Where as in times gone by the view count would fully determine your search position now many elements make up the mix for getting your video to the top of the search results. Where your views originated from holds different forms of weight. For example having views from a Youtube search or from a website holds more weight than views 13

15 from a mobile device. This is because mobile views are easily faked due to the mobile phone networks working from a small pool of IP addresses. To check where your view traffic has come from click the graph beneath the Youtube video (highlighted) and then a graph of your view performance as well as referrers and demographics will appear There are many sites like who provide you with Youtube views as a cheap cost but remember to keep the ratio of views/comments and likes realistic 5.7 Comments, Likes and Favorites Getting comments, likes and favourites is another must for your Youtube strategy.

Link Building Building links and social signals to your video helps improve your ranking on Youtube as well as creating greater exposure and awareness for your video 6.1 Social Signals Share your videos out through your social networking channels like Facebook and Twitter asking your followers to share, like, comment and re-tweet your video.

If viewers are only watching the 1 st 10 seconds of your video then you will struggle to rank even with all of the other elements of the Youtube SEO mix in place. To combat this make sure your video content is interesting and keeps the viewers occupied until the end 7.2 Recommended videos The recommended videos appear on the right hand side of your Youtube video (see below) The recommended videos are based on the same algorithm which powers Amazon and old tricks like playing two videos in succession. The core of the algorithm is now based upon the viewer retention of your videos 7.3 Video sharing sites 18

20 Video sharing sites like and Viewet.com allow you to enter into a sharing system where you watch and likes on other videos and other users will do the same to yours. Sites like this usually do the views, likes or comments automatically and for each that you do you will earn an amount of points which you can claim back to in turn boost your videos views, likes, comments.
