Titles in videos

I Love YTtalk
Does it make a difference if certain words in the title are first or last?

Like would I get more clicks if the word "parody" was first rather than last?
 
Not that im a expert, but the way I see this is that, if you put Parody last it will get more clicks because it will be more correct for search results.
It would give more sense for people to search "BlaBalBla Parody" than "Parody BlaBlaBla" or "Parody of BlaBlaBla"
But again don't take my word for it it just makes the most of sense for me :P
 
I usually concentrate on making the first part of the titles catchy for people but I include a more explanatory that contains my keywords. So for keywords fish, pike, toilet, plumber I would have something like:

Crazy Fish Repairs Toilet - Pike Works As Plumber
 
Parody is best if its last. Cause people look something up and they dont read the whole title they read "Drake ft Chris brown- Run" and they click on it.

Someone else told me that the reason why my audience retention is poor is because people didn't realize it was parody and exited out of the video. Do you think that's true?
 
If titles are long, the right side sometimes gets cut off with a "..." depending on where the video is showing up (I think..?? i just checked and it doesn't really do that anymore..so maybe things have changed). If the title can be short and still have the word "Parody" in it, then I'd put "Parody" at the end. If it's a long title, I'd put it at the beginning Like "PARODY: Lady Gaga's Bad Romance" or something like that. if it was titled "Lady Gaga's Bad Romance Parody," people might not see the word parody and be sad that it's not Lady Gaga's song and thus click away. It would have to be a really really really catchy parody to keep them watching since they were looking for the original song to begin with... However, I think "Lady Gaga Parody" could also work since it's short.

the video is me in a music video spoofing the video. Could I just add in the title (Featuring Offbeat Bryce) and take out the word parody?
