Friends, before talking about YouTube SEO, I would like to tell you what is YouTube SEO really? And what is this Video SEO useful for? And how do you use YouTube Video SEO
What is YouTube SEO?
What SEO means Search Engine Optimization. Like we use search engine optimization in Google to rank the website for our keywords. So that our site can come at number one, it happens in the same way, YouTube SEO.
Meaning We have to put our YouTube video at number one for any keyword. So we have to do YouTube SEO of that video. Meaning we have to make some such improvements in that video, so that that video comes first in YouTube’s search list.
To understand YouTube SEO better, look at the example given below:
For example I go to YouTube and search: digital ocean droplet
When I search [digital ocean droplet] this video comes up, but [digital ocean droplet] is a keyword. It means when I search this keyword, then these videos are ranking for this keyword,
If me or you want to rank for this sam keyword, then you have to do better Youtube Video SEO than these videos. Only then our video will come above all these videos.
In simple language, Youtube SEO means to tell Youtube that our video is about this. And our video has these things, and our video is for this keyword. And our video is giving great information about this. So that our YouTube video can be ranked.
I hope you have understood the fundamentals of this ‘keyword and SEO’. So let’s and move on.
YouTube Video SEO
I will tell you in complete details [from beginning to end], how to do video SEO, how to choose video title, what to put in video description, what tags to use. All in all, just keep reading this post.
Even before doing video SEO [Search Engine Optimization], it is very important that you know what you have to put a video about so that you know that people are searching about this on YouTube.
What people are looking for on YouTube, you have to put a video about the thing that people are looking for a lot, because if you put a video that people are not looking for, then your No one will watch the video.
So first of all you have to choose a topic, which you can do well. And you can make videos on it for a long time. If you are reading this post, it means you have selected your topic/topic.
[Note: There are some topics like entertainment, funny, viral whose SEO is slightly different, and almost not even needed]
If you still haven’t selected your topic, then read the following post:
On which topic it would be beneficial to put YouTube channel and YouTube videos.
For example, I put videos on this website and information in Hindi YouTube channel only on things like Blogging, SEO, YouTube Tricks and Hosting. And today I will show you the SEO of a video related to hosting.
Finding Keyword or Idea for YouTube Video
Before doing YouTube video SEO, you should have excellent knowledge of keywords, such as what is the keyword, how many people are searching that keyword. And what do people search for along with its keywords.
For example, look at the photo below:
These keywords are told from YouTube, as soon as you search for something in YouTube, YouTube will automatically show you results similar to what people are looking for.
As you can see, I have to put the video on this keyword: [digital ocean droplet]. But along with this keyword, people are also searching for these things, which are similar to my video.
You can check the trending page of YouTube for viral videos. Also you will get ideas from google trends.
I hope you have already done your topic and keyword research. If not, then it doesn’t matter, read this post.
YouTube Keyword Research: How to find YouTube video keywords.
Create an Engaging Videos
Now you will ask what difference does this thing make, no sir, it makes a lot of difference. Even if you got the video rank. But if the beholder does not like it and he leaves in the middle and goes back.
And if all the viewers go back like this, then YouTube will think that people are leaving its video in the middle. Maybe its video is not giving good information, or the video is boring. So Google will down the rank of your video.
So make your videos engaging, informative, and full of entertainment. So that people can see and share also.
Below are some things that can increase or decrease the ranking of your video.
CTR:
It directly affects your video. Video Title and thumbnail will increase CTR. So make the video title and thumbnail attractive.
Engagement:
If your video is attractive, or giving complete information. So the user would stay connected to your video. If the user likes your video very much, then he sees a lot of your videos too. Which is a plus point.
Watch Time:
Make the length of your video at least four to five minutes. And if your keyword video is longer than five minutes, then keep in mind that your video should be ten minutes long.
Also, if your video is not good, then the viewer will watch the video only for fifteen to thirty seconds, which will have a bad effect on your video ranking.
YouTube Video Optimization
Now comes the case of video optimization. In this, you will know how to enter the title, tags, description and thumbnail of a YouTube video. But before that you have to do some setting of the video.
As seen in the image above, you also have to change the title of your video. Your keyword should also be there in it.
Some people also recommend putting title, tags in the video in this way. You can add all this by going to the properties of the video. This is all your personal choice.
I rarely think this thing works, because YouTube renders our videos in many formats like 360p, 480p, 720p and many more. But if you want to do all this, you can do it.
Now your video is ready to be uploaded, now in YouTube click on the upload button above, and select your video. Now many options will come in front of you.
Let’s move on.
YouTube Video SEO (Titles, Tags, Description, Thumbnails and Translation)
As you can see, video title, video tags, video description, video thumbnail and video translation put a lot of head in the ranking of videos. Let us know about them in brief.
As you can see, video title, video tags, video description, video thumbnail and video translation put a lot of head in the ranking of videos. Let us know about them in brief.
Youtube Video Title:
The video title tells what your video is about.
- Must enter keywords in video title
- Make video title catchy
Attractive video title helps to increase the CTR of your video.
Youtube Video Description:
YouTube video description tells YouTube what’s in your video. Because youtube can’t read videos.
Write at least two words in your video description. If the video is a tutorial, then their steps can also be told in the video.
