Let’s get started immediately.

YouTube SEO – An introduction

When YouTube started, it was a groundbreaking idea which challenged the status quo of TV channels. It didn’t gain wide acceptance until several novice users discovered that the platform could help them share their videos and make it go viral without much hassles. Those were the good ‘ol YouTube days, and for the likes of Casey Neistat who reached tremendous success from sharing his first video about his funny experience with vehicles taking up the bicycle lane in New York.

This was in June, 2011, and from barely having subscribers, this regular guy grew his estimate net worth to upwards of $30 million and he remains one of the most known and famed YouTubers in the world.

Well, things have changed. Almost everyone reading this have the capability to be and to do more than Casey Neistat. However, reaching that level of success is no longer an easy ride as it was seven years ago.

What changed?

The algorithm employed to determine the rank of videos on YouTube has witnessed several changes over the years. It is not difficult to do what Neistat did.

YouTube stopped the promotion of videos from low performing YouTube channels. From the platform’s market share to the number of videographers and the enormous growth in the number of users, YouTube has become less concerned with advertising or the promotion of new content creators. Rather, the platform is more inclined towards safety and trust. This means YouTube will not promote any video that they are not assured of its successful channel has therefore made it an exclusive reserve for the big gamers.
