The easiest and most important way that you can increase your You Tube views is by using the appropriate keywords in the right places. Keywords are words that users type into the search engine. The top results are the best keyword matches, and they are displayed on the first page of the search results. Having your video on the first page will translate into more views.

Finding the right keywords is the first place to start. Enter in three words into the YouTube search engine that would best describe your video. Now review the results. Click the one with the most views. Look at the tags used, and see how the words were used in the title. Check the description as well to see how the keywords were used.

Now, use the keywords you have and use them in your video. Put three in your title, three in the tags, and be sure to use the keywords in your description about every 100 words. Don’t copy the title, use a mix of the words you have. For example, if the video that has the most hits was titled “Editing Online Video”, simply change the words to something like “Online Video Editing”.

Another way to increase your hits is marketing. Find message boards and forums that deal in the subject at hand, and post a link to your video in them. Make sure you do this in the appropriate thread, or you could upset the forum moderator. For instance, don’t put the link “Comic Books Starring Superman” in a thread that deals with the television program Survivor.

Having your own blog is also another great way to increase views. Blogs are great because they are free and you can embed your video on the blog. Embedding the video will allow your video to be seen on your site and increase the views as it’s viewed. To see how it works, do a search to find how other bloggers are using video.

To embed a video, simply look to the right of the video you are watching for the embed video code. Copy and paste it in your blog. The box will then turn blue. You’ll see the long code that will appear on your blog as a video

Besides marketing your videos, you will need to market yourself. Join message boards and post on blogs that deal in the subject that your videos are about. Don’t just use these places as an advertisement for your videos, offer thoughtful comments pertaining to the discussion at hand. People will then check out your videos, and if they like them, they will tell others about them.

Follow all the steps listed above and I guarantee your You Tube Video views will increase dramatically!
