When tagging your video, you want to reach the widest audience possible. Meaning that, you want to use the most popular words when tagging your videos. But how much is too much? Well, I learned the hard way...
I saw a few videos on YouTube while doing personal research on how to brand my channel or grow my channel. I found a few videos that spoke about tagging. I noticed in the description of a few videos that additional tags were used in the description box (since YT limits the number of tags in each video). Anyways, I took this approach and I went even deeper. I began to use tags that weren't even related to my video, in hopes to become more search engine optimized. I saw others do it on YT, so I thought why would my little channel matter...
I had a total of 32 videos taken down by YT, Rejected Content. Basically, I spammed my videos with too many tags that weren't related to my video. So please learn from my mistakes!
DO NOT SPAM TAG YOUR VIDEOS!
Here is an alternative that I have found...
I just Googled "Keyword Tool Youtube". Just type is that name of the game and the most popular words searches will pop up giving you the best tags to use! Here is the URL just in case...

I hope this helps some of you. Hopefully I can help you skip this mistake and save you some time!
