Keyword Optimisation? Any Advice?

:O No way! I've been doing the description tags because I noticed others doing that! Thank you so much CrownAcademyEnglish! That surely saved me!
Could you please be more... Extensive? With niche terms? I'm not exactly sure on this :S

Well only you can know your keywords for your subject. I'm not a gamer. But I can give you an example - Let's say you were a channel doing photoshop tutorials.

I'm guessing the search term that most people would search for would be "photoshop tutorials" So you would think you should target that because google keyword tool tells you 100,000 people search that per month. Well the problem is that there are are 2.6 miliion results so a new channel would have very little chance of getting to the first page.

So you should target a search term with less results. example "photoshop tutorials text effects" has 440,000 results and even better, "photoshop tutorials glowing text effects" has 100,000 results. If you target that in your title and description, you'd have a fighting chance of getting to page 1. Sure that term won't pull in 100,000 searches per month like "Photoshop tutorials", but like I said, you are trying to get a 90% chance of getting a handful of clicks rather than 0% chance of getting thousands.

I like to call this strategy "go after the low hanging fruit"

I guess that'd make sense lol, So go for search terms with lower click through ratings, and lower posts so you have more chance of appearing and being targetted as the first?
I believe I understand what you're saying.... Thanks CrownAcademyEnglish!
 
There's already 3 great threads on this forum, about SEO for YouTube:

You can read my own thread on YouTube SEO to get you started, here:
/threads/seo-for-your-youtube-videos.44398/

You can read ConnorsCraft's guide to it here:
/threads/ultimate-guide-to-seo-appear-at-the-top-of-searches.80440/

Or you can step it up a notch, and get the Rankify YouTube course here:
/threads/rankify-youtube-get-more-views-its-my-birthday-50-off-all-courses.81180/

Before jumping on the wagon on any of them, I suggest that you read through the replies in those threads too, to decide. That goes for everything here, really. A lot of forum members have a habit of dishing out SEO advice, without really knowing what they're talking about. I won't name names, but there's quite a few here that outright tell people to do wrong stuff - not up for debate, just factually wrong, so keep that in mind.

You have encountered this yourself: you put your tags in your description (don't), because you saw other people doing it, and thought that was solid SEO advice. It is not. Stuff like that is sadly very prevalent.
