How to Rank High on Youtube

Youtube Traffic Monster

Did you know that youtube.com is ranked number 3 on the entire internet as one of the most popular sites in the world according to Alexa.com

Of course you knew that well here is couple of statistics you might enjoy..

  • Total number of YouTube videos = over 120,000,000
  • Number of videos uploaded per day = about 200,000
  • Time required to see all the videos = over 600 years
  • Number of videos watched daily = over 100,000,000
  • Amount of content uploaded every minute = 13 hours
  • Number of accounts on YouTube = over 300,000,000

Obviously this is the best place to drive traffic to your website or become popular online but competition is tough and get your videos to be seen by people becomes more difficult by the minute.

So, today you I will share some of my tricks that I personally use to get more views,ratings and subscribers into your youtube account.

Page 1 of Youtube

Youtube is kinda like Google, people search for something and expect to get results (in this case videos)related to the keywords they used..

Well lets say you wanted to post a video about " How to make a blog" if you go on youtube now and type that exact same thing about 85,000 results will show but of course most people only look at the first page, your goal is to be on that first page and this is how to do it.

SECRET TIP # 1: Every time your going to upload a new video search for keywords related to the content of the video your going to upload, the video with most views will pop up on the first page so before you upload your video, click on the first video of the first page and see their video info. You must copy their tags only not their description.The purpose of this is to get your video to be in their related videos even though yours is new giving you a bigger chance of exposure.

NOTE: If your video has alot of views it will instantly dominate the keyword your aiming making you number 1 on the first page, and even if it doesnt have alot of views it is still possible to be on the first page just by copying the tags of the most popular video

Increase Your Youtube Views

Some people try to cheat youtube to try to get more exposure for their videos using Autorefreshers and softwares like Tubeincreaser to give fake views to their videos. I believe this is unnecessary because the whole point of uploading videos is for people to see them.

But, if you still feel the need to do it, you can do it withing youtube simple.

SECRET TIP # 2: After you have uploaded your video go to My Videos> AudioSwap and click on "I'm feeling lucky" as many times as you feel like it, this action will reload your video again, and again with different songs in seconds, giving you instant views everytime you reload,once you get the views you want simply exit and dont save your changes, since your doing it within youtube, your views will not be frozen once they hit a certain amount, but if you use software like tubeincreaser there is a chance your views will get frozen

AUDIOSWAP: allows you to replace the background sound of your music with music provided by youtube

Getting Subscriptions, Comments & Ratings

Subscriptions in youtube are the main topic, people like having subscribers which is the equivalent to followers on Twitter, Now I will share some tips that will help you gain subscribers in youtube.

  • Offer something free to share with viewers, or give something free to viewers for example an e-book or share something someone might enjoy usually giving freebies can help you gain subscribers
  • Upload videos every month constant activity and videos in your channel will gain you subscribers, there is more chances of getting subscribers if you have 5 videos than someone that has 1
  • Subscribe to other people's channels sometimes they will sub back
  • Comment, rate and complement videos as well as channels that you like some users will appreciate it and subscribe in return
  • Also add as many friends as you can, not only will make you popular but your videos will get viewed more.


Youtube & Google

Since Youtube is owned by Google, your videos can sometime show as results in Google, the more views you have the more traffic your going to get and the more popular your channel will be.

One more tip when uploading a video make sure your video title always is clear and related to the content of the video, when a user makes a search on youtube or google they look for titles related to the keywords

if your title is "How to make a blog" and a user types that same keywords then most likely your video will show as first result, numbers and symbols might not be helpful to better rankings in youtube or google.

Those are some pretty good tips. I would think there are even more videos than that! Or maybe I just watch the same ones over and over so it seems like there are more :)

Great tips, I saved the page immediately after staring to read it. This kinda info is great to hear but it's a little scary to hear about the cheat factor.

I had no idea until earlier this morning that you could make money by posting on Youtube. Unfortunately, I don't think I have anything that would be popular enough to make me money.

The amount of content uploaded per minute has at least doubled since you wrote this. I guess that just shows how much youtube is growing!

Useful info indeed. I've launched a video on my ebook which teaches you how to increase your sales and I had already optimized the video [which you can view here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfdUh9ez9iQ ] got on the first page for like 20 keyphrases of which I placed in the first position for 8 keyphrases. I learned more through this posting when it came to copying popular videos' tags lets see what that'll bring. Thanks!
