<p><a href="#"></a>Google has just updated their social network, <a href="../../blog/category/google">Google </a>+, and they have heavily integrated YouTube into plus.</p>
<p>They have added, what they like to call a slider, which is a small <a href="../../blog/category/youtube">YouTube</a> icon that sticks to the top right of the page, once you click on the icon it “slides” out and asks what you would like to play. You can type in a word and it will bring you up a playlist of relevant videos and you can listen or watch videos whilst networking on Google Plus.</p>
<p>One problem I would point out is that it pops out in another window and obviously if your using Google + then the YouTube window disappears behind the window. So you have to resize all of the windows and it just gets complicated and downright annoying.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>I think what Google have done isn’t necessarily a bad thing but there is no doubt that there is room for improvement.</p>

<p>There are many different theories about tags and whether or not they do actually make a difference in regards to optimization. This is because previously the tagging system was abused and <a href="../../blog/category/google">Google </a>has supposedly taken less notice of them. Either way the tagging of a video only takes seconds and not only does it potentially have search ranking value, but also user value.<br/>
All keywords that are relevant to your video should be in this section. There is a 500 character limit - it would be difficult to top that - however you still may need to prioritise your keywords just in case you do go over the limit. Also you should do your best to get in all variations of your keywords, so for example if one of your keywords was phone, then you should include: phones, mobile phones, cell phone and so on. The whole idea of adding tags is to increase your reach, so make sure you do so effectively.</p>
<p>There is a slight usability factor, however it is not greatly essential and doesn’t make the users’ experience a lot easier. If you click onto a tag which a video possesses, it will take you to a search listing for that term. The videos that show up for your chosen term do not necessarily have that tag, they just rank for it. So an effective way to use tags to help users is to include your business or user name and include and optimize your channel and all of your video with that name. This way all of your videos will show up in the same place.</p>

<h2><strong>Social Sites</strong></h2>
<p>Social Sites have become widely popular over the past decade gaining membership in the hundreds of millions. The two most common social sites are Facebook and Twitter but it is important to note that most people join several different social sites. When you are trying to gather the largest amount of contacts, it is vital that you stay active in all of the major social sites and not just Facebook and Twitter.</p>
<h2><strong>Other Important Social Sites</strong></h2>
<p>While Facebook and <a href="../../blog/category/twitter">Twitter </a>may have the largest following, there are many social sites that have large memberships that should not be forgotten. Here is a list of five social sites that you should consider becoming an active member of:</p>
<h3>YouTube</h3>
<p><a href="../../blog/category/youtube">YouTube </a>is a social site that is dedicated to showcasing videos of practically everything you can think of. With eighty-four million viewers every day, this is definitely not a site you want to miss. A video message can be spread very quickly throughout the world, letting your message be shared instantly.</p>
<h3>Linkedln</h3>
<p>Linkedln is a business-oriented social website that currently has over one hundred million members. This site allows business professionals to basically post their resume and credentials on their profile. This site can be used to help members gather contacts, potential clients or job offers. In the business world having a Linkedln profile has become a vital step.</p>
<h3>Myspace</h3>
<p>Myspace was one of the first social sites to hit the web. Although, overshadowed by the creation of Facebook, many people created their initial profile with Myspace. Most people claim to still keep their Myspace account active and login regularly. Myspace has revamped their website and are said to have over forty million new users each month.</p>
<h3>Groupon</h3>
<p>Groupon is a business-oriented website that works to give business a venue to display their products. They post deal-of-the-day offers allowing members to view their product and decide if they want to take the deal or not. Whether the deal is officially offered is dependent on how many people agree to take the offer. This is a great site for promoting a business and its products.</p>
<h3>Foursquare</h3>
<p>Although Foursquare currently only has eight million users compared to Facebook’s six hundred million users, the site is considered to be up and coming. They are a social media site that is geared toward mobile phone users. This site is believed by many to expand in the coming years as more people are using their smartphones for social networking.</p>
<h2><strong>Don’t Limit Yourself</strong></h2>
<p>The important thing to consider as you decide what social sites to join is how well you want to be connected. As with anything, people have their favorite social sites, the ones they turn to on a daily basis. For the greatest <a href="../../blog/category/social-media">social networking</a> abilities, you will not want to limit yourself to just <a href="../../blog/category/facebook">Facebook</a> and Twitter but you should join any social site that has millions of users every day. By joining multiple sites, you will be able to gather the maximum amount of contacts possible.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft" title="Youtube" src="../../images_blogs/threatlevel/2010/06/youtube.jpg" alt="Youtube" width="200"/>The description section of your video could be important for optimization of your <a href="../../blog/category/youtube">YouTube </a>channel but then it may have no effect dues to its similarities to the meta description in <a href="../../blog/category/google">Google</a> SERP’s, either way it is not only good to optimize this section anyway, but it needs to be written to a good enough standard because the description actually makes a difference to whether someone views your video or not so pay close attention.</p>
<p>When a user searches for a video, the description pops up right under the title to tell them, hopefully, exactly what the video is about. A good way to think about what to write is to consider this point: what is your video actually about? It is simply a description, but there are a few things you should be including in your description.</p>
<p>Firstly, you need to decide upon your keywords and try to include them into your description. Do not stuff your description with keywords - this can get your video banned as it is a black hat <a href="/">SEO </a>technique and is frowned upon by search engines. I recommend targeting around three of each keyword to be included, but this rule does not have to be stuck to religiously, it’s merely a guideline.</p>
<p>How you choose to format your description can be quite important. If it is a mess and difficult to read, it will naturally put your viewers off. Use your natural instincts on this one. Read your description as your audience, as they are the crowd you need to impress. Also, in the top line you should make a conscious effort to include your website and contact details. If you’re using YouTube as a way to build exposure and possible gain clients, then make contacting you as available as possible.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft" title="Youtube" src="../../images/youtube-logo(2)-916.jpg" alt="Youtube views " width="200"/>The reason we go to the effort of making a video and actually uploading it to <a href="../../blog/category/youtube">YouTube </a>is in the hope that we get it some views. Optimizing your video and channel will naturally give your video an advantage, but there are a few more things that can be done to increase the amount of views your video is receiving.</p>
<p>One way to increase your views is by joining related forums to the video you are creating. Try your best to become as active and helpful as possible, build an authority on there and when the time comes, mention your video appropriately. For example if you were making reviews of technology and new gadgets, and someone from your forum was asking about the iPad 2, briefly state your opinion and direct them to your video for more information. By doing this you’re likely receive a view from the person who is asking the question and potentially all other that are active in that thread. Plus, if people in that forum find your video interesting, then they may even share it with friends and others who would be interested in what you had to say.</p>
<p>This technique also works on YouTube itself. Look for similar videos to yours, using the iPad 2 example again, in this case it would be best to post your video as a video response to things like ‘adverts for the iPad 2’, ‘iPad 2 reviews’, ‘questions about the iPad 2’ and other similar topics. It must be said that you need to be careful when doing this as you don’t want to run the risk of looking spammy. I suggest saying “I love the iPad 2, take a look at my video review for my thoughts on it.” Then leave it at that. Utilizing the video response technique to its potential will give your video the biggest reach that YouTube can offer.</p>
<p>Facebook and <a href="../../blog/category/twitter">Twitter </a>are great ways to help get your video some more attention but again only if you’re using them correctly. If you are an active <a href="../../blog/category/social-media">social network </a>user, then this will greatly help you and your video as your reach will naturally increase with the amount of followers and friends that you have. It is important to keep your video on one network (I suggest YouTube as your main one), this way, all traffic that wants to view your video will be directed to one source as opposed to multiple sites. When posting your video on Twitter and <a href="../../blog/category/facebook">Facebook</a>, just include the URL to your video, and if you would like to include the video on your website, then add the embed code, this way all views are still directed to your YouTube channel and video.</p>

