For those of you who are trying to understand where to find comment section of file property, it can found when you right click on your mp4 file saved on your desktop or mobile then go to details, there you will see tags and comment section which will be blank. You can fill the details there and click OK. This has to be done before uploading your video on KZbin. Hope that helps

Now here's where it's tough. We've had videos with 10% AVD + 20% CTR perform well, and videos with 3% CTR + 30% AVD perform well. We've also had videos with 50% AVD underperform too (the topic wasn't very popular on YT). I don't think it's an "either, or" situation, but as long as your video has 1 metric performing well combined with being in a niche that has good search volume I would expect the video to outperform. I bet if you asked 100 KZbinrs there would be a pretty even mix of answers!

This sounds like a lot of good advice. If someone didn't know these things, do you advise going back and implementing them? For example, if someone is just starting a channel and has only gotten a few views, should they go back and add comments and tags to their mp4 files, rename them to match the meta titles, and re-upload them? Or it better to just leave any uploaded videos alone and follow your recommendations with all new videos?

But it seems strange that she's suggesting some things that everyone else seems to say the exact opposite about.

It's difficult to verify all of this with 100% certainty - even if someone were working for Google. There are a ton of lines of software code, probably written by many different people. Oversight, unintended software behaviors, and bugs - are also common occurrences in writing software. And companies don't always provide true and accurate information as to how their company/software/etc, functions. This includes both within the internal scope of the company, and beyond. Some of this is done intentionally, some unintentionally, and some - a mixture of the two. Either way, just even the practice of changing a filename to the title of the video, can generally be done super quickly. As in, for many with some pretty basic computer proficiency, the process can generally take approximately 1-2 seconds (or less).

I found it interesting that you should make your video private and schedule it if you’re not ready for it to be public. Other channels tell you to make it unlisted and schedule. Great tips! You give a lot of information that many other channels don’t tell you. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you!

Thank you!! We learned this the hard way - after unlisted videos! and you can also see this in analytics too. That's why there's a difference between "since published" and "lifetime" stats

I’m gonna post this from Nick Nimmin, a channel that has almost *1 MIL subscribers.* He says the file name doesn’t make ANY difference-“If you look in the code of ANY YT page/video, you’ll see the file names are converted to strings of letters and numbers for their system to organize. It has ZERO impact on search performance or video performance in general.” I don’t know about y’all, but I’m gonna listen to a guy who has far more subs and views when it comes to this topic!!

All KZbin and Google SEO advice and strategy is based on experience because Google is not in the business of telling people EXACTLY how to game their algorithm. In fact, Google is known to mislead people to keep it a mystery and that’s why experience matters so much. I've been in marketing for over 10 years (not just KZbin) and I know this to be true. Ask any experienced marketer, Google misleads to keep the algo a mystery. Perhaps from one person’s experience file name does not matter for KZbin but based on all of my experience exclusively working with businesses who want to show up on Google, file name DOES matter for Google. Just like how meta data DOES matter for blogs and website. Please see Ahrefs’ video where they go on record to say how file name impacted their rankings for KZbin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmTnneYm6qXjKM Just because Google turns the info into code, does not mean it does not matter. I didn’t make this video to give people BS advice. I’m sharing what we’ve learned over 5 years growing channels in all different industries. If you see the pinned comment on this video, you’ll see this immediately helped someone out there. I’ve also received dozens of emails with people trying out these strategies and it helping smaller channels. Sure, don’t use these tips if you don’t want to. But you’re probably doing yourself a disservice by not doing everything possible to grow your channel. I worked with a lot of smaller channels for brands that have very specific audiences and we’ve consistently grown their Google and KZbin search views even as new channels from what we do. We were courageous enough to come onto the internet and without gatekeeping, share what has worked for us. (all from our own experience) I don’t claim to be the KZbin guru, I’m only sharing my experience and I believe Nick is sharing from his own experience as well. No one should blindly listen to anyone on the internet -- I always tell my client and team that Marketing and Content are interactive arts -- it’s all about consistency and testing.

You bring up a great point! BUT... I think what she is saying is from a MACRO level: basically, it's bigger than KZbin. If you want your video found on Google search results, then do what she's saying... Nick Nimmin has [almost] 1M subs likely from KZbin search results and the KZbin algorithm, alone... plus his 1st published video was 9 years ago. She's recommending a step beyond KZbin; she's suggesting getting found in Google. When I look up one of Nick's videos on Google [just now], 9 other videos come up before his: the top 7 videos have some of her suggestions in their videos. The file name + other things makes a difference OUTSIDE of KZbin, like in other search engines. Nick is right, as it relates to KZbin [only]. She is right, as it relates to Google and other search engines.

@growwithgrouphugs3 ай бұрын
Not sure we understand the question! We show in the video where the category is chosen, we even show the drop down list and options of video category available. For whatever reason, “how to” is “how to/style” - fashion gets clumped in there.
