But embeds? How can that video get to #2 so quickly? Just by having a ton of sites embed the video?</p><p>Heh, you know, I just checked that #2 video has "embeds blocked". So that means that they don't want us to know where they are embedding their videos, which means they probably dumped the video across a bunch of domains/blogs to boost their ranking. Holy crap.</p>Jim KukralFri, 24 Aug 2007 16:21:26 -0000http://www.jimkukral.com/how-does-youtube-rank-videos-for-organic-search/#comment-4781037<p>Backlinks and imbeds.</p>Joel CheesmanFri, 24 Aug 2007 16:06:27 -0000http://www.jimkukral.com/how-does-youtube-rank-videos-for-organic-search/#comment-4781036<p>I can't imagine Google is rating them on production value. I'd think the number of views plays a large role, as well as the title, description, and tags, plus the account posting the video and their tenure on YouTube.</p><p>But that's all just a guess.</p>Shawn CollinsFri, 24 Aug 2007 15:48:41 -0000http://www.jimkukral.com/how-does-youtube-rank-videos-for-organic-search/#comment-4781035<p>Yep, definitely about a lot more than just that. What came to mind off the top of my head. What I've seen was very involved and my brain somewhat seized up. I'll see if I can find the links again.</p>KellieFri, 24 Aug 2007 15:40:19 -0000http://www.jimkukral.com/how-does-youtube-rank-videos-for-organic-search/#comment-4781034<p>Yeah, I'm interested, send them over!</p><p>But it's about more than titles and descriptions, believe me.</p>Jim KukralFri, 24 Aug 2007 15:00:35 -0000http://www.jimkukral.com/how-does-youtube-rank-videos-for-organic-search/#comment-4781033<p>I've seen some tutorials on it and know it gave me a headache just thinking about it. :) Has to do with tags, description, etc, etc. Lots of tricks just like in how you would code a web page. I'll see if I can find some of the links again for you if you're really interested.</p><p>I just remembering thinking...dang that looks like an awful lot of work for one video. :)I suppose once you are familiar with the layout/format/process it becomes fairly quick.</p>KellieFri, 24 Aug 2007 14:53:37 -0000
