Uploading Videos and SEO Tactics

Now we’ll upload the video and then show you what to do with it once it’s up. These little tips can make the difference between your video been found and potentially watched again and again vs. sitting in obscurity.

1.    Click on the ‘Upload’ link at top of page

2.    Select a video from your computer

3.    Under ‘Video Information and Privacy Settings’ you want to do the following:

  • Title of video
    • What are the keywords/phrases you want this video to be found for
      • Use a combination of the keywords and/or intrigue
      • Remember, closer the keyword is to start of title, the better
      • Fewer words in title, the more focused it is on that term
      • Example:
        • Biceps Curl – USELESS?
  • Description
  • Put whichever URL link you want to send traffic to first
    • This will be visible to the visitor
  • OR, put your keyword phrase first if it’s short enough to still allow your URL to be visible
  • Next, write an intriguing description that is keyword focused sentence/question
  • Focus on keyword density

Tags

  • Want your videos to come up whenever anyone is searching for anything related to your video, so make sure you use your keywords here
  • Also, the more tags you use, the more searches you’ll show up for within YouTube
    • So if some of the ‘Suggestions’ are applicable, add them

Category

Privacy

  • Select ‘Public’ so people can see it
