How to add closed captions to increase Youtube video views

The single greatest tip I could give anyone on how to improve their rank in Youtube Search is to add a close captions script to their videos. This is because Youtube Search cannot detect what is in your audio files anymore; they used to generate a "machine" script using voice recognition technology, but now Youtube uses this technology to match a pre-written script to timecodes in your video.

What this means is that if you write a text file with everything you say in your video, Youtube will be able to pull that data to generate a closed caption script for you. This is such an easy thing to do that there is no reason to not do it. And better yet every word and phrase in your script is going to be considered a keyword, helping your video gain more visibility in Youtube Search results.

How to choose the best tags for Youtube videos

In this video tutorial I show you an easy way to find the best tags to place in your videos. You can also use the Youtube Keyword Tool and the AdWords Keyword Tools but the information isn't always up to date. Using the suggest box you'll get the latest trending keywords for whatever topic you are titling your video, and be able to rank higher in the results.

Realize, however, that this isn't a secret tactic. Pretty much everyone does this already, so I wouldn't expect to get too much crazy traffic by doing this. However properly tagging your videos is a simple step that won't take too much of your time to complete, and will bring you at least a few hundred more views than you would get if you didn't tag your videos at all.
