Sort Your Search Results / YouTube Traffic

To get similar results, you simply need to pick the best keyword tags for your videos (and it

may be prudent to also include your 1 or 2 most important keywords in the title of the video)

Online research tools may be useful to find great keywords such as WordTracker

(

http://www.wordtracker.com

) and it would be a great investment your time to get all of the

very best keywords and put them in the tags list for each of your videos. If you start with a

keyword list from WordTracker (or another comparable keyword tool) and then check your

best keywords one by one using YouTube’s search feature, you will get a pretty good idea of

how competitive your niche is.

Sort Your Search Results:

Search results can be sorted by date added, view count, rating, or relevance to keyword. As

you are researching your keywords, it is important that you sort search engine results to get

the best possible view of what keywords and what type of video will work best. The main sort

feature you will want to use is view count because this will show you which videos are getting

tons of eyeballs. It is easy to overlook these important search tools, and as of writing this, there

is no way to set your own personal search settings. The chart below explains the various

sorting tools available to you.

Search Tools:

Channels: Basically, channels allow you to search for videos

uploaded by a specific user. You can create your own channel

Groups: This feature allows you to search by groups using a

keyword. This is important for advanced search because groups

attract passionate people.

Playlists: This feature allows you to find playlists or groups of

videos organized by a common theme.

Relevance: This is the default setting and means relevance to your

search keyword(s)

View Count: Allows you to sort videos by which have been

viewed the most.

Rating: Sort by how many stars rating.

Refine by Category: This is pretty self explanatory, you can search

by what topic of video you are looking for.
