Hey Derral here. Now recently I’ve been asked
by a lot of my subscribers on how I properly tag my YouTube videos for my channel. Well,
I decided to make this video to give you all the in’s and out’s on tagging to help your
YouTube videos get noticed. Now in this video I’m going to show you four tags that I always
use in my videos plus at the end of the video I will explain when YouTube doesn’t really
care what tags you use to rank your videos in search. This is really interesting, guys.
Let’s take a look! Alright let’s go ahead and jump right in and
get to those tags, now there’s two ways to do this. The first way is to come up to this
arrow here, mouse down to video manager. Once we do this we can go ahead and edit an existing
video. All we’ve got to do is click edit. And it’s going to look exactly like the upload,
so for this example, since we always upload a video let’s go ahead and hit the upload
button. Now I have this little dummy video here, little example video. But let’s say
this video is about the Google Penguin 2.1 update, a lot of interest in that, especially
with those people that actually work in Internet Marketing or Online Marketing. Now the first
thing is we’d actually go an optimize the video and go through all that, but for this
video we’re just going to just focus in on the tags. Let me get rid of my default tags
here, ok. Now the first type of tag I always do is what I call the “specific tag”. Specific
tags are basically one word. Ok so for this example, since it’s about the Penguin update,
we’ll go ahead and type in “Google”. “Google” would be a specific keyword. Now notice they’re
helping me out, YouTube is helping me out saying “well do you mean Google the organization?”
Well yes I do, so I’m going to go ahead and click that because a lot of people put that
in, but let’s go ahead and put “Google” there as well. Ok, now the second type of tag I always do
is what they call “compound tags”. What a compound tag is is several words in a tag
so the first compound tag I always do would be the title. Ok, my title would be the “Google
Punguin 2.1 Update” we’ll just say that that’s that. All I would do is just copy the title
and put it in here. Ok that’s a compound tag, so it would have several words in there. Now
keep in mind if you are doing a compound tag that is in the title yeah go ahead and put
your conjunctions and prepositions that’s there. If you’re just doing compound tags
just in the tag section just leave them out. Ok the of’s if’s and in’s don’t even worry
about that, YouTube doesn’t even look at it. Let’s go ahead and go on to the third type
of tag “generic tags”. Ok, generic tag is like “how to” and that’s a generic tag. Also
“tutorial” would be a generic tag, “vlog” and if you notice down here YouTube is giving
us suggestions saying “hey, video blog” ok so let’s go ahead and click that. Oh, “marketing”
here are some generic tags that we’re able to do. It has nothing to do with “club penguin”
this is a search engine update so why don’t we put “search engine” in there so there’s
another tag that would be more generic, ok “search engine”, “search engine optimization”.
Ok so you have all these different things. Now the fourth type of tag I always do is
misspelling, ok. Make sure you misspell a few words, see what’s more frequently misspelled,
and you will notice that your video will show up because it’s in the tags. Now I want to
reiterate something. You need to remember that in this tag section right here you can
only do 500 characters. Now it sounds like a lot, but when you start doing some of those
compound tags it fills right up, so you want to be able to select the exact tags that you’re
looking for. Now I want to caution you not to mislead your
tags or titles in your YouTube videos becuase this really effects the performance of your
video ranking. Why? You might ask. Well, a user might stumble upon your video from a
mislead tag or title, and they won’t stay, they won’t engage on this video. And this
really accumulates a negative effect on your video and even your channel. Now what happens
is that YouTube uses the meta information on your video to do a quick assessment or
evaluation. Once it collects enough data of it’s own, ei watch time, and user engagement.
Then it disregards all the meta information and just uses the information that it’s collected.
Now think about that. You really want to be careful. Now I told my two youngest sons that
I was making this video on tags today so I think I need to keep up with my father’s promise.
Do the spaces really matter? I do Glassblowing videos and I normally just tag [Glass] & [Blowing]? Do I need to do [Glassblowing] and [Glass Blowing]? Also do the capital letters matter?
Thanks ??
Thanks
what is the meaning of tags on youtube
NO youtube cheats me out of tags, I can take a perfectly tagged video down with zero rankings put it back up, with the same tags and then get rankings with same video same tags everything!! I just put a video up on my other channel I started out ranking number two in one of my tags and now its not ranking at all in any of the tags?
Simple yet effective
just feel very pleasant watching your video
I've tag nd there is still no view on my video
So wat can I do to get view
I don't know how to tag , who will teach me please
I have an idea
We all do face same problem and it does address that we need strong favor and in order to do that we must subscribe each other channels and promote it everywhere.
This method is for all those you tubers who ain't able to earn that apex position
Thank you for the help!
This was such a great help to understand tagging more than I already did. Thank you for this video!