Add links to your sites in the video. And also put the link of your social media profiles.
Tip: Some people also put a link to Sam’s video in the video description, and can also put a link to the videos related to it.
YouTube video tags:
It is necessary to put tags in a YouTube video, because it tells YouTube what this video is about, and which video is similar to it. Due to which your video goes in the suggested list of videos of other channels.
Add your keywords to the video tags. And also add similar search. Note: Only enter tags related to the video. It’s not like you are making a video of “how to make paneer pakodas”, and you are putting the tags of “pizza” in the tags.
Tip 1: You look at the videos of that keyword which is ranking, now check their keywords. This will give an idea of keywords. You can use TubeBuddy to spy on keywords.
Tip 2: You choose a tag of your own channel, which you have to put in every video. As BloggingXP’s channel has a separate tag “BloggingXP”, I put it in every YouTube video. It helps you to build branding.
Youtube Video Thumbnails:
As it is said “first impression is last impression”. Because thumbnail is a better image of your video.
You make your thumbnail so attractive that the viewer will be compelled to watch the video. Thubnail helps in increasing your CTR.
High CTR = Higher Ranking + More Views
Tip: Use online photo editing tools like Photoshop and Canva for attractive thumbnails.
Youtube Video Translation:
With the help of YouTube Translation, you can also share your video in different languages.
Like, I put the video “how to make paneer pakoda at home” so I can translate the title of this video and write it as “how to make paneer pakoda at home”.
You can translate a video into as many languages as you want.
For example, the video is in English and you have also included Hindi translation. So your video will be visible in both languages.
Look at the image given below:
When I search in YouTube “Video SEO”
And when I search the same thing in Hindi “Video SEO”
As you can see, the search of both the keywords is different, because both the keywords are different. But still the same video is coming out. All this is amazing of YouTube translation feature. Maybe by now you would have understood.
Tip: If you put a video, then definitely translate it into a different language. It’s your advantage in this.
YouTube End Screen Card:
First of all, both YouTube End Screen Card and YouTube Cards are different things. You can use End Screen cards only in the last five to twenty seconds of the video. But Cards can be used anywhere in the video.
But only one of the two can be used in a video.
The end card is very effective, use them in every video.
YouTube Video Subtitles /CC
Subtitles/CC also plays a part in the ranking of your video. Take advantage of this.
Whatever you say in this, it happens in writing from beginning to end and that too in different languages. As seen in the above picture.
YouTube Video Playlist:
YouTube Playlist is very helpful in getting the videos ranked and getting video views. When creating a playlist, put your keyword in the playlist name.
Add ranking videos and accompanying videos to your video as well.
Friends, this part is over now, now let’s go to the other side
Social Signal
Social signal means how much your video is being shared on social media (like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest), the more shares, the higher the benefit of ranking.
So whenever you put a video, spread it in your profile, Facebook page, Facebook group.
But don’t spamming (I hate spamming?)
Note: You can also buy Fake Social Signals. If these websites can help in ranking then why not in video ranking.
Tip: You can also take the help of Facebook Ads and Adwords.
YouTube Video Embed
Video Embed is helpful in bringing your video ranking and video views. Video embedding works like a backlink. The more embeds the more profit.
You can embed your video on your website. You can also embed by creating web 2.0 . You can also put your video link by going to the blogs of the people. There are many such ways, sir, but you have to be creative.
YouTube Video Views
There is a direct fund of video views, the more views the better ranking (More Views = High Ranking). But keep in mind that the views should be of quality. Every video must be at least 60 to 80%.
You can easily increase views from Social Media, Embeds, YouTube Comments and Fake YouTube Video Views.
Social Media Views
You can easily get video views from Facebook page and Facebook group. You join facebook group your video rated and share your video there. [Please do not spam or else you will be removed from the group]
YouTube Comments Views
You can enter the link of your video by going to the comments of the video related to your video. From that you will get a lot of traffic.
Like if I am making a video about managed wordpress hosting, then I will find videos related to managed wordpress hosting, wordpress hosting and managed hosting and comment on them.
Note: In this way you can bring traffic to your website along with YouTube videos.
Embeds Views
You can embed your video on various websites. Also embed it on your website. Embed also increases the authority of your channel.
Reddit is the best way for traffic, you can bring millions of traffic to your website, sales funnel and YouTube video.
Fake YouTube Views:
Now you will think in your mind that “Now it has started to be thrown”. You must have seen the post of many experts that Fake Views do not work, it is all garbage.
I believe that Fake Views are Fake, nor do they help you to generate Leads. But they have some value, man.
If Fake Traffic Can Work, Fake Social Signals Can Work, Then Why Not Fake Views?
What if you can’t get Lead/Conversion, you can help in initial boost.
You can buy fake YouTube views from any panel but keep in mind that only buy high retention views. And if it’s DripFeed, even better.
If you want country wise traffic then you can also buy HR Country Targeted Views.
Tip: Fake YouTube video views helps your video to go viral, and if done properly, can even land in the trending section.
YouTube Channel Authority
Make your channel an authority. And follow only one thing. For example, if the channel is of Gadget Review, then put video related to Gadget Review and Gadget. You have authorized the channel.
