Hashtags on description?

[Hitech Central]

I was wandering if hashtags help a video to rank? I have seen that if you place hashtags in description they appear below video's title. Any thoughts?

I watched it...but didn't get a definite answer. I'm still confused.

It does help you rank for those #hashtags But don't get your hopes up. People have been tagging for ages even before it was implemented.

No need to make it look like spam. Just simply optimize it for keywords.

I will put the hashtags at the end of video's description