<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><iframe src="https://api.tweetmeme.com/button.js?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seopositiveltd.co.uk%2Fblog%2Fhow-to-create-the-perfect-youtube-video-title&style=normal&b=2" height="61" width="50" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p>A YouTube video title is quite important; it is the first thing a user sees when searching, it should describe the video, but not only that, it is safe to suggest that it has a role to play in YouTube’s algorithm, so if your YouTube video is to be successful, then you need to learn how to create the best YouTube video title.</p>
<p>You need to find your keywords for your video, as the importance of each keyword will change with the type of video and the topic, a tool that you can use to help you decide upon your keywords is <a href="https://ads.youtube.com/keyword_tool">https://ads.youtube.com/keyword_tool</a>.</p>
<p>You need to write a title that describes your video, includes some of your keywords but the most important thing is that it avoids looking spammy and is eye catching. For your reference I will give you an example, if your video was showing a viewer the right way to create a Facebook page. A perfect title would be “How to Create a Facebook Page”. You can see it is short and simple and also involves keywords that tend to be searched for quite often. “How To” has always been a hugely searched for term and there are not many other terms for Facebook Page, with a few variations but that is the standard term.</p>
<p>It has to be considered that <a href="../../blog/category/google">Google</a>, and YouTube do not pick up stop words. Stop words are small words like ‘to’, ‘from’, ‘where’, and ‘or’. Make a conscious effort to keep stop words to a minimum as they just waste space.</p>
<p>Another tip for your titles is to include your company name at the end of the title. This is not necessary for some business’ but if you are using YouTube and other forms of social media as a means of branding, then including your name is essential. By including your name in your title, not only are you telling your viewers that you are a specific company, but also when a user types in your company name into <a href="../../blog/category/youtube">YouTube</a>, then all of your videos will show up. This eliminates the worry of having to compete with other companies that have similar names to you.</p>

<p>Creating the perfect Youtube channel can be a difficult task, and one that may seem to be impossible to do, here are the steps to <a href="/">optimizing </a>and creating a good looking Youtube channel that fits all of your needs, and also your viewers’.</p>
<p>If you have not created a Youtube account, I strongly advise you to think carefully about your profile name, as you cannot change this after sign up. To those of you who already have an account you have to decide for yourself if re uploading all of your videos and starting from scratch is worth having a better name, or maybe you have chosen wisely and your name is as good as it can be for your business or just yourself as an individual.</p>
<p>The basic information is something that is commonly missed out, many reasons can explain as to why it is simply left, but the point of focus here is that it is important and it will help you. Fill out as many as the fields as you can, but make sure the information is relevant, so for some profiles, listing your favourite films may not be relevant at all. A very important field to fill out is the about me section, make sure you have your targeted keywords in this piece of text, although it needs to make sense and actually describe yourself or your company.</p>
<p>Adding a profile picture is essential, having a picture of yourself gives it a slight personal touch, but understandably, if your channel is for a company then all you can do is add your logo, but at least you are allowing your viewers to know a little more about you.</p>
<p>Don’t use the standard layout, add your own personal background image, if you can’t create your own image maybe tile your logo, if not, play around with the colours and settings and find a layout that best suits your channel.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>For each channel, there will be a slightly different approach, and it is up to you to decide how you create your Youtube channel, but now you know the key factors and what should not be left out.
