Method is old but you'll get the idea
Ranking YouTube videos for most search terms isn't difficult because YouTube is an authority site. This means that Google feels it is very trustworthy and thus anything posted there gets favorable treatment in the search results pages. And of course being an authority site means you can safely boost up your videos with lots of backlinks and not fear a Google penalty. Of course no ranking recipe works 100% of the time. There are too many variables to consider – competition inside YouTube, description optimization, backlinks built, type of query that Google returns, etc. But with this approach you should rank videos quickly and safely more often than not. The first time using this process, be prepared to spend 1 hour setting up the necessary accounts and learning the process. After that, each new video will take less than 5 minutes to rank.
Step 1: Make a video and upload it
The first step in ranking a video is to create one that people want to see, like, and share.
*Longer videos tend to rank better, so try to make them on the longer side. More information in your videos makes people want to watch them, so the more details you can add the better.
*Do not use PowerPoint or other slideshow videos you will lose the viewer’s attention quickly.
*On the video thumbnails, if possible use headshots. This will make your video more enticing and likely to get clicked.
*Be sure and point back to your MONEY SITE on every image you feature especially the intro and outro.
*Add annotations and include a link back to your site.
Video Description:
1.Make sure your main keyword appears in the title of your video. For example, if your main keyword is “YouTube Ranking Secrets" you will need to put it in the title.
2.Your main keyword should appear in your description.
3.Limit your descriptions to 300 words or less.
4.Include appropriate tags at the end of your description. Use at least 5 of your keywords (or other words likely to be searched).
5.Add keywords similar to: Buy, Review, or Offer next to the title of your video. This lets people know that you have something that they might be interested in buying.
Step 2: Offsite SEO
Doing "off-page" work is usually necessary for ranking videos. This step includes adding both social signals as well as traditional link building to rank your video. You'll want to be sure that you use an appropriate amount of links + signals as well as get good keyword diversity.
*Add a link to the video on your website. (Obvious, right?!) If you can add it to any other sites that you have access to, even better. The more links that flow into your web site – especially higher quality links –the better you’ll rank for all terms.
Step 3: Competitive Keywords are Harder
For keywords that are more competitive, you need to put a bit more work. This can entail buying more links or performing manual link building work such as obtaining Google+ shares or FB comments.
*At Google, search using Plus.google.com “your keyword”. Go to those Google Plus pages and make an insightful comment and include your video link.
*Comment on websites that use the Facebook Social Plugin
*At Google, search using “Facebook social plugin” “your keyword”. Go to those Facebook comment-enabled pages and make an insightful comment and include your video link.
Other Helpful Tips:
*Add more videos to your YouTube channel. Channels with more videos get better results.
*The more links you can get, the quicker your video will rank.
Results Can Come Fast Your video can start showing up in the SERPs almost immediately for long tail keywords. For other keywords you’ll need to do more work as outlined above.
