YouTube is the World's 2nd most visited website and what many people forget - it is also a search engine but for videos. If you can rank no.1 in YouTube you are also seen in Google. You can learn more here visit: http://livingformondays.com/3546/the-ultimate-guide-on-how-to-rank-youtube-videos/

1. Your Ultimate
Guide To Rank
Your YouTube
Videos No. 1 In
Google

2. On Page factors
Factors you can influence directly on YouTube

3. Your YouTube channel
Create for each blog a separate YouTube
account.
If you have for example a blog about “losing
weight in 30 days” then try to call it this,
Weight Loss in 30 days or something similar.
This helps with the ranking in the search
engines because your keyword is already
selected in the YouTube account and
therefore, Google “knows” what it is about.

4. Title of your videos
The title of your video is the most important
feature for search engine optimization.
It’s the most important “On Page”(on the site)
optimization factor.
Add the keywords to your title
If your video is about “losing weight in 30
days” then your title should be similar or the
keyword should be “built into” the title.

5. A small side note:
Before you are aiming at a specific keyword search, try to search for it by
yourself. If your video is e.g. about “making money online” and you have
videos with 20,000 + views from YouTube accounts that have been
around for years, then you will have it really hard to rank for that keyword.
At this point you may want to consider key phrases that are perhaps
longer or more specific, and don’t have so much competition.
For researching keywords I use Market Samurai. I get a lot of other
potential keywords delivered this way which I can use and have all the
data at a glance. Nobody really needs Market Samurai but it makes the
lives of everyone who wants to make money on the Internet much easier.

6. The description of your video
The description of your video is the second
most important “On Page” factor for your
video.
Whatever you insert in the description – first,
use your keyword and then the URL of your
video.
Then you can also mention the keyword again
without fearing a degradation of Google.

7. Tags to describe your video
Another important factor for the On Page optimization
is the use of tags.
Use as many as you can. Search for videos about
your topic and look at what tags are used.
Create a list and use them for your video. The more
specialized the better.
Always remember that YouTube is just a search
engine for videos. The more tags you use, the easier
YouTube can “read” your video and recommend it to
other visitors.

8. Off Page factors
Factors that effect the ranking of your video outside of YouTube

9. Views
In order to rank higher than your competitors, you need to have more
people who have seen your videos. The odds are good if you have more
people viewing your video than your competitors, then you will be classified
“as important” and appear higher in the search results.
On sites like “Fiverr.com“, views can be purchased for $5. But you should
make sure that your views are growing slowly and that you don’t get 10,000
views in three hours.
Ultimately, I rather recommend you to promote your own video. A well
made and interesting video is often viewed and shared with friends. Send
the video to your email list (I use Aweber), and link it in forums to relevant
articles or load it up on other sites. This way you build up not only more
backlinks, but also you will get real people who are interested in your video
and watch it.

10. You can also work at additional views
Anyone can log in to sites like AddmeFast.com,
YoulikeHits.com or Vagex and collect “likes” and “views”.
The principle is simple. You subscribe and then you add your
videos. The more videos you look at from others (you’ll just
have to open the “look through”) the more points you get which
you can use for your own videos. This is similar to the principle
of Stumble Upon. I’ve often thought that I get more traffic from
that site when I look at a few pages they offer me before.

11. Likes & Subscribe
You can also use the above services to get
many subscribers, likes, and comments on
your videos.
Of course, try to make it look as natural as
possible. These techniques are not illegal but
they are trying to “fool” the YouTube system
and because of this you have to be cautious.

12. Embed your video on other sites
The purpose of social media is of course sharing. If your video is embedded on other
sites, it’s considered by the webmaster to be valuable. So you can still do something
for your ranking. Don’t just embed your video on your blog, and your Facebook site, or
other Web 2.0 sites, but also on the following video sharing sites:
Flixya.com
SBNation.com
Indyarocks.com
Twitvid.com
Wonderhowto.com
The good thing about these sites is that you are just using your YouTube code:
copy and paste. There are pages with high PageRank, much traffic, and a
contribution to a good ranking.
Spike.com
Break.com
Myvidster.com
Videosift.com
Buzzfeed.com
