I Love YTtalk
Really good question; since I'm not able to get those auto-tags anymore. I've been thinking what is going on...
A friend who runs a similar channel with double subs doesn't put anything in the description and ranks millions plus views on vids almost every time, so what would that tell you.... WATCH TIME
I checked out FunToyzCollector once and noticed they would describe what the toys are named in different languages in the description. I've tried this in a few videos and have drawn a wider audience from countries like France, Brazil, etc.. asking me If I am from their country lol.
I experimented with foreign tags. For traffic sources/YouTube search, no foreign search terms are in the top 25.This is actually very interesting although if everyone was doing it, they'd be getting annoyed if they couldn't find videos in their own language as easily lol.
I wonder if some countries consume more English language media than others - like if Korea and Germany watch more than Japan or France. It's worth experimenting with....
Captioning is even more useful for me because when I'm trying to specifically tag/title/describe my video I'm trying to get very in my head about how *I* search for things, but when I'm talking freely (no script) in the video, often the terms I use *there* actually are things that other people are searching for that I didn't think of.
