How to increase youtube rankings?

24 replies
Hi All,

When I upload a video on YouTube, my video is usually on 3rd or 4th page. Please let me know as to how to increase my video ranking? To get more people to watch my video people say that I need to get more clicks. To get more clicks, my video should be in 1st page of search.

Please help me to know and provide me tips on increasing my video ranking

Thanks,
Ramyashree

    Not necessarily true. You can post your video on social media like twitter or Facebook to increase the number of clicks, you can ask for a shoutout from FB groups related to your niche, etc. There are numerous ways of increasing your YT views that don't include being on the 1st page.

    - social bookmark your YT video url on all the top social bookmarking sites
    - create blogs on web 2.0 sites (the top 10 should be enough) and make a post on every web 2.0 blog embeding the video
    - social bookmark every web 2.0 blog post on all top social bookmarking sites
    - mass ping all these urls
    - tweet your video url, and web 2.0 blogs urls

    - seo your video title and description
    - put a link of your YT channel in bottom of description

    if you do this right, many of your videos will even reach first page of google, not only YT

    good luck!

        Sorry for my English but my method is proven by my self.
        First, before upload your video - please spy semi viral video to copy their keywords and other onvideo information. (semi viral video is a new video with same niche with yours and uploaded few days but has won tens of thousands of views)

        Second, soon you upload the video, just buy advertising on youtube ads (just for 1-2 days with budget $5/day). When you buy advertising on youtube choose the source of the traffic from your spying semi viral video.
        So, youtube ads will put your video just below on that semi viral video.
        Trust me, you will get tons views from that semi viral video too.

        Finally, after your views like ball rolling and continues to climb, youtube will put your video same as that semi viral video, even if you've run out of money.

        Lastly your video get high ranking.

        Just my 2 cent's
        Cheers

    In almost all cases, if basic VSEO doesn't get your video ranked, it's easier and more effective to spend your time making another video optimized for similar /related, but different keywords. It's a numbers game and the more videos you have that are of decent quality, the more likely you are to see positive results.


    IMO, the keywords have to be very valuable to "fight" to get rankings on Youtube.

    Here is what I dug up on increasing ranking of Youtube videos. These 10 Youtube Seo tips are From the Youtube playbook published by Youtube

    1) Likes and favorites increase your videos rankings in YouTube search.

    2) Publishing videos regularly to YouTube will improve your rankings in the YouTube search algorithm.

    3) more content will lead to more viewership and more rankings in the algorithm. YouTube wants you to keep posting videos to YouTube.

    4) [Metadata is critical] Write good titles. Put keywords first and branding at the end. Make sure they are compelling titles.

    5) Include keywords in your tags and place those most important keywords and keyword phrases at the start of your tags fields. Include common and specific keywords (dont spam). write 12 or more tags and use as much of the characters as possible.

    6) Put your most compelling information first in your videos' description on YouTube and be sure to include plenty of keywords. Make sure you include links to other content you own and any other links that users could use to learn more about you. Also include a recurring keyword tagline.

    7) YouTube's search algorithm favors videos that link to and drive traffic to other YouTube assets within annotations.

    8) Having your videos listed in playlists improves your content's rankings in YouTube.

    9) Having a lot of video responses will also help indicate to YouTube that your video is popular and relevant and will help with SEO for YouTube.

      9) Having a lot of video responses will also help indicate to YouTube that your video is popular and relevant and will help with SEO for YouTube.
      While this is a good list, it's also a little out of date. For example, YT ended video responses quite a while back.


      Also, at the top of the list now is how many more videos do people watch after your own video? Videos that lead viewers to watch other videos is now the single most important ranking factor. If someone watches your video, then watches more YT videos, your video will outrank another video were people just watch it but no other videos.


      This creates a bit of a dilemma, since getting viewers off YT and onto your own pages should be a high priority. But if they leave YT for your website, it could hurt your video's ranking.


      The next most important factor is how much of your video do viewers watch on average? Is it 75%? 25%? If your viewers aren't watching at least 60% of your video, it probably isn't interesting enough and you'll struggle to get it to rank high. Of course, this will depend on competing video viewer retention rates too.

    What about keywords? That is a big factor. Using the correct keywords for a product increases google rankings.

    Post your video throughout your social media network. Don't just restrict to Facebook and Twitter, but also include Google+, Tumblr, Instagram, and Pinterest in your strategy. Embed your video in your blog posts and mention it on question and answer sites like Quora.

    Ranking on first page is a different thing and getting traffic is a different thing. You can't get ranked with traffic. If you want to increase your YouTube ranking, then you should do some quality SEO work for it.

    There is ONE factor that might be the reason why you video isn't getting ranked.

    And that is "Subtitles"

    Youtube places very high value on it.

    So if you've tried everything else and it doesn't rank, give your video "CC" and see the magic.

    Thank me later

    First things first, make sure your video title, description, tags, and category are all good.

    Now to get some activity on your video page as well as better ranking in Youtube and Google:

    1. Share your video on social networks.
    2. Get high retention views.
    3. Get social bookmarks.
    4. Embed your video in blog posts.

    Tags- use many of them and use them efficiently. Also, HD videos are almost always higher ranked, because Youtube registers them as being of a higher quality.

      I disagree. In some cases, short videos are best! 1-2 minutes max., long video tend to make people get bored and close it..

    Tips to increase the youtube rankings are :

    1. Increase the Number of Views for Your Video: The more views your video gets, the better it ranks.

    2. Optimize Your Video Title and Description With Relevant Keywords: Make sure your video title and description contain the relevant keyword terms and phrases. The title should be at least five words long so that you can easily incorporate your full keyword.

    3. Optimize Video Tags: It is ideal to have six to eight tags for your video. Include the keyword phrase in the video tags and also slight variations of this phrase. The tags should obviously be relevant to your video.

    4. Ask viewers to rate and comment on your video: At the end of your video, include a call-to-action button asking viewers to rate your video and leave a comment. Some of the most popular videos on YouTube adopt this strategy to rank higher on YouTube.

    5. Use YouTube Analytics to Get Deeper Insights Into the Performance of Your Video: Use the Analytics tool within YouTube to see which sites have embedded your videos. Ask these sites whether they would like to link to your upcoming video.

    Also make sure to use your keywords in the name of the file that you upload to YouTube, and use dashes, not underscores.

    e.g.
    make-money-online-with-cpa.mp4
