My YouTube Experiment Week 2

So, most of the advice I seem to be getting is to properly tag your video. That and good description is what your YouTube video needs. This, of course is bullshit. Yet, that is what I am trying. After posting Sunday morning, by Tuesday morning I have a whopping 13 hits (and two of those is from me).


Now, I've been searching for answers to just how some of the most worthless, crappy videos get thousands, even millions of hits on YouTube. How is this possible, I ask?

They cheat!

Here is a good example of what is going on.



But beyond that, since I can't really do anything about the cheaters, and I refuse to cheat, what have I been doing? I've been looking fro good, original content, and when I find such content, I've been subscribing and leaving comments. This, obviously, is an attempt to get them to do the same for me. I should say, I only subscribe to videos I actually like, ones that entertain me! Hey, someone has got to do things the right way.

How to Get Ranked on YouTube

The question I've noticed a lot of people asking, including myself, is how do YouTube rankings work. I've done some searching and really, all I find a crap. One site gave these three criteria:

• The title of your video
• The description of your video
• The tags that you assign to your video

Now that is really crap. Search any subject on you tube, look at the highest ranks and read the descriptions, titles and tags. You'll find yourself asking "How the hell did that video get one of the top rankings" I've seen videos with almost no descriptions, one bad tag, and such a generic title and yet has 50,000 views.

I do a weekly entertainment video, as you probably know from this website. I've been playing around with all three of these things and nothing has really helped. I know one thing that will get you ranked higher . . have a pretty, blond and young girl be in your vid!

I do think that links to the video. comments and "likes" might have something to do with it. after all, I believe YouTube is controlled by Google and they love playings with rankings.

Over the next few months, I'll be tracking my videos and experimenting with ways to get ranked higher and I'll let you know what my results are. If you have any information that might help me, please let me know!

And for God's sake, watch COFFEE WITH JEFF!!!!
