How to use YouTube tags the right way?

18

When using tags in your YouTube videos, you should pay attention to a few key points. Here are the best practices for tags to follow:

  • Make your main keyword your first video tag: A study of 1.3 million YouTube videos found a link between rankings and keyword presence in video tags. While there is no proof, some believe YouTube pays the most attention to your first tag. So, to be on the safe side, it’s better to use your target or most important keyword as the first tag.
  • Use the right tags: Make sure the tags you use in your YouTube videos are relevant to the content in the video. You should add not only keywords specific to your topic, but also general keywords to increase your content’s reach.
  • Try to use shorter tags: 2 to 4 words is the ideal tag length you should aim for. However, not all tags need to fall within this range.
  • Don’t add too many tags: Adding too many tags to your videos can confuse YouTube’s algorithm in determining the exact subject of your video. Google makes it clear that if a video has over 60 tags, no tags will be read.
  • Track Your Competitors And Use Their Video Tags: If you’re creating a competitive video, read the tags present in videos you’ve already created and rank high in YouTube search results. You can get inspiration from these tags and use similar tags in your videos.
  • Make use of YouTube suggestions: Whenever you search for a keyword on YouTube, it suggests the most popular keywords or phrases related to the topic entered in the search bar. Use these suggestions as tags in your videos.
  • Never mislead people with tags: Using tags unrelated to your videos can be harmful to you and your channel. This can lead to the loss of subscribers. If YouTube’s algorithm detects that you are using misleading tags, it may stop recommending your videos to viewers or even block your channel.

Now that we know the benefits of using tags, let’s take a look at the most popular and useful YouTube tag generators available.
