Seeing Others' Tags

I Love YTtalk
Ok doke, I was just wondering if there's a way to have a look at how other people (i.e. the bigger YouTubers) have tagged their videos? I think my tags are probably a big weakness of my channel, because my content never seems to get discovered/ watched through anything other than subscriber's feeds and Facebook.

Just as an experiment, I went onto YT from a different computer and typed in "monsters university film review" to see how long it would take to come across my most viewed video. Obviously I was instantly hit with the big reviewers, the popular channels, and the official trailers and stuff, but after 9 pages, I still hadn't came across mine at all. So I tried other tags which I knew I had included in my video, and still couldn't find it... at all. And I was able to find videos that literally had less than 10 views.

I know the YT search engine is a complicated beast and there's all sorts of factors that affect your listing, but a video that has hundreds of views should definitely be appearing before a video that has 3... right?
 
In your browser you can view the page source which reveals the tags used, in Firefox right click the page with the video on (the watch page) and click View Page Source, search for meta name="keywords" and you will see them beside it :)
 
Woah that's awesome thanks very much!! Although it is incredibly depressing to see that the video I was interested in has more than 300,000 hits... with about 7 keywords :(

It isnt about quantity, make sure youre using the same keywords in your video title and description and make it read naturally and write for a person reading it and not just the robots :) You could try the keyword planner which has recently replaced Googles keyword tool too:

if you press the Ctrl and u buttons at the same time you should get the video source to show up and the keywords should be there :) It doesn't work for me all the time but it's good enough
 
Also, get some people engaging in your video. The more comments (from you and others), likes and dislikes, etc.
will kick your video up higher in the search results :)
I noticed that quite a bit of my videos are around 2 or 3 in page 1, or page 2 middle-ish.
User engagement really works :)
