Step 3: Upload the Video through YouTube SEO technique

At the time of video uploading, you must remember one important thing- your video must be optimized according to search engine rules.
Oh!!!!!! Yes. Search Engine Optimization rules.
The rule is very simple or very complex. It depends on you, how you can implement these rules while uploading the video on YouTube channel.

The ideal web page title length is 50-60 characters.
The ideal title length of video should be at least 5-words long. You must put your keyword in this 5-words long title without keyword-stuffing.

So, In short for better understanding you should always use your main keyword in the video title without keyword stuffing.
Video Description: – Description is very important for web page optimization as well as video optimization.
The ideal web page description length is 150-160 character.
The ideal video description length is approximately 980 words or 4850 characters including spaces.
