I am going to share 5 Tips that I have learned that will help your YouTube videos rank higher in search.<\/p>\n

1.) Content Is King<\/strong><\/em><\/span> – The first tip is not so much a tip, \u00a0as it is just common sense. If you want your video to rank higher in search results create content that is engaing and that people want to watch. If you do this, the video will receive a TON of YouTube and will be shared accross multiple social networks. This is organic traffic, this is the kind of traffic that you want to grow your channel.<\/p>\n Receiving “Likes and Favorites” on your videos is an important factor that YouTube places a lot of value in.

2.) Publishing Content On A Regular Basis<\/span><\/em><\/strong> – This is extremely important. If your viewers\/community know that you are consistent and are not going to just up and quit one day, they will be more likely to subscribe and stick around. When you are looking for content creators to invest in you are not going to subscribe and watch someone who only puts out 1 video per year, you are going to look for those creators who are committed to great content every week, and by doing this YouTube takes notice and will rank your videos higher due to your consistency.<\/p>\n

3.) Title, Tags, and Description<\/strong><\/em><\/span> – These three things are crucial when uploading your video to help your video rank higher in search. Lets talk about each of them seperately.<\/p>\n

\n
• Title<\/span> – When coming up with a Title for your video there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, make sure your keywords are in the front of the title and then you brand the video at the end. When you are writing your title for your video really think about what your Title is saying. Make it a “Clickable” title, something that when in a list stands out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  • Tags<\/span> – Tags are words or phrases that you place in the Tag box of each video that are related to your video. If your video is about YouTube SEO tips you could put tags like; \u00a0SEO Tips, Video Seo Tips, SEO, and other related keywords. A great thing to do when trying to come up with the best tags for your video is to use the Google Keyword Tool<\/a>. With this tool you are able to search for specific terms and phrases and see how many times a month that this keyword\/phrase is searched for.<\/li>\n
  • Description<\/span> – The description of your video is where you are going to explain what your video is about. In the description it is always a good idea to break down your video and put as much relevant information about the video in the description area. This is also a great location to put your social media information for your viewers to contact you outside of YouTube.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    4.) Playlists<\/span> – Having your videos in playlists also helps your video’s ranking as well. If your content is segmented and orgainzed into groups of similar content this helps YouTube even more in knowing what the video is about. With that being said YouTube’s\u00a0algorithm will value your content even more if it is placed in a relevant playlist.<\/p>\n
