Businesses and marketers,<br> all love to make an impact with them. Mostly,<br> to showcase more viewers. But,<br> the ranking and knowledge to improvise goes missing here and now. Of course,<br> YouTube is the world\u2019s 2nd biggest search engine. And,<br> that too,<br> with approximately 30 million visitors per day. Thus,<br> not being on YouTube is kind of a loss.\n\nSo,<br> now let\u2019s crack these 9 expert hacks to rank your YouTube videos on Google. And,<br> find out how the SEO works with them. Most of these will get you massive and untapped traffic without much of a hassle.\n\nOh yes,<br> don\u2019t worry \u2013 I am not going to drop some fancy lecture here,<br> just some cool hacks that I have used,<br> and seen results. Today,<br> you will learn and understand:\n\nHow ranking YouTube videos will affect your viewer listing.\nWhat type of content will help in ranking?\nSEO optimization of the video\n\n![Keywords.jpeg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmTvoWGA1VGUXLF1wypxqc4mVDkQF1ecufy88NL4J3ca1n\/Keywords.jpeg)\n\n\nYouTube Ranking Hack#1 \u2013 You Need Video Keywords\nYes,<br> that\u2019s the ABC. You already know how the branding is done for your product or business. But,<br> what most of us forget,<br> is how the ranking is done. Here,<br> if you already have a huge fan-following,<br> you just have to publish. And,<br> the rest is history.\n\nBut,<br> if you don\u2019t,<br> then we have to start from scratch. Now,<br> don\u2019t just spam the content. You have to research your YouTube video keywords.\n\nFind what is currently in the niche. Generally,<br> Google tends to use video results for some main keywords,<br> like:\n\nThe \u201cHow-to\u201d part\n(Item or thing) Review\nTutorials (step-by-step- guide thing)\nAnything related to sports or fitness\nAn type of \u201cFunny\u201d video\nWhy Consider Video Keywords?\nJust like on-page SEO and image optimization,<br> Google catches the name of the raw video file,<br> and then does the ranking.\n\nIn simple,<br> let\u2019s say,<br> you optimize your video for just any keyword,<br> that doesn\u2019t have any video results in Google.\n\nThen,<br> you\u2019ll ONLY get general traffic from YouTube.\n\nOn the other hand,<br> if you optimize for Video Keywords,<br> you\u2019ll get direct traffic to your video from Google\u2019s first page,<br> along with other.\n\nThus,<br> go with a balance,<br> and see amazing results.\n\nHow To Find Video Keywords?\n\n \nLike I said,<br> go with the keywords in your niche. Then see for results. And that\u2019s how you will start the optimization before even posting the video.\n\nThe target keyword should go with at least 300 searches per month on Google. I always use Google keyword planner,<br> before launching any content work for my clients. And,<br> then I work with the niche.\n\nLet\u2019s say,<br> you are a business owner of a new gym,<br> what will you write on Google?\n\nMostly,<br> it will be:\n\nHow to set your gym routine?\n\nOr\n\nA step-by-step gym guide to flaunt abs. Right?\n\nSee,<br> that\u2019s how simple the keyword planning is,<br> and you are just playing with words.\n\n![How-to-make-Awsome-Video.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmSqCFqWWGhgHLQ9vn733adrwk47tazCbj2VYkFuwooN9Q\/How-to-make-Awsome-Video.jpg)\n\nYouTube Ranking Hack#2- Make An Awesome Video\nNow,<br> I won\u2019t watch a video with someone just going on and on with stuff. I will simply move to the next,<br> and never visit that page.\n\nRemember,<br> you have to attract people,<br> not make them run away!\n\nImprove User-Experience For Your Viewers\n\n \nThe catchier the video,<br> the more the results \u2013 this is the game plan. The general rule of thumb is that the video content should be easy,<br> simple and attractive.\n\nInitially,<br> YouTube was okay with collective video content. And,<br> the one with more views got to be included in the ranking grade.\n\nThis made YouTube to revise their search results. Now,<br> it is constantly updating the search algorithm. This is now focused more on a better user-experience.\n\nHowever,<br> the collected clicks still do matter,<br> but,<br> the below metrics are the most important player:\n\nTotal number of comments on the video.\nOver-all seconds per user spent on the video.\nThe aggregated likes on your video.\nVideo sharing count on social media.\nAggregated Subscribers to your video channel.\nSum of viewers who added your video to their favorites.\nThumbs-up and Thumbs-down analytics.\nAnd,<br> the number of times your video is embedded on other sites\nTill yet,<br> there is no official time-limit set by YouTube. But,<br> the more,<br> the merrier,<br> is a better approach. Go for 5 minutes as minimum,<br> and maximum is up-to you.\n\nHowever,<br> don\u2019t just create anything random or useless. Make something worthy to watch. In this way people will be more engaged with you and your BRAND.\n\n![seo-wheel-ss-1920.png (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZeMBdwr2Rpgde637QvVqFGPFdRWiiqhHsxBgLoY79tBC\/seo-wheel-ss-1920.png)\n\nYouTube Ranking Hack#3 \u2013 Follow SEO Pattern\nExtracting the SEO value of your video is important. This is really simple,<br> just like two plus two equals four.\n\nIn general,<br> you have to optimize your video before uploading it on YouTube. And,<br> here is how to do it:\n\nGet your video file ready for upload.\nThen,<br> go to the raw file.\nClick right on the file and select \u2013 \u201cGet Info\u201d.\nNow,<br> you have to add some tags related to the content of your video.\nJust under \u201cName & Extension\u201d,<br> name your file with the niche keywords.\nIn the comments field,<br> add the best possible brief description of your video.\nNow,<br> your video is ready to be uploaded on YouTube.\n\nGo ahead,<br> and upload.\n\nWhen you will do that,<br> you will see a raw video name pop-up,<br> leave it as it is. That\u2019s,<br> the title of your video.\n\nA Tip For All!\n\nJust like with your blog,<br> having the keyword at start affects the ranking. The same will do for your YouTube video too. Add the keyword in the start.\n\nFor example,<br> \u201cGoogle Ranking Hacking Tips: Learn How To Boost Your Traffic Today.\u201d\n\nYouTube Ranking Hack#4 \u2013 Link Your Website\nVery IMPORTANT. Yes,<br> I mean it. Linking is like making a bridge,<br> and connecting,<br> and then interconnecting.\n\nUsually,<br> a lot of my clients don\u2019t understand the importance of linking their website to their video. But,<br> when I explain my reasoning,<br> they understand the importance. This is like adding more aid to the ranking process.\n\nLet me explain it more simply. The call to action,<br> and no call to action method is applicable here.\n\nIf you look at it,<br> technically,<br> YouTube is providing you with a platform with a built in audience.\n\nNow,<br> your job is,<br> to attract those viewers. The engagement should be so interactive that they automatically go to your website.\n\n\nYour real marketing starts at your website. It\u2019s like:\n\nClick on the ad.\nTake their info.\nGive them the offer.\nMake a sale.\nOptimization Matters Everywhere\nOnce you add a link,<br> you need to optimize your video description. For example,<br> if your keyword is,<br> \u201cranking videos on YouTube\u201d,<br> you can also use,<br> \u201chow to let Google rank your videos\u201d,<br> in the content.\n\nYour video transcript is influential,<br> just like the content of your website,<br> or blog,<br> as this helps YouTube to understand more about your video in general.\n\nOptimizing your description is simple,<br> and here is the how to do part:\n\nYou must write approximately 200 to 300 words of content.\nSource an alternative keyword with one off keyword.\nNever duplicate your content.\nAlways use different content for every video.\nDon\u2019t stuff your content with keywords.\nKeep your content original and natural.\nI always write my own content. Whether it\u2019s the blog,<br> or the video. But,<br> if you are too caught-up with work,<br> outsource your content on Fiverr or Upwork.\n\nBut,<br> do lay-out the guidelines for the writer,<br> so they may know what to use when. The \u201cHow\u201d part is your duty. As a result,<br> it may not fall down on you in the end.\n\n![Playlist_Header_large_posterized.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmc9ArCo8bWwyjXBzCMzawDtmc4FXM1EPyRXjibnYFPfzE\/Playlist_Header_large_posterized.jpg)\nYouTube Ranking Hack# 5 \u2013 Play With The Playlist\nYou have got plenty of help from YouTube already. The tools are available,<br> you only need to know how to play with them.\n\nFor example,<br> your YouTube playlist is not there for decoration. It helps to add an additional layer of signals to your video. You can create a new playlist for every video.\n\nAgain,<br> just play along with being simple and original.\n\nHowever,<br> my strong recommendation is to use synonym keywords in every playlist. Let me show this to you with a bit of more explanation:\n\nClick on the playlist on your YouTube video page.\nUse your main keyword first.\nAdd your secondary keyword.\nNow,<br> add your file name.\nThen,<br> add your website name.\nState your video description clearly.\nWrite the name of your playlist.\nUse more tags to catch more viewers with synonyms.\n\n\n![content_video-marketing-part-2.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmTQyyw4ByRMvMkTu1DtCUEq1D8B4ME33MmRn6DkES6hyV\/content_video-marketing-part-2.jpg)\n\nYouTube Ranking Hack# 6 \u2013 Market Your Video\nThe general rule of thumb is to advertise your video everywhere. Technically,<br> you are shouting about it,<br> but with a better understanding.\n\nYou can use the Q&A sites like Yahoo,<br> Quora,<br> and MSN. The best way of using the Alexa ranking of these sites is to be proactive.\n\nYou can embed your videos in the answers. But,<br> don\u2019t try to paste links,<br> or you will be quickly banned.\n\nSearch the niche of the viewers on your brand. See what they are looking for. Go to the relevant section of your niche and answer questions,<br> and then embed your video.\n\nAgain,<br> you can use your virtual assistant to do the task,<br> and only do positive responding with Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts.\n\nThis will give you additional clicks and viewers. And,<br> if you are actually resolving their desperate attempts to get an issue resolved,<br> then by all means \u2013 you get a strong follower linking.\n\n![real-impact-social-media-article.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmYqsxjzQcvScAGS57W4D8kZuQJktLWgsSQ6j8EvMKDUZn\/real-impact-social-media-article.jpg)\n\nYouTube Ranking Hack# 7 \u2013 Be Social\nNow \u2013Now! I am not talking about just any social get-togethers. This is all for your social media presence. Mainly Twitter,<br> Facebook,<br> and Instagram.\n\nUsually,<br> the search engines employ the on-page SEO and off-page SEO. Same is the theory of the YouTube platform.\n\nAbove,<br> we already covered optimization of your video,<br> and that is mainly on-page SEO. For off-page,<br> you have to use social media platforms smartly.\n\nSocial Media And Google,<br> Is Team Now\nWell,<br> that was bound to happen. How can two of the strongest influences stay apart?\n\nGoogle and Social media sites have started the same technique to increase overall user experience.\n\nGoogle acts with social media,<br> and same goes for the social media sites. It\u2019s mainly the interlinking that produces more followers,<br> and views.\n\nHow To Get More Social with Your Videos?\nIt is simple and effective. Google will notice your videos and link them only if you follow the below steps.\n\nYou have to:\n\nMake a social media account,<br> and sync your YouTube account with it.\nThis will automatically syndicate your new video all over the social media.\nGrow your network with social media advertisement and presence.\nJoin the social media groups of your niche.\nYou can post your video in these relevant groups on social networks.\nBuy social signals to get more views.\nTry outsourcing social signals on other vendors Like Upwork or Fiverr.\n\n![home-family-turning-your-bookshelf-into-a-dress-up-closet.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmX7Ns6L7Y28vxcsvnJFn3EBafCQFnMXUToGpioP74zDpp\/home-family-turning-your-bookshelf-into-a-dress-up-closet.jpg)\n\n\nYouTube Ranking Hack# 8 \u2013 Dress-up Your Channel\nDo you go to a business meeting in your nightdress? No,<br> you don\u2019t.\n\nWhy?\n\nBecause,<br> impressions matter. Same is the case with your YouTube channel. You have to dress-up your channel,<br> and your brand. Your viewers will not like to come to your channel and consider it spam.\n\nGoogle and social media sites also understand more about your brand,<br> only if you play it nice.\n\nHere is the trick:\n\nLink all of your social media pages and website together,<br> and their links along.\nUse and add channel images to help users and YouTube to identify your content.\nUpload your channel image in unity with search engine optimization best practices.\nThis will signal search spiders to crawl through your channel content.\nTry to add context to your page with YouTube-channel-name-channel-keywords.JPG\nGo ahead and subscribe to similar channels.\nUse your association with Social media,<br> search engines and YouTube well.\nChoose long descriptions with synonym keywords to boost traffic.\nRemember,<br> the more you go with the details,<br> the more effectively you help your video in Google ranking.\n\nYouTube Ranking Hack# 9 \u2013 Don\u2019t Forget Link Building\nThough,<br> this is the last part of your Google ranking hacks,<br> but it is also the most crucial of all.\n\nLink building is the cement of whatever I have quoted above. Don\u2019t spam your videos,<br> or you will be banned. Stick to low competition keywords. YouTube is smart and will catch you immediately.\n\nMy recommendation is to use high-quality links over a general period of time. You can use:\n\nPrivate Blog networks (PBN)\nSocial bookmarks\nWeb 2.0s.\nTumblr posts\nPinterest pins\nIf you are new to SEO,<br> go with an expert. Let them do the job for you. But,<br> still follow a light and easy span of time to build links. Backlinking is a very powerful tool,<br> but exploiting it is dangerous.\n\nCall To Action!\n\nYouTube is a very hands-on,<br> and strong platform. You don\u2019t want to overdo something,<br> and get a lifetime ban. You get an easy,<br> and quick viewer-base with its user engagement.\n\nI have outlined smart tactics to get your video ranked with ease.
