How to Rank High without using Google? Youtube SEO
SEO is one of the foremost, in demand services in our world today. That being a fact, there is now cut-throat competition in all of the search engines (especially the big three). How do you rank high without having to compete in Google, Bing and/or Yahoo? Answer: Youtube SEO.
A Neglected Factor
When you list down the most visited websites in our world today, you will find out that Google is still on the top spot – followed by Facebook and then Youtube. What does that tell you?
It tells you that Google is still the foremost search engine in the entire world. It also tells you that the internet is shifting from search to social – since the internet is a place for people and social interaction too (and yes, we are social creatures).
But what I want you to pay close attention to is site number 3 – Youtube. Always remember that Youtube is a Google-owned website.
Prioritizing Videos?
Notice how Youtube videos tend to always rank somewhere on top of your search results? Yep, they can beat down all the other ranks and get the best positions for a click-through in the search results. Youtube videos provide a different approach to information and so it cannot be compared to all the other web results – since most of those are text-based HTML pages.
So whenever there is cut-throat competition on a search term that you want to penetrate, always remember that video marketing in Youtube can just as well be the key to get your content up there. In fact there might be a better chance of getting your video in the first page of the search results than putting a webpage up there.

Other facts that are found out about Youtube is that:
