Today another person asked me how to get YouTube video on Google Search, make optimization, and improve rankings. It actually suprised me because I had the same question in the past. YouTube is another website and Google treat YouTube like any other site. Some people are saying that Google prefers to rank YouTube better because YouTube is part of Google network… it is not true. In fact, Google does not give any preferences to it’s own sites, for example, search for a keyword ”translator” and you’ll see that Yahoo Text Translator appears higher than Google Translator. YouTube rank high on Google (and other search engines) becasuse it is the best video sharing network and one of the most popular site in the world with billions content pages.
Snippets to different 2 chicks 1 cup reactions in Google search results.
As you see, it is not only YouTube videos but also other networks as well.
Google treat YouTube videos the same way like any other popular video sharing sites (Veoh, MetaCafe, Revver etc). It creates snippet with video preview for popular videos or regular result preview for less popular videos. It is automatic process and if your video is popular enough it will appear in search results for related keywords. I would say even more, authors of popular and viral videos almost never use any search engine optimization to gain success.
Doing regular SEO and sharing video with others you can improve video ranking and search engine popsitions.
Here what can help:
- Provide related keywords and strong description submitting video.
- Link video from your own sites, embeding video is even better.
- Link your video from different social networks and profiles.
- Attract more viewers.
- Reply for people comments on YouTube.
- Stay active on YouTube network and find more friends.
- Regular search engine optimization techniques could be applied as well.
Activity on YouTube helps to attract more viewers and trigger YouTube algorithms to rank video higher, make it appear as related video more ofthen, and recommend video to more users. Hight YouTube presence and user activity makes video more visible to search engine algorithms and helps to rank better in Google, Yahoo, Bing organic results.

“Stay active on YouTube network and find more friends.” that is the key… if you make youtube YOUR social site of choice and try to make as many friends as you can, you will dominate!… just look at Fred

Yep, especially when you are trying to reach young adults and teenagers. But SEO is way to go if you are a business owner and you are trying to show mashinery you have in your assets.

I forgot to mention… don’t make it boring! all the SEO in the world won’t help if you make a video that shows no excitement about your product or services

Great ideas. Most people think that posting a video is enough. You have to really market it as you would anything else. After I posted a vid i searched for the exact title and still didn’t get the results I expected. Engage and promote! Good post!
