I manage to rank my video in top 20-30 on YT.
Anyways, didnt wanted to come up with such a long thread, but I think it could definitly helps some people here, especially since the last Youtube update.
Cheers,
