Basic Youtube SEO Question

Does having a well established youtube channel automatically help boost new videos that you publish in terms of SEO?

For instance,

I have a youtube channel that is about home repair and working with contractors. That particular play list I upload to is doing fairly well.

I have a separate playlist targeting people that want to buy property, namely first time home buyers. This channel is new and I have not yet published any videos to it yet. And the audience I am targeting is completely different, which is important to note because it is unlikely many of the followers I have on my home repair channel will be interested in the content targeted towards first time home buyers.

With that being said will the existing rankings I have for my home repair channel help boost SEO of videos I add to my new first time home buyers channel?

Thanks

  • I can't say for sure if it "automatically", will help boost your videos but I have noticed that when I tested this theory on a few of my channels (uploading the exact same video to 3 seperate channels) I noticed an immediate difference in which channel video ranked the highest....it was the one with the most videos.

    But who knows, that could have been a total fluke. Haven't tested it with enough videos over a specific amount of time to say for sure.

    It would stand to reason that if you have a lot of videos on one channel that have high viewer retention, views, comments...etc that the channel PR itself would start to raise.

    Sidenote: I've not found a YouTube video or channel that has ranked above a PR 3 yet. (of course I've only looked at competitive LOCAL terms).
  • Yes a strong channel helps particularly if you can get PageRank for your channel by doing things like commenting on other popular videos

    • Adding useful comments to other popular videos will help raise the page rank of your own videos? I was under the impression all links on youtube were nofollow.

      Unless you are just attempting to get people to naturally click through and check out your site just by commenting.
  • Internal links still count only external are nofollow is my understanding. Regardless my experience is that this helps videos rank so I'll keep doing it.
  • Banned
    Youtube likes it when you link to other youtube videos in your description and when you create playlists, encourages people to stay longer on their site

  • Spot on both of these can work well.
