How Many Tags Do You Add?

[SwaggerWolf]

I personally try to add as many tags to my videos as possible.

I usually add a lot. As many as I can. But, I have heard different opinions. Some suggest that you not use too many, because it won't make a difference. Others say, use as many as you can to ensure your video is found. I am not sure which is true. But any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When uploading your videos, how many Tags d you add to them? Do you add as many as it lets you? or not many?

I always try to use as many tags I can, but the tags are also related to the video ofcourse so sometimes I can't use a lot :/

I've moved your thread to the strategy / technique forum.

Use tags that are in your niche that are related to successful videos/channels now I don't mean put PewDiePie as one of your tags, I mean add the keywords they use to yours so your video shows up with theirs. TubeBuddy is excellent for this as it shows other videos tags.

I struggle with tags so badly. Maybe one day I'll get it right

I max my tags, but I'll check back on my video 2 weeks later and look at the tags that didn't rank, and I try to replace them with better tags

Very simple with Tube Buddy. Just click on the "Tags" tab on any video (Doesn't even have to be yours), and you can see how each one ranks. Now I think there's a little bias, if you're logged into your account, but it should give you a good idea. For example, it says I'm ranked 2 for "Compound Effect." but if I search on my phone, my video appears only 6th. You can also see the rankings in your "video editor" where you can change the tags. I haven't tested how many days exactly from when you upload your video when the ranks start showing up.

In my example, I didn't make the top 20 with my "Positive Brainwashing" Tag and "Compound Effect audiobook." So I'm gonna change them after this post
