Case Study Update – My YouTube Video Finally Made Top 10

Remember the video case study 11 days ago?

Mark and I were trying to rank for the keyword phrase worlds best internet marketing tools through YouTube’s domain. Mark’s video got on the first page of Google, but my video was nowhere to be found

Well, today I looked at the search results page and this is what I found:

I finally made the front page after 11 days. Interestingly, Mark’s blog post and video are in the 1st and 3rd position.? SERPs (search engine result pages) domination!

This case study illustrates the power of YouTube to gain indirect rankings. I’m glad Google is ranking 2 videos in the top 10.? Even if you’re competing against another YouTube video, both videos can still rank.

If you want to leverage online video sites and get more traffic, here is the step by step process.

1. Research keywords in your niche and find a low-competition keyword with some search volume.
2. Produce a short video that ties in with the keyword. I use CamStudio and Windows Movie Maker.
3. Upload your video to YouTube. Make sure to put the keyword in the title, description, and tags.? And don’t forget to add a link back to your site.
4. Link to your video with the keyword as your anchor text.
