Video SEO - Youtube Marketing

If you just found out that video marketing converts 8% more than regular text, article, or blog marketing, then you are probably going crazy, just like I was, wondering how to get your videos to show:

1) Within the first results in Youtube.com and

2) Within the precious first results in Google

A month ago I attended this webinar about Video SEO where the presenter showed exactly what he has been doing to rank his videos within the first results in Youtube and how it has allowed him to grow his business exponentially. So without more preambles, this is what I learned:

1. Just like with regular SEO, make sure that you have a keyword that you want to target.
2. Add that keyword to the Title and Description.
3. Add the main keyword plus other 6 to 10 related keyword to the tags.
4. Now this is not necessarily for SEO, but it's highly important: Add a link to your landing page in the description. Don't forget that the whole purpose of publishing a video is to either get leads, sales, and/or traffic, which without a link it's impossible to accomplish.
5. Once your video has been published make sure to social bookmark it and/or syndicate it through Onlywire, Ping.fm, TribePro, etc.
6. Build back-links to your video.

If you really think about it, it only makes sense that YouTube determines importance based on Google SEO, after all Youtube was bought out by Google.
