I found a really cool site full of great information on optimizing your videos for the search engines. Below I swiped content from Garry Przylenk’s blog post…
Optimizing YouTube Videos for SEO
The YouTube algorithm relies on three signals when ranking your videos within YouTube’s search results:
- Text in your titles and descriptions.
- Number of views, and recent trending.
- Ratings.
Here’s a checklist you can follow to optimize your videos in YouTube:
Title text: You have 99 characters to optimize your title text, so consider your target keywords and any other keywords you may want to rank for, but don’t forget including your branding and descriptive text. If you have little chance of getting that top spot, aim for second to boost views by proxy, related videos also get lots of views.
Description: You have 5,000 characters, which is a lot, so use all that space to write as much about your video as possible. Because user ratings and views play a factor in your search rankings within YouTube (and therefore Google), make sure to ask for people to rank your video, but also share and embed your video.
Tags: Useful for search terms you use in your title text and description, including names and branding.
Youtube Broadcasting and sharing options:
Privacy: Most marketers may set videos to private while working on them prior to an official launch date or campaign, just don’t forget to later set them to public.
Comments: It’s up to you whether you want to enable comments. Just remember: if you disable commenting, users will go elsewhere to talk about your video, your brand, or your message.
Video responses: These help boost views because they are automatically linked to your original.
Ratings: These have a direct impact on your rankings, so make sure you set this to “yes.”
Embedding: Blogs and social media shares really boost views, and help your message get to new audiences outside of YouTube, it’s a good idea to keep this enabled.
Syndication: Again, anything to boost your views will help your video rank higher in YouTube and Google, so keep this enabled.

I know that “noise words” and punctuation in the search term doesn’t count, the search engine just ignore them, but what about articles and web content?
Punctuation: Is “painters in Phoenix AZ” consider the same keyword as:” …painters. In Phoenix AZ”…..?
Noise words: Is “painters in Phoenix AZ” is the same as “painters Phoenix AZ”?
Plural: Is “painters” the same keyword as “painter”?
Capital: Is “SEO” is the same as “seo”
thank you very much for the help (:
As well as English words can I put foreign words in the keywords meta tag?
Search engines particularly Google ignore keywords metatags for the reason that many website owners use it to spam the search engines.
If those foreign keywords can be found on the page, then put it. Otherwise if you just want to rank for those terms even if those terms are nowhere in your site (otherwise known as spamming the search engines), I suggest you don’t do it as other search engines may just ban your site
Hi,
If anybody know about Search Engine Optimization, I want to add meta description & keywords in a website. But I don’t know exactly what is the limit for it?
for META keywords & description -
how many words or characters ?
It varies from search engine to search engine. Google reads your meta description tag up to about 160 characters, so you might want to use that as a guide and keep your description short and sweet.
The keywords are less important in terms of this, but you should still make sure that the keywords you use can be associated with content on the page. For safety’s sake keep that under 160 characters as well.

Hi
Visit the site http://www.srantra.com for the top 50 keywords.These words have been retrieved in late februvary and are the latest
i would like to write one page for every keyword and put about 200 relevant words per page about that keyword in order to improve search engine ranking. Are there any rules or tips to doing this? For instance, can i repeat blocks of text (like for instance a blurb about my company) on each page after the keyword text? And if i have 10 similar keywords, can i use the same block of text but interchange the keywords (fyi- it would be written in full, grammatically correct sentence that are relevant to the keyword). What other rules should i be aware of to maximize ranking? I know about cross linking and title tags etc. Just want to focus this answer on keyword descriptive pages if you can.. thanks in advance for your help.
You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo.
Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, “Who’s my end user – is he on dialup or DSL?” And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them.
A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.
Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material.
Placement of Metatags:
A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the “Title” metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The “Title” should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the “Title” is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name.
The second metatag is the “Description” which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one’s goods and services.
And the very last category – “Keywords” are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as “spamdexed entries” which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. “Spamdexing” when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory.
Here’s an example of a very highly-placed website on Yahoo.com: Begin with the search query “pizza downtown los angeles.” It will bring up some 1.4 million+ websites as results. Check out where “Pizza Next Door” is ranked. It’s in the Top Five! Again, Pizza Next Door’s high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Yahoo’s publication guidelines.
Good luck!
With the recent changes to the Google Ad Words keyword tool, what is the best method to use the tool to find the proper keywords that will provide quality website traffic?
What you want to do is first sign into Google Keyword Tool type in a phrase you want to find keywords for like “free website traffic” for example. Go to where it says Advanced Options and select all countries and all languages. In the spot where it says Filter Keywords select global monthly searches, then hit search.
Once you find a keyword you like open up google and type in that keyword, then use quotation marks “keyword” for example. This will give you the actual number of sites that use that exact keyword or phrase. If the number is low enough then use that keyword.
Another thing to check is the number of sites on the far right where the paid listings are, fewer listings will indicate lower competition for that keyword meaning that it’ll be easier for you to rank higher for that keyword.
Try these. Should help.

Word works better with ” ” or { } etc…
After the Yahoo Answers interface changed, my saved search no longer filters out words in the exclude these words box. Is there some way of fixing this? I end up with many more pages of questions than I need or want.
Since the change, which was made at the request of many users, the results are shown in DATE order, not relevance. This brings up many NEW, but not really relevant, answers, since there are so many more of those. When you use ‘My Saved Search’ next to the Search button, be sure to select “Exact Phrase” when you do your search at the top. Narrow down further on the left, if you want. That might help and may make the ‘exclude’ option work better. Or not, sorry.
If that does NOT help, use google (ironic, but works best) which still posts by relevance. Restrict your search to Yahoo Answers site by adding THIS to the end of your search phrase:
site:answers.yahoo.com
