Why do some videos do better?

I have this channel where I destroy Gingerbread houses and stuff, and I couldn't help but notice this one guy who made a video where he lit one on fire and it got like 100,000 views but my videos barely break 100 ever. Is he buying views? Is there a way to market my videos like his? Help would be greatly appreciated!

keywords + backlinks is usually what does it...combined with social signals and some luck

Your competitor is sucking the gingerbread man off.... and giving him reach-arounds at every chance he gets.


Kind of like myself and Mr Cutts.

(though my GF does owe cutts a BBJ for giving my #1 place for one KW)

But like the last guy said, KW, BL's, Shares, and High quality views. Not a lot of views, but HQ ones to get things started with.
