How to give tags on YouTube videos

Many times when we upload a video and if it doesn't get the views then we think that the problem is in content but that shouldn't be true always. tags on YouTube videos can be one of the problems of that video.
As mentioned in this article, tags is one of the feature that affects viewership of your video. In this article we will only focus on tags of YouTube video.

Tags of a video


Tags allows YouTube to know what is your content inside video and according to that YouTube ranks your video for particular search results. We will divide the topic into do's and don'ts.

Do's:
  • Each and every tag must be relevant to subject. One irrelevant tag can decrease the value of other relevant tag. For example, if you include tags 'dog' and 'smartphone' then both tags are related to 2 different topics or second tag is irrelevant to the title/description of video then it will decrease the present value of first tag and decrease the probability of higher search ranking.
  • Visit Google Keyword Planner and search for keywords related to your topic.
  • Use required keywords only.
  • Add same words but with different spellings.
  • Add short forms or abbreviation.
  • Find the tags of high views' videos by including extensions or using various websites
Don'ts:
  • Usage of same words multiple times in 2 tags.
  • Use of very high traffic keywords in Google Keyword Planner for tags because whatever you do, your video will not come even in the front page of search result as you are new YouTuber.
  • deletion the core keywords.
  • Long tags (only for new YouTubers)
Remember, all tags together must be able to create a story which can fully explain your video point to point.
