\nYouTube has 122 million daily active users, and 500 hours of content gets uploaded to YouTube every minute. That\u2019s some rapid rivalry; naturally, not every video stands out.

Let\u2019s start with a short explanation.<\/strong><\/p>\n Optimization<\/strong>: is the process of making something as good or effective as possible. It is also an act, process, or methodology of making something (such as a design, system, or decision) as fully perfect, functional, or effective. This is a process of finding the best possible solution to a problem, to write or modify (a computer program) to achieve maximum efficiency in storage capacity, time, cost, etc.<\/p>\n YouTube:<\/strong> is a video sharing service where users can create their own profile, upload videos, watch, like and comment on other videos.

You need to optimize your content if you want more people to see it, here is how you can optimize your videos for YouTube.<\/strong><\/p>\n Do your Research<\/strong><\/p>\n Research your topic before you start creating. Before you set up your lights, before you plug in your microphone. Search for the topic you\u2019re looking to create content around. Are people interested? What questions do people have that you can answer? What\u2019s the content gap you\u2019re going to fill? This information will determine your SEO strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick your Keywords<\/strong><\/p>\n What information are your likely audience looking for? What are they typing into the search bar? A little keyword research will help you craft your topic.<\/p>\n Think long-tail<\/strong><\/p>\n Get specific. Think about what your ideal viewer is really looking for. Instead of \u201cSan Diego Zoo\u201d target something like \u201cwhat to do at San Diego Zoo.\u201d Instead of \u201cmakeup,\u201d think \u201csmokey eye makeup how to.\u201d Look for the sweet spot of high traffic and low struggle. Avoid wide, single word key expressions.<\/p>\n Check the Overall Score<\/strong><\/p>\n Look at the Overall Score in Tube Buddy Keyword Explorer to see how well a certain keyword will perform. The Weighted Score takes into consideration your channel\u2019s size and average views per video. The Unweighted Score doesn\u2019t account for that information and is more general. Look at the Weighted Score for the most correct guess for your channel exactly.<\/p>\n Green Means Go<\/strong><\/p>\n Keyword Explorer makes YouTube video SEO as easy as it can be. Research with different keywords and key phrases. Use the Weighted score specifically. It balances how many people are searching for a given keyword and how heavy the competition is. This is the best gage for how your key phrases will perform. Move the gauge into the green and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n Be Consistent<\/strong><\/p>\n Keep targeting the same keywords and key expressions. The more you cover one topic, the more authority YouTube, Google, and other search engines accept you have. Save keywords and key phrases to your Tag List in Tube Buddy Keyword Explorer.<\/p>\n Save That for Later<\/strong><\/p>\n You won\u2019t always be ready to roll on a new video idea when it hits you. If the keyword data says it\u2019s a good topic, save it to your Tube Buddy Video Topic Designer. Next time you\u2019re trying to figure out what video you should create, you have an idea at the ready.<\/p>\n Prioritize Title, Description, Tags<\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube prioritizes three main pieces of metadata when understanding and recommending a video in search. First is your video\u2019s title. Next, it\u2019s the video description. Third is the tags. Spend YouTube search optimization efforts accordingly.<\/p>\n Go for an Exact Match<\/strong><\/p>\n Include that exact search phrase you\u2019re targeting in your title. Tube Buddy Title Generator makes this easy. Include the same words in the same order. For example, if we\u2019re targeting \u201cSan Diego Zoo Bus Tour,\u201d \u201cMy Bus Tour of the San Diego Zoo\u201d isn\u2019t the best title. Simply restating to \u201cMy San Diego Zoo Bus Tour\u201d will net better results. Using the exact term will ensure YouTube connects our video with the phrase we want to target.<\/p>\n From Left to Right<\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube reads titles like Westerners read English. Left to right, in order of importance. So, get your exact match key phrase in there as soon as possible. Don\u2019t stuff it in at the end.<\/p>\n Split The Title<\/strong><\/p>\n When optimizing your YouTube videos for search and for human readers, splitting the title into two parts can help. Get your key phrase in there first, then add context and induce the viewer to click through and let them know what your video is all about.<\/p>\n Use Dividers<\/strong><\/p>\n You can separate your title to help make it easier to read using a few different types of dividers.<\/p>\n Common YouTube Title Dividers<\/strong><\/p>\n : (colon)<\/p>\n | (vertical bar)<\/p>\n \u2013 (hyphen or dash)<\/p>\n > (greater than)<\/p>\n * (asterisk)<\/p>\n YouTube reads right through a divider when looking at a title. So, a title like \u201cSan Diego Zoo | Bus Tour Information\u201d hits our \u201cSan Diego Zoo Bus Tour\u201d key phrase perfectly. You can use just about any divider you like but be reliable. That\u2019s not a YouTube SEO tip but rather a style point.<\/p>\n Key Info Up Top<\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube focuses on the first 200 characters of your description\u2026 and so you should too. Get your exact key phrase in there early. Get as much SEO info up top.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t Keyword Stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ve all seen titles and descriptions with keywords stuffed in. It\u2019s obvious and as a viewer (or a shopper, looking at you Amazon resellers) it\u2019s a turn-off. YouTube search knows this too and will penalize videos that stuff in keywords. Rephrase your title and keyword phrase naturally into the first 200 characters of your description. For example: \u201cJoin us as we take the San Diego Zoo Bus Tour and fill you in on what you need to know.<\/p>\n
