Social Media is very important for you , as a SEO.Using Social Media you can get a big number of backlinks by posting an interesting video that will be watched by thousands. If they like your video , they will also spread it to the world throught social media networks but if you want to get backlinks from social media you need to know how to optimize your social media profiles.Today I will talk about how to optimize your youtube channel for getting backlinks or as many veiws as possible :

1. Try to find descriptive title tags for your videos -On Youtube’s search it’s almost like in Google’s search , you must optimize your videos for Youtube’s Search Results. It’s generally accepted amongst SEO’s that title tag keyword relevancy and positioning is one of the biggest on site search ranking factors that we can influence.So , on your title tags you must include the most relevant keywords that describe your video,so your video will be watched by people that are really interested in your niche.
2. Internal Link Building between your videos using “Video Responses” – Youtube is similar to any other web pages ,a big advantage is that you’re able to easily add links from these popular pages using video responses.Obviously these need to be from relevant pages but they will not only build internal links to your videos, they’re also likely to send traffic from people browsing for related videos.
3. Encourage Ratings
4. Build External -As i’ve already told to you, Youtube is similar to any other web pages, so you can make your youtube chanell visible to a big variety of people just using some simple seo techniques.You can rank your youtube chanel like you are ranking your own blog or website , getting quality backlinks .
5. Send a link from your video description to your blog -Youtube shows 27 characters in the video description before it’s truncated with ‘…’.You can include a backlink to your blog before the description is truncated, so you can transform your visitors in relevat visitors for your blog.
6. Don’t limit yourself to Youtube – Youtube is the most dominant website in the video hosting website market.If you want to take a big number of views for your videos you must publish the to many other video hosting websites.You can use a time saving service like Tubemogul.com to distribute your video to multiple video hosts in one upload.
7. Add relevant tags to your videos – I’m unsure as to what extent tags will impact your rankings for the tagged terms on Youtube but I imagine they will have a positive impact providing that they’re relevant and not used in excess.For example , i’ve used “dofollow list” for my video published on youube , so my video appears in the 3-rd position when you are searching “dofollow list” on Youtube.
