Hi guys...

Is it possible to rank a YouTube Video in Google or in YT using social media (FB, Twitter and so on). Does anybody mange to do that?
I want to rank one of my videos even more. it has almost 20000 views, and gets almost 500 every day... But I am sure it has the potential to have almost 1000 visits a day if ranked a bit more...

Any comment is appreciated...

    The short answer is yes. Social media shares do factor into rankings but they are only a small part. YouTube also factors in things like audience retention, likes, comments, favorites, and subscribers driven.

    If you want to out rank your comepetors, you best bet would be to use something like VidIQ or Virool Active Insights to see the stats of the video that are ranking higher than you and try to beat them.

      My video is ranked and has 2000 views (takes almost 200 every day)... but I want to push it from the second page of G into the first page and of course try to rank it a bit more in YT.....

      Are VidIQ or Virool helpful for me then?

      Thanks.

            Check for some authority websites, and use add on in your browser to check if the link is dofollow or no follow.
            .

    You can easily rank a Youtube video even if it never gets shared on Facebook. If you have a useful video, then others will share it on their on sites. That creates backlinks to your video. The more people who share your video via their own site/blog, the more popular your video will be on Google search for a keyword term.

      Please correct me if I am wrong....The websites are nofollow, so do they really affect the ranking in G and YT?

    Yes it is possible because Google owns YouTube. Keywords, title, description and tags are all that matters here. Try to use the YouTube Keyword Tool to find out which keywords don’t have a lot of competition. Then you make sure you include them in your title, description and tags. Also, you need to customize your thumbnail. You be sure to make your video accessible from multiple sources to allow influencers find your video and even promote or source it on their own platforms. Good luck!

    Video advertising is really different field. As per my thoughts if you share your video to the places where people want to include your video in article or blog then it would be most viral way to grow. secondly you can go for email outreach for this purpose. And yes Facebook Paid Ads is best suitable way to reach your marketing goal. Its really worth it.

    Yes but just sharing it yourself won't do much unless you have a large following who will reshare.

    But the short answer is yes.
