Video Optimization YouTube

    YouTube is now known as the biggest and most popular video sharing website on the planet. Since its inception in early 2005 by Jawed Karim, Steve Chen, and Chad Hurley, this San Bruno California-based site has a name that belongs in the top 10 most used search engine queries.

    YouTube has probably become a household name, storing more than 70 million videos as of the start of 2008. As a subsidiary of Google, YouTube was acquired in November 2006, and now the search engine crawls over YouTube video submissions and displays them among search engine results.

    The popularity of YouTube has risen from the fact that submission and viewing of online videos is free of charge. Almost anyone can place in video clips, as long as they abide by the standards of YouTube, that is, no offensive, pornographic, and defaming videos are to be included.

    Furthermore, if materials posted contain some scenes inappropriate for certain age groups, the user should tag the video with a restriction for below 18 viewers. YouTube also allows video watchers to rate videos and post comments. Statistics for the number of views per video are also included as a feature in YouTube.

    YouTube has its own search feature for viewers who are looking for video clips based on certain keywords. If you uploaded a video and you want to rank well in YouTube search queries or Google video searches, you can do so by naming you video appropriately. Try to include keywords as necessary, even in the short description you will include along with your video clip. If you made the video yourself, try to include a link to your website, so viewers can follow it if they are interested.

    Also, if you want viewers to leave good comments on your video clips, try to improve the quality of the video. This can be done through video compression, in which you alter the resolution of the video, using various software programs, so they come out with crystal clear quality, and even faster loading times.
