Some keywords may yield lucrative results but you may just be wasting your time with others. Here\u2019s how you tap keywords the right way and ace your YouTube channel\u2019s SEO ranking:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Incorporate long-tail keywords<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find long-tail keywords that have 2-4 words strung together. These words show more niche results and target people who are specifically looking for those keywords. For example, \u201cblue skater skirts\u201d is more narrow and targeted than just \u201cskirts\u201d. Though long-tail keywords have fewer search results, they closely match what people are looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Choose Long Tail Keywords For Explosive Search Traffic\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a6sqyOh0Njc?start=240&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Find keywords with a moderate number of monthly searches (search volume)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the search number is too high, it can get hard to compete for visibility and your YouTube channel may drown under the competition. Find keywords with at least 100-200 monthly searches and stay away from keywords with more than 100,000 monthly searches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"100% Free Keyword Research! How To Research Keyword Search Volume &amp; Competition, Free.\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2zjrM_Y2r3g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Don\u2019t compete with major brands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Say if you\u2019re a YouTube channel about fashion and your top competitors are brands like H&amp;M or Forever 21, you\u2019re unlikely to rank for the keywords they\u2019re bidding against. However, if the top keywords aren\u2019t dominated by the top dogs, you have a great chance of ranking on page one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H5XqSFWqx9c<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Target keywords with high Cost Per Clicks (CPCs)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find keywords with a low search volume that have very high CPCs, pounce on them. These keywords will convert higher. However, it\u2019s hard to compete for keywords that have high CPCs. Once your channel gains better traction, you can vouch for these babies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A7N-RWXDaIc<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Prioritise keywords that already rank high on your YouTube channel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a Google Chrome extension tool like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/keywords-everywhere-keywo\/hbapdpeemoojbophdfndmlgdhppljgmp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keywords Everywhere<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to find out if your own keywords are generating the right traffic. If people are typing in your keywords and not clicking on your channel, you need to tweak your keyword or get rid of it altogether.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Find the Right Keywords to Rank #1 on Google | Powerful Keyword Research Tools for SEO (2018)\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FyO0oLxiNgQ?start=3&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Compare keywords with your competitors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head over to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEMrush<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordtool.io\/pro\">Keyword Tool Pro<\/a> and drop your rival YouTube channel\u2019s homepage URL into the keyword search box. Your competitor\u2019s most used keywords will pop up in the results. Utilize the top keywords from around 5-10 competitors and scatter them in your content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Keyword Tool Pro: Find Popular Keywords That Your Competitors Have No Idea About\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hAuRn5pjRF0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that\u2019s how you analyse the best keywords for your YouTube channel. It\u2019s important to keep an eye on how well the keywords perform on your channel and make alterations accordingly. Once you get the formula right, you\u2019ll have views pouring in like it\u2019s the monsoon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Interested in getting your YouTube channel seen by a huge audience?
