I thought I would start a thread on ranking factors for Video Marketing. I can pretty much say that ranking with video isn't much of a problem for me and can make it to page 1 or 2 without a problem but I am always looking at perfecting my video marketing as this is my favorite traffic generation method. Here is a list of what I do to rank... if anyone can share anything else that they do, I would highly appreciate it so I can rank more easily for the tougher keywords:
1) Good and thorough SEO
2) Backlinks
3) Tags - I think out of the box here so I can at least show up on the right hand side on YouTube searches
4) Captions - transcribe and optimize
5) Annotations - two annotations spread throughout the video
Would love to hear if there is anything else people use to rank
