YouTube Video Rankings - Secrets

39 replies
Hi Warrior Members & Viewers

So I have recently started to see the potential youtube videos have, improving seo and traffic to your website/blog.

I blog in a very competitive niche - Binary Options Trading (Yes, It is finance/trading related ) You can view my youtube page in the Social Networking section to the LEFT, to point out any errors or possible improvements!

I need some tips & advice you use to rank your vids on youtube itself and then on google and other search engines!!!

Likes, shares, views, description, backlinks, comments, subscribers ??? What makes the big difference? One of my competitors has a page 1 youtube video and done so within 1 week of uploading it! What does he know that I don't... :confused:

Any help or advice will be much appreciated!

Thanks
Regards

    Now I haven't actually tried it but a course I bought recently basically said you need to make it look as natural as possible. So get a few thousand views + to get the ball rolling along with an appropriate number of comments, likes and favourites etc. Also get some social signals going especially google +1s.

    You have to make it look like real people are loving your vid.

      You need to ask for a refund on that course because this information simply isn't true. How do you think videos go viral?

      There was an incident in the UK yesterday where a soldier was murdered in London. A video posted about one of the attackers holding a machete (it's pretty sick to be honest), on YouTube less than 10 hours after the event had 780K views (last time I checked) with thousands of likes, subs, comments etc.

      I've been testing YT videos extensively in 2013 and the only factor that matters is backlinks. On-page SEO will get your video ranked in the top#10 for a low/medium comp KW but you need strong backlinks to get to number #1.

    1. Before upload a video rename it to "your keyword.mp4"
    2. Upload it, add key word in title, in description repeat it at least two times, also add it in tags, check for other videos by searching the keyword, and get tags from them and add it
    3. Get Views, likes, comments on it and see the magic

    If you need views, likes etc then check my signature

      This is true but I have yet to rank #1 without backlinks. On-page will get you on page #1 no problems but you need links for the final push.

        Question:

        Do you take video 1 on Youtube for example and then upload the same video to the other authority video sharing sites and then on those channels back link the original youtube video?

          I only look at the competition in terms of backlinks. Most of the time I know my link building will outrank the competition for low/medium KWs.

    You mean my social networking section to the left...lol... not right..

    I am a expert in SEO, if you google "how to get free facebook fans" you will see my video as position 1.

    you have to create highly optimized articles about your niche and backlink them to high PR sites and then embed your video inside those articles using <h2> tags and multiply unique key words.. try that for starters...

    Cheers,

    • Channel Subscriptions (nice to have 50+)
    • Favorites/Add to List (Good to have)
    • Commenting (You want your video to appear to be active)
    • Social Network Sharing (FaceBook, Twitter; use them!)
    • Relevant Backlinks (Helps to have sites linking to the video)
    • Make sure to PING the backlinks (Get them indexed quicker)
    Video -
    • Make sure to first optimize the channel
    • Then optimize the title, desc, tags with the keyword phrases you want to target
    • On the same account, post on other videos that are similar to yours.
    ... Those are starter ideas =)

    HI, The first thing you need to do as added above. Your title is very important. But dont only have your keyword phrase in your title. Mix it up a little.

    For example: Better Than OPTIONS TRADING - Revolutionary Binary Options Trading Platform

    Again make sure you have your direct keyword in your description and your meta tags. The final thing you need to do is add views to your video which will help it climb the ranks. youtubebuzz.com is a great source to get views. They offer real YouTube views.

      So what I did was add like an article as the description.. 100% unique but I read somewhere that you can keyword stuff when it comes to youtube description. Im not sure how this can be true?

      Thanks

      That's true Google loves YouTube and if the content is pretty impressive then surely your video will come on Google first page.

    Hello.

    From My experience in Video Marketing:

    1.Optimize your video - video name, video title, tags, description (add keyword combinations in description and in the end)
    2. Backlinks
    - Web 2.0 properties with embedded video
    - Article directories
    - Social Shares (twitter, fb, pinterest, bookmarks) try TribePro shares in fiverr (try this first)
    3. Video views, likes, subscribers (vagex etc.)

    Hope it Helps.
    Good Luck
    Martin

    Hi there, had a look at your competitors vid and there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to beat it.

    Yes - likes, views, shares etc each play a part, but particularly with likes and views you must be careful, If there is even a whiff of using a bot, YT is likely to sit you down very quickly.

    There are a number of other things you can do as well.

    You will need to SEO your Channel correctly, Use your keyword at least twice in the Description title. You would also need to have two or three additional channels named for related keywords.

    The important thing would be for you to use your primary channel in the same way as a content rich website or blog. Spin your existing blog articles and turn them into videos. Keep them short.

    Use your supporting channels to link to your primary channel, plus add all the vids for all the channels into a play list on your primary channel.

    Find related (not competitors) vids and use each of your videos to provide a video response (only go after those that allow automatic approval). You can even create a bunch of 30 sec vids to use for video responses with each one of them pointing back to the primary channel.

    Sorry, I am unable to go into full detail about everything (not enough space), but I am sure you get the picture.

    Make sure you do your keyword research and promote the video as much as possible to get as many views as you can so it can rise in the search engines.

    Another strategy when making binary options videos is to provide some education and trading on how to trade binary options. One video that comes to mind in your niche is this particular video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXS0h2vbPc0

    It has 87,000 views and counting. The reason it is so popular is because it outlines a trading strategy. I would try to develop videos like this.

    you want to think the description as a blog post, that means your keyword inside LSI keywords plus you need tags at least 6-12 then you need your keyword to have it on the tittle in the description you put your link to your channel and also other relevant links prefferd other videos of yours, this is the on page the off page you need to ping it every time that you put content inside, index and create some backlinks, there are also some ways to buy like and shares of your video so its good it helps alot especially if you have comments, then if you wanna to go further you should go submit articles in directories with your video and relevant content of course, this will help alot, the only things that you need to buy is the likes sharing probably from fiver and the backlinks probably from fiverr too so with 10$ you are good. but the quallitty of the backlinks its not gonna be something special but for 5$ it gonna be good cheer's

    You don't always need rank #1 to get decent traffic. One of my videos is ranked #6 and doing really well. The traffic stats are pretty good and I only uploaded the video 6 days ago. My backlinks haven't indexed yet so I am expecting it to reached #1 in a few days.

    I should mention that my KW is in the weight loss niche with 8100 global searches so that certainly helps.

      It helps because YouTube has a captions bot that takes the words and transcribes them into words. It doesn't do a very good job but If you want to manipulate the time stamped data file with better keyword distribution and a strong call to action I made a video showing you how to do it.

      I think it's because of the auto generated subtitle.

    I'd say go to fiverr.com. Look for a gig that provides real human views,subscribes,comments,likes and favourites... order it. And the popularity of your video will go up. I've tried it and it works. BUT... it's gotta be real human views not some bots bulls**t.

      You're not going to get real views for $5. Bots all the way.

    Market your video offline. Make fliers with the link or possible QR code.
