The Death of YouTube Keyword Research in 2024

[@KevinKolbe]

MasterClass delivered! Dude, powerful info and reminders about the things too many just blow off. I can see how taking these easy, actionable steps and combining it with the new KZbin Studio "Inspiration" tab could really benefit any channel. Appreciate you!

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Why thank you, brother Kevin! Glad we share the space together and journey!

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

Brian, when I saw that title and thumbnail, I knew I was gonna click. I think some people think that just because they put keywords in their titles, that it's gonna help them get more views. They have to realize that you have to still have a great thumbnail and you still have to make great content. You have to rank in search to get seen. And it's even harder to do that the more broad your topic is.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Exactly my friend!

[@abcammym]

U can have a good thumbnail and do the best on research but if u not very popular it won't make much of a difference...let me know how u get on

[@ErelicGaming]

Love ya Brian! Have a wonderful day! Thank you for always looking out for us and inspiring us. 🤝

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

My pleasure!!

[@CarlosRosario]

This is DEFINITELY one of the MOST enlightening KZbin keyword research videos I've ever seen. Concise, easy to understand and just... thank you.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Wow, thank you!

[@Adventureswithbecky]

What so many don't understand is that many people use YT as a search engine using search which means keywords are vital. Using good keywords that actually directly link to the topic being uploaded is so important, along with putting in the effort to create a good title and thumbnail. All three work together to give a cliff note version of the video. So many forget that.

[@WalkthruSEO]

who the heck is saying keywords are no longer important? That doesn't even make sense. Keywords will be one of the last things to no longer be important for SEO. Great video btw Brian! I love the nerdy bits.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

agreed!

[@Dreymasmith]

The truth is always better than the rumour. Thanks again Brian for all the good info.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Always

[@ladyredcrafting]

Thank you! Love your content. I am working on a title for my next video, and this video is so helpful. Thanks❤

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bowstarchannel]

I like the way you are so clear in what you say and you keep it simple, easy to understand best wishes from the land of Ireland Bowstar

Thank you! 😃

[@guitar.forbeginners.withdave]

I love this. This year has been my best on YT so far (started in 2021) and it's because I think I've finally begun to understand keyword research and how it can help me get topics, title ideas and thumbnail ideas. Seeing your evidence of how it's still relevent is fantastic. Doing keyword research also makes me feel a little geeky cos I can get pretty deep sometimes and end up with 7 or 8 video ideas. Thanks Brian. This is top stuff as always.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Glad you found the video to be helpful, my friend. Congratulations on your success

[@guitar.forbeginners.withdave]

@@BriangjohnsonTv Thanks!

[@reefrookies]

This is exactly what Ive been looking for. Search is hard, this will help!

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Awesome, my friend. I hope this helps. And you’re right it’s all hard on KZbin these days. But it’s possible.

[@TWGGOLF]

I'm really trying to implement your strategy Brian. Thank for helping!

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Fantastic!

[@tube-master]

You are so right as allways Brian!🎉

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Glad you think so!

[@tube-master]

@@BriangjohnsonTv you are my guru

[@DomAZ]

Awesome and helpful.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Glad you think so!

[@RadioJonesy]

always get motivated after watching your videos cheers Brian

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@theanalyst9592]

I know this isn’t related but how many ads do you recommend putting on a video that’s about 20 minutes long?

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

for me, one.

[@CringePanda]

@@BriangjohnsonTv Mid-roll?

[@PamDuthie]

Thanks Brian, love these

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Pleasure my friend.

[@AnchorMoments]

Wow Brian! This video gave me actionable steps to do today! Thank you! Hey funny anecdote...every now and again, I'll share in a video how mounjaro spanked me when I ate something too rich, etc. Then later I will see in my analytics how many people found my video by keywords. I will see mounjaro is one of them I will also be surprised to see spank or spanking too! That always makes me laugh! I will have forgotten that I even said spanking! Ha! So the KZbin algorithm really does listen to every word we say and looks for keywords we don't even realize we are saying!😂😅😊

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Interesting!

[@Corbys_Creations]

This is awesome. Brian. Another great video. Thank you❤

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Corbys_Creations]

I really did. Are you going live today?

[@mimisart]

Awesome thumbnail 👍🏻💙. Great content too. When I have some time, I’d love to dive deeper into finding video topics through keywords. You coming to babysit my kiddos? Lol 😅😝

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Let me check my calendar on the whole babysitting thing…LOL

[@mimisart]

@@BriangjohnsonTv you might need to fly to Canada 🇨🇦 don’t worry, it’s warm here too 😁. All joking aside, I know it’s about a choice to what I use my time for and how I use that time. I see some research on the horizon…

[@SuzyTopAgent]

You Hit this out of the Ball Park Brian!! ⚾️ A Home Run!

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Thank you, my friend

[@RobsBushcraftandAdventures]

I have to say Brian that I found this video to be a lot better to watch than some others you have done in recent times. I'm not saying that your other vids were bad. They just weren't my thing. Everyone has different likes and dislikes and no one can please everyone, but for me the way you did this video was a lot better. 👍🏽

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Great! Glad you found it helpful!

[@How2Review]

Your comment doesn't make any sense 😅. My man gives his best every time.

[@RobsBushcraftandAdventures]

@@How2Review My comment makes perfect sense. Maybe you should read my comment again... A singer for example can give their best with every song they sing but that doesn't mean a person will like every song that they sing. I was just saying of the videos I have watched in recent times of Brians I like how this one was presented and delivered more than some others I have watched.

[@How2Review]

It comes off as a compliment and an insult at the same time. Just my opinion 😅.

[@PetAdorn229]

Isn't it true that keywords still play some role if the video is new. I thought algorithm (AI) treat each video individually?

[@mrhhh693]

I noticed that some KZbinrs use less searched keywords and short title and they got thousands of viewers. 😅 Honestly, I don't understand how KZbin Algorithm works in 2024!

[@SteveWB]

Sharing the gospel! Thanks Brother Brian!

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Very welcome

[@ThingsIBuy]

I could use one of them 2 million view videos right about now haha. So close to 1000, should be hit this week 😃

[@caperbelleaudios]

This is really helpful, thanks Brian 💘

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Glad it was helpful!

[@abcammym]

I have tried to many different types of thumbnail and research..but its still the same ..if u don't have a lot of subs ..it doesn't make much of a difference to me 😢

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

What do you think needs improvement in your videos and what are you able to make happen in that department?

[@StewTube]

Dude I totally agree lmao keywords and tags are just important as ever!

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Tags, not so much. Keywords, especially in the title can and do help.

[@StewTube]

@@BriangjohnsonTv are they not essentially the same thing though? Using search terms and keywords as tags? Lol.

[@AmazingYachtDestinations]

Thank you for bringing us the truth

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

pleasure

[@Shonmemes]

It's sad how these videos confuse the masses😢

[@GoADHDGo]

I thought that was Castle Grayskull.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

right! Heya Johnny!

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

​@@BriangjohnsonTvit kinda reminds of that too. 😂 I loved watching Masters of the Universe as a child.

[@bestyonko]

Not meaning to disrespect, but why are you not getting views if you're applying these methods you're mentioning?

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

No disrespect taken because I’m rebuilding my channel and not every single video is going to takeoff about 10% takeoff. That’s a good break 5% as average.

[@channel48]

Hee brother ❤

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Big up

[@AutobotSimmer]

Ah yes the key words and tags are dead argument. It's part of search which is part of the algorithm along with watch time etc. part of the challenging YT equation. The challenge of what the viewers want in your niche could mean not being you.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

thanks for sharing ..
