Thank you very much. Another question if you dont mind is, When will this take full effect? like how will i know i can be on top searches? do i have to keep trying and experiment to get it right? Also did you grow a significant amount of views/subscribers with this?

You're welcome, I was asking if that was true though :P I'm assuming it's true, but I don't know for sure. You will have to experiment a lot to get it right, the higher you rank in searches and the better seo you have, the more subscribers and views you will get :)

For tags, the less the better right? So for a "Beatles Cover Song" video, the tags would be like this: Beatles Cover Song, Beatles Cover, Beatles, Cover Song, Cover, Song? And that's it, is that right?

Well it is debatable. First of all, I hope that there is never a video titled "Beatles Cover Song", because you would need to have the title of the song in there. The amount of tags you have should be dependent on the size of your title and the broadness of the searches you wish to rank for. For larger channels, you can rank for many different searches at one time and use lots of tags. For smaller channels however, you should focus primarily on one search and only the tags that would apply to it.

YouTube's search results update all the time. I find that after I make a change, then it takes 24-72 hours to take effect in searches. Sometimes it is more, but sometimes it is quicker. You will have to keep trying and experimenting, because there is no set formula to get it right. Also, your subscribers come when people enjoy your videos, but they cannot enjoy your videos if they cannot find them. The search engine is the primary way to find videos, so indirectly it should help you gain subscribers.

No problem, and I can guarantee you know one looked at your channel like, "wow he just changed the title of a video, so I should unsubscribe" :) ... most of the time unsubscribtions is due to closed accounts. Good luck :)

Thank you I will keep you updated on this. Your tips seem more like a theory so I'm going to test this for a month or whenever I see significant results and report back to you with either good or bad news.

Yeah it is debatable, some people say more tags are better, some say less tags are better. I kind of do a mixture of both, and I'm not sure which is better, it's really hard to tell. I can get a pretty good amount of views on my videos with some good tags, and then filling the rest of the tags in with horrible tags. I'm not sure if deleting the horrible tags would help me get even more views or not?

Never have extra tags just to have them. I would get rid of the "horrible" tags. :)
