Is it possible to do SEO for a video on first page of Google?

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to do SEO for a video on first page of Google?
I usually hear about techniques to make a keyword on top 10 Google but not for a video, do you try for your video?

Depending on the keywords and what shows up on the first page of Google then absolutely!

If the front page is full of social network profiles then yes. If its full of websites ranking well, then no.

I think you optimize your video around a keyword that does not have the results of the video in Google. In this case, you do not get traffic from people searching on YouTube
But if you optimize for keywords video, you will also get targeted traffic to your video directly from the first page of Google.

Yes of course, just like pages, video use keywords therefore is possible to rank your videos. All you have to do is optimize your video with the right keywords and start driving traffic there, that way you get the site's traffic + yours. The more views the more relevant meaning easier to get ranked.

I don't think so, friend!

Here's a video for keyword "internet marketing forum" that I have uploaded since 3 weeks ago and now it's on top 9 Google.com


And here's keyword "best internet marketing forum", the video got top 3 google.com




I think we can use strength of Youtube to rank for our videos, not only website keywords.

What would Eric say?

pws = personalized web search ??

I heard that it did not work with Google instant search

You can try by going to Settings on Google and disabling your Google instant function... then search again... after that, add PWS=0 to the resulting search URL...
It can be a solution.

I use a browser only for search and no clicks and no login to my gmail account, that can help me find exact search results or keyword positions.

Yes! of course we can boost any video to the first page of Google by video marketing efforts, Do keyword research on what people are mostly looking for and create videos around those keywords and topics, will definitely rank your videos better in search engine ranking and you can get more business and customer from your video marketing efforts.

Absolutly possible...Just enter few search sentences in google you will almost always find yt video on top page or in some cases second page - that means video is fresh or not highly relevant. But with good seo and relevant content is almost easier to rank yt video than site/blog...

Definitely, Youtube is run by Google so make a video on youtube and you can. [Content Removed by Moderator] I'd recommend to anyone who owns a website is to make a video tutorial on youtube, it can be anything on how to navigate your site etc, and don't forget to put a link in the description.

Yes, it's definitely possible for a video on first page of Google, if you work with the right SEO strategy and you must optimize your website.

Ok, let me explain a little bit better what I meant.

Optimize your video with the right keyword:
If you want your video to rank for any keyword you will need to target it and to make sure your content is relevant. Here's how you optimize your video.

1. Use your targeted keyword in your title, description and tags. (I recommend targeting one keyword/video although you can target more than one)
2. Linking other videos to the one you want to rank will highlight it's importance + driving more traffic to it.
3. Views aren't as important as view time, so create eye-catching interactive videos and ask viewers to interact with it (comments and thumbs up).
4. Get some backlinks, more backlinks the better ranked the video gets.

When I said the more views makes it the more relevant I meant that if people are finding your video through your targeted keyword and people watch the whole thing, then it means that your video is relevant to their search which makes it great in YouTube's eyes and rank it better (remember view time is very important).

Hope this helps you understand better video marketing.
