How to Get Your YouTube Videos Ranked

Panda ate some of my money sites. So I adapted.

Now I have a YouTube video ranking #3 for a keyword that gets 60,000 exact monthly searches in the U.S. I'm ranking for other keywords that get 1000 to 9000 exactly monthly searches as well. I'm going to do a lot more of these little videos in the coming weeks.

Here's what I did:

1). I created a video. Nothing fancy. I wrote some text on a piece of paper with red marker and highlighted key points

2). Uploaded the video to YouTube. I included my keyword in my title, tags, description, and made sure that the link to my site was the first part of the description.


3). I used two services to get ranked:That's it. I'm currently experimenting using JUST backlinks to see if I even need both services, but I used both of these and it took me about a 6-7 weeks to get my ranked.

Hope this helps.

    I've been finding that YouTube videos are VERY easy to rank as long as you know what you're doing. I've gotten a large handful to rank top 5 for 8,000+/mo search terms. I'm going to scale it up and start targeting higher competition phrases.

    Also, I've found that if a YouTube video is already sitting on page 1,2, or even 3 it's a lot easier to get yours to page 1.

    Hey Raza,

    Thanks for the shout out man. Now you see I wasn't blowing smoke up your ass when I said youtube is super easy to rank high on.

    It's definitely the best post-panda traffic source out there.

    You linked to my service thread but its under someone elses name. Thought I'd let you know if you care to fix it. My links can be found in my sig anyways for those who want to get top page 1 rankings on youtube too.

      Hello Kevin,

      I got an email from one of your admins which lead me to warrior forum. And of course, I am aware that posting a youtube video does wonders for your business as I am a member of World Wide Brands and have already heard this story. What I am puzzled by is how would it work for my products which are women apparel, handbags, and perfumes. How do you suggest I create a video with those types of product?

      And if I read correctly, you state that the video can be done without actually shooting and making the video. Now I would love to see that.

      If you do this type of work (which I suppose you do, since I found your Username on a few freelance websites) how much do you charge and what is the actual video consist of? Do you have a plan that you share with your customers or do they believe you so much with whatever video you create.

      By the way the email I got about how to make youtube video did not really provide me with the link to the right website so I can educate myself a bit more before deciding to buy this, would you be so kind to do so for all of us. Googled it with your username, again no success...
      Here's the email I got:

      Yes, I have a confession to make that I'm not proud of.

      I use several different methods of building backlinks and getting
      traffic to my sites. But, there is one method I have totally
      neglected and I know it has hurt my business.

      Maybe you're have neglected YouTube marketing too.

      If you're not using Youtube to bring leads and sales to your
      website or business, you're lagging behind...

      And even worse, you're leaving lots of money on the table.

      The thought of making videos seemed like a lot of work, and it
      seemed a little scary to me (I don't have a face for video :-)

      But I knew that if I was serious about making more money online, I
      couldn't ignore Youtube anymore. (Did you know it's the 2nd largest
      search engine in the world??)

      I decided that in 2012 I would learn how to use video for marketing
      and driving traffic.

      So after searching the WarriorForum forum I found this system about
      how to quickly dominate Youtube, and I was blown away.

      This product showed me how to start sucking in targeted Youtube
      traffic, without ever creating a video!

      I repeat: without even making a video!

      Now I have no more excuses, and I'll finally able to tackle
      Youtube, bring more traffic to my sites, and make more money.

      And if you're not making cash from Youtube, you have no more
      excuses, either.


      Youtube marketing is really not as hard or scary as I thought it
      would be :-)

    Thanks Raza, that is interesting. Getting ranked is impressive but if the video is not rewarding in content, is that ultimately of any value?

    Ok cool so you got ranked for one of your keywords using youtube. Has the video made made you any money? I think that is the most important part of this whole post. Yeah I have videos too that get a ton of views and have the title tag and they click on my link in the description....but still no conversions.

    So this is all about testing to see what converts into money.... Otherwise...whats the point?

  • I just did exactly the same thing I do with my normal websites. I have a couple of videos sitting in the top 3 in Youtube, and a few that are raking in Google as well. It's no different in my opinion. Just get quality backlinks to your site.

      That's pretty much all there is to it. SEO it like you would any other site. YT videos tend to rank a LOT faster than a new site. But you're putting yourself at the mercy of YouTube.

      @giseo Yes, just like normal backlinks to your site. Even embedding a video on your site would help PR. The URL of your youtube video has PR just like any other page on the web. You can see how the PR of different youtube videos changes when you use something like SEO quake add on for chrome or firefox.

    Just same backlinks you would throw at a blog?

      Few things that I cannot figure out:

      Other than searching through all google pages, how do you find the ranking of your youtube video?

      how do you backlink to your videos? what I mean is what URL would I use for backlinks?

      Thanks.

    How will you monetize those videos ?

    I agree that ranking on YouTube is significantly easier than ranking on Google, a lot less competition and most of the top videos don't really know what they are doing for ranking. I am currently ranked #1 for a pretty high-searched keyword. I just need to upscale this and start creating more videos when I have the tips.

    Can you provide a link to Kevin Kurgansky's YouTube video service?

    Also, please keep me updated on your backlinks project as I am very interested in the results.

    I always use SocialADR as well. Social bookmarking backlinks can help you rank well your video in youtube.

    Regarding conversions, I'm seeing some. Even though YT clearly converts at a lower % than clicks from your own site. Note that these are product links. I'm sure you can increase your conversions with CPA offers / other freebies.

    Then again, a low conversion rate when you're getting 150-200 clicks a day can still be pretty decent if you're converting on bigger ticket items.

    To make your video more prominent on youtube you need more and more visitors. More views means more optimized video.
    Use a lot of keywords even irelevent.
    chose an attractive thumbnail for your video
    this will help to increase views.

    Thanks for your reply Chris. You bring up some good points. That's why I'm sharing my experience here... Maybe it is an anomaly, maybe it isn't. Hopefully other Warriors will follow these steps to see what happens.

    I'm not profiting from this thread, so I have no incentive to do anything but tell the truth. To your point, I am kind of surprised at the rankings, so I'm doing another test. One just buying views. Then another with views and backlinks.

    It's still unchartered territory for sure, but we all benefit by publicly sharing our experiences.

    Thanks again for your comments.

    Raza
