Title: Why Youtube SEO Title Keywords Matter (uBeam)
Post by: EEVblog on June 25, 2017, 12:02:04 am
Why did I re-upload my uBeam video?
As well as many viewers only likely to watch focused videos, the keywords matter for search engine optimisation.

Completely agree.  To other YT creators out there don't underestimate the power of pulling out the salient (or off-beat) point of a video and putting it into a separate shorter video.

Even if it seems trivial or silly.

An example is the below video of a radio contact with NZ. There's probably 50 or 100 similar videos on my channel. It got just over 1000 views which is normal.

The distinctive thing about the above is because signals were poor I resorted to shouting morse code into a microphone (as I had no key with me). 

Pulling that into a separate (shorter) video with a focused title got double the views, more comments, more likes and it being picked up by others on Twitter.

It sounded stupid but apparently people liked watching it ;)
