YouTube Tips Long Tail Keywords always Better??

[tingthing09]

Hello,

I've often heard it said to use a combination of short keywords and long-tail keywords. But looking at the keyword explorer, I can only seem to find a decent weighted score when I try long-tail keywords. That said, I worry that using all these poor-scoring short keywords will only fill up my character count.

What would be your recommendation?

Thanks!

well if you uses it for tags then it useless tags do nothing to help with the video! but if u uses for title and description short keyword work best! If I was making a video how to train a puppy to do tricks im not going to call my title PUPPY TRAINING! I'm going to call it HOW TO TRAIN YOUR PUPPY TO ROLL OVER I have three keyword in that title

Oh, so you're saying that the keyword explorer is made for finding a good title and stuff to put in the description? That makes sense. But if a keyword scores high and it's relevant to the video, wouldn't it also make sense to include that as a tag?

No and No because it scores high that doesn't mean that what viewer are searching for! Keyword explorer is only good for beginning who don't know what to do on YouTube.You have to make your titles and thumbnail as Great for viewer to click on!

I still don't understand. The Keyword explorer shows you an estimate of the search volume, its competition, and its optimization strength. How is that not useful for an experienced YouTuber? Wouldn't they prefer to test their theories of a good video title/thumbnail/description/tags against the actual score that TubeBuddy can generate for them?

Need Advice - I'm using recommended tags but I am still not ranking high in search.

Hi I'm a singer and I post covers on YouTube. I am using keywords and tags recommended by TubeBuddy but my videos are still not ranking in search. Is there any further steps I should be taking to ensure that my videos are coming up in search?

Well to be honest, I am a beginner and I don't know what I'm doing! Ha!

Thanks for the link and video recommendation. Looks like I was understanding this wrong.

Actually it can be useful good ranking tags ----> showing up in search results -----> good thumbnail = clicks/views.

The title and Thumbnail are the major keys now for YouTube creators
