HELP: Trying to rank a Youtube video

A few weeks ago I uploaded a Youtube video for a low competition keyword. I haven't yet been able to rank on the 1st page yet, and I can't seem to figure out why. My keyword has the word "price" in it, and all the results are missing the word "price" when doing a Google search, so I figure it must be pretty easy to rank... not the case unfortunately.

So my question is... is it possible there is something I'm doing on the video to make it not rank properly? Or do I just need to build backlinks to it? There's already a Youtube video up there and it seems like it has 200 backlinks or so. I thought it had a really high PR, like something between 4-7.. Although maybe it was showing the PR of Youtube. I just ran a test now on some random pagerank site and it shows 0.

Anyways, any suggestions? I haven't done much yet my lifetime in terms of backlinks, but I expect to be able to rank without it, but it never happens.

Do I need backlinks to rank anything I post online?

1. HR views. 2000
2. Add as many tags as possible, keep em relevant.
3. Make sure ur title is a long tail keyword and optimized for search
4. use u2bviews or vagex to get REAL comments and likes. about 500 likes, at least 200 comments.
5. go to fiverr or the market section here and buy a GSA campaign and/or xrumer campaign and add as many relevent backlinks as possible, at least 1000.

6. Thank me in a week when you rank.

Can you recommend any other sources for views? u2bviews used to work great in the past but seems like it's not working any more. Vagex is not accepting registrations.

I have an account for enhanceviews and they work great for likes and comments, but when it comes to views they are slow, I get stuck at 301, so I'm looking for a good source for that.

haha you guys are funny.

Regarding the tags, HR views, likes, comments, etc. Do these help with Google ranking as well? Or just youtube ranking?

i ranked my youtube video within 3 days ... its on 5th number on google.com for a clickbank product and its the first youtube video in the list of searches on the page. The other video uploaded 7 months ago i guess was ranking for the same keyword, i uploaded the videos blasted it with spun content and third day my video is ranked hehe.

You should consider getting some manual backlinks done. There are a few gigs in Fiverr I have used that seem to rank YT videos better than an SENuke blast. Also make sure your onpage is done correctly.
