How do we optimize for these keywords?<\/strong><\/h5>\nPut the best keywords in the title of your video and use 400+ word descriptions stuffed with the right keywords for each video. The description should cover the main points of the video and the benefits of watching. It should also include time stamps (i.e. \u201c11:15 How viral loops work\u201d) to guide the viewer. To take it one step further, I like to include an email address with an autoresponder thanking them for their inquiry and asking them to sign up on my list. Lastly, I include a link straight to the landing page to collect emails. Sometimes I use the link to my Facebook Group instead. Next, find out what videos are referring you traffic and subscribers (maybe your own), then optimize for the keywords in the video title names and channel names. For example, if Justin Bieber’s channel is sending me a lot of traffic along with one particular video of his, then I\u2019ll insert his channel name and video title name into my keyword list when optimizing for traffic. If you\u2019re interested in how much traffic keywords can pull, then log-in to your AdWords account and go to the Display Planner, enter a keyword (or several) and hit Get Ad Group Ideas. By selecting under Filters \u201cAd formats and sizes video,\u201d you\u2019ll get a better overview of what keywords people are searching specifically when watching YouTube. I tend to find a few golden nuggets from the suggestion under the \u201cIndividual targeting ideas\u201d tab. If you\u2019re looking to optimize your videos for SEO, remember subscribers and retention rate are your two most important metrics. Always optimize your videos for these metrics when you upload them. Don\u2019t wait. You\u2019ll have a massive headache from having to go back and look through hundreds of videos and historical data points from your traffic sources. Trust me. I\u2019ve done it. If you can lock down how to use YouTube Analytics to optimize SEO, then you\u2019re ready to become a player on the number two search engine. You just need figure out what content you like to create. It\u2019ll take a little experimenting before you know. Once you do, you\u2019re off to the races.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