You are one of my favorites in the niche for helping Youtubers. A. You're easy to understand (sometimes, sometimes you speak Martian, but it's only because of our differences đ B. You are not a super model! C. You are still active and successful. D. Your helps are pertinent to the problems or questions. Love the game of "Tag" at the end with your beautiful sons. ? Btw I now have 7 subscribers!

It was useful.I used to upload videos by android and whenever I'm writing something for tag like the part like where you wrote google and came google map..google earth ..that part is not coming so if I write a word how can I confirm that it's working as tag or not?
Nice, This is a good information
Ure the man. U made my channel good. I used all ure tips. And it finally happened. I used a specific tags and etc. Thanks so much. I really appreciate to view my channel pleasr
New vlogger here. Informative..
Hey! Thanks for the tips! You get to the point and explain in detail and show us where to look almost like a step by step guidance–cheers! Can I ask a question please? âēī¸
Sounds like a daft question but can you go into a bit more detail about the ' misspelt ' tags? I did shuffle back a few times to watch again to see if I missed it but it doesn't elaborate further!
I'm new to all this so any advice about this but would be cool..thanks in advance…..Anji X ??

Question? can I use Google's + and Facebook or Tubebuddy for tags ?
Does it make a difference if you add the same tags to your channel as well as individual videos?
E.g. I can see that this current video has "YouTube" as a tag, but you also have "YouTube" in your Channel Tags.
However, "derraleves" is not in your channel tags, but it's in the video tags.
So, if your channel tags help all your videos rank, why use them twice?
I've been searching for an answer to this question to no avail. There doesn't even seem to be an answer in YouTube's Creator Academy.
(Sorry for the same comment on two videos. Just hoping to increase the chances of getting an answer.)
Thanks for the help. Seems impossible for new youtubers to get noticed. Youtube wants to promote the big players in the game instead of raising up the smaller people.
Good tips, thanks for posting.
2014? by the next day this is old stuff, because Youtube keeps changing and manipulating the stuff. I think they just want cat videos.
Next video please… stale stuff, this no longer is relevant. It does not work.
Thanks for Sharing .?
GREAT ADVISE!

WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING?! I ONLY HAVE THE VIEWS WHEN I VIEWED MY OWN VIDEO!!!!!
i am trying to put tags. but its not getting blue and showing on videos
I have a slot machine channel, so what you suggest to tag
Best ending right there.
But there are no tags for this video.
Who just left video to go fix their tags lol?
thanks
Very helpful!
titel bangla
Great videos Derral
My channel is over 6 weeks old and I have zero subscribers
Nice Information .. i am also working on Youtube , i have a Channel , hopefully it will help in many ways . Thanks for explaining Tags …..
The end with your kids is so cute! Great video, thanks for all the info. Will definitely be using these tips. ?
Thank you so much! I needed this because I have little clue on how to do this. Lol
Thank you so much! I just started my channel today and posted my first makeup video!
Last scenes???????
Does order really matter? Does google or yotube just grab the entire tag base from your added tags? I gotta get this cleared. Don't wanna go mass fixing the order on tags.
THAT IS A GREAT IDEAR
So, I'll subscribe all new starters here. I'm also new, started to make my videos Public from 8th of March (Two weeks ago).
I don't get suggestions for generic tags. I also need help to find out how to get default tags pop up on upload.
so… is it better to add words as tags or is it better to use sentences as tags ?
Thanks Derral. Every little bit helps.
1 sub to me with a blue bell = a free cookie for you
hi hippo !!!!!!!!!!
When doing tags on a phone upload is it word comma space word comma space or just word space word space?
you are slow but smart…torti
I'm going to try to ask a question here. Not that you will answer, you NEVER have. Why does YT tell me I am exceeding the character limit when I use mostly one word tags and nothing is even close to 500 characters?
Specific tags?
Also is it a good idea to tag multiple combinations that are very similar, except for a few words? Example: Jurassic Park movie reactions, Jurassic Park Trailer reactions… and so forth? the key is reactions we do reaction videos.
Thank you
Any other small YouTubers looking for subs??
Thanks
grazie
One of the issues I have right now is I use the longtail tags rich in keywords and I will rank high for them, but get low views and hardly come up in the suggested field. So… 2019. What's up with that Lol?
Great info is this still relevant today?
the ending was the best part
Thank. You! ?
Thank You So Much LIstening And Subscribing!!
Awesome dad thank my sweet. Don't run on the playground!
Huge help thank you!
Is it a good idea if you create a Youtube post to add another youtube channel as a tag that has 1M+ subscribers and or views for a similar video? Thanks
