Video marketing through major video sites like YouTube are an excellent way to brand your product, promote a service, or drive traffic to your website. These days it’s almost mandatory to do some form of video marketing due to the algorithms Google has in place. In case you haven’t noticed, just about any query made in Google will display videos in the search results. Why not have your videos showing up in those search results? In this case it’s much easier said than done. Most internet marketers put out videos that sink like a rock in YouTube’s search results and do the same in Google’s search results as well. Now I’m not here to tell you there is some magic YouTube views increaser that will put your video at the top of the search results, but there are some steps you can take to help get your videos ranking well.
1. The first and most important is your video title. This should have your main keyword phrase that you would like to rank for. The title should also be well researched. Don’t just put some highly competitive keyword phrase and expect to rank for it. Use a keyword analysis tool to find a keyword phrase within your niche that gets a fair amount of searches but is not completely saturated.
2. Your video description should be fairly long. In other words don’t just copy and paste you main keyword phrase here. Try and write a couple of paragraphs worth of keyword rich content. Your hyperlink or URL should be within the first 5 words so that the viewer can easily find it and click on it.
3. The tags for the video should have your main keyword phrase plus 3 to 5 more tags that are related keywords with low competition. Again, do your keyword research to find highly valuable keywords. Also be sure to utilize common misspellings for a chance to show up for those bad spellers or typos.
4. It’s very important that you water mark your video with your website so that it cannot be used without your permission. Watermarking also gives the viewer a constant reminder of where to go to get more information on the topic.
5. Be sure your video has a call to action. Think about what you want your viewer to do. Do you want them to call a phone number, visit your website, or click an affiliate link? Whatever the action is, you need to make sure your viewers are given specific instructions.
6. No harm will ever come from naming your video file with your keyword phrase. I see this all too often, a video file is named video1.wmv instead of anything related to what the video is actually about. Many video sites actually have the original video file name listed on the video viewing page itself. This is another opportunity to target more keywords, so use it.
7. You need views on your video. So how do you do this? Well, there are many websites and programs out there claiming to be the best YouTube views increaser. However, there are only a few that will deliver on their promises. Firstly, don’t purchase X amount of views for a steep price, they never deliver. Secondly, using some cheap software that burns through a proxy list will not work either, YouTube is on to this and they will not count many of the proxies you use. These types of programs also require you to leave your computer on all day and night while it runs, that’s not fun especially when you are trying to work and you have some program running in the background eating up all of your virtual memory. More information on the best YouTube views increaser can be found here. It works, and it’s Adsense safe because they are real visitors, not bots or any other kind of automated scripts. I can honestly say I have never had any videos banned while using this service and I actually get invited for YouTube’s revenue sharing on each video much faster than just letting the video sit there and rack up natural views.
8. Don’t forget to also promote your video just like you would your website. You need solid back links as well with valuable anchor text. So take the time to do a little link building for your YouTube video.
If you implement all of the above methods to promote your video and help it in the search engine rankings you will be ahead of 99% of the competition. If you put all that time and effort into making, editing, and submitting the video at least give it a chance to rank well by taking a little bit further.
