http://www.21QuestionsAboutYouTube.comWhat are the best SEO methods for a YouTube video? The facts are, we know that YouTube looks for the topic of your video to be in each of the following aspects of your video: the title (if someone is looking for content about a topic, that topic better be in the title), the description, the keywords, and the transcripts. If at all possible, it would be of extra value to you to include the topic inside of the channel name too.

Let me give you an example. If you have a channel called "Colligan" that features yoga videos, there is no real connection between Colligan and yoga videos. (Especially, if you know me in any way shape or form.) But a yoga video and a channel called "Free Yoga Videos" makes a lot of sense. And, getting multiple channels that match up with your content might be something that is worth considering.

So, to recap, include the topic in the title, the description, the keywords, the transcripts, and the channel name if at all possible.
