Hey there, YouTube marketers.
I've been into YouTube for some time now, and i'm here to share what i know about YouTube Ranking in the past, if you also have any suggestions, feel free to comment.
The first thing you would want to do it make sure you have your keyword in every place of your video.
The Tags
If your niche is "free dating" then make sure to write it in the tags like this:
The Title
The title is also very important make sure you don't put to many keywords in your title, do NOT do it like this:
The correct way to do this:
Bonus:
Sometimes i used a little trick to make the video more attractive by adding a symbol, example:
The Description
The description is used for ranking but it is also used to attract people to finish your video.
Make sure all your keywords are in the description, example:
Do NOT spam all your tags in the description, this will make you unprofessional.
Backlinking
I used to back-link my video's with social-bookmarks (i'm sure you can find plenty of cheap back-linkers at this forum).
And this helped me A LOT I used to rank to the first place, just with the social book-markings (back-links).
At this moment i am trying to rank with SEnukeX but i do not have the results yet so i'll update later.
If you have all that, here is something else that can help you, that I've found recently:
