Did you know that most YouTube videos and channels are not completely optimised, even by big companies?

Right now there is an opportunity to get ahead of many of your competitors by optimising your videos properly, and getting higher up in the search engines rankings.

There are quite a few ways to optimise your YouTube videos and increase your search engine rankings. Here are 5 useful tips to get you started.

5 YouTube SEO Tips:

  1. One major trick is to let users interact and embed your videos on their websites/blogs.
  2. Wherever possible include links in profile pages.
  3. Include appropriate keywords in the name of the video, and use the word "video" when appropriate.
  4. For each video, write a unique, keyword-rich description that includes a URL.
  5. Take advantage of YouTube's captions and annotation features.

Why use video?

It is now more important than ever to keep your website fresh and up to date. Recent changes in Google methods of indexing website content has made it's search results even faster. Google calls this faster method “Google Caffeine” and it is making a big difference to the way search results are being displayed.

Videos are a great way to present fresh content on your website, and by using a social website like YouTube or Vimeo, you can increase your exposure dramatically by tapping into their social networks.
