YouTube tags...

Hi,

From my understanding, many people that occasionally upload videos to YT, are not aware of tags, or simply do not use them. This, in my opinion, is a good way of missing out on potential viewers, and isn't that why we post our videos in the first place? So we get as many views as possible? : )

That said. I would like to share my list of tags with you. If any of you guys would like to add to my "list", please feel free to do so! : ) This list is a working progress and I constantly come up with new tags to add. You probably think that many of my tags will not apply to some of your videos, and that might be true. However, keep in mind that someone that is looking for a FX Impact video, might not mind watching one that has no Impact in it. : ). It is all about attracting people, so adding tags that might not seem relevant to your video, is not going to hurt!

Thanks,

Kmd

The following instruction I copied from this site here, as they are better in wording it, than I ever will. 

"Tags are descriptive keywords you can add to your video to help people find your content. However, you can also add tags to change the appearance and format of your video on YouTube and on embedded players."



Examples of formatting tags: 
  • yt:quality=high: Defaults to a high quality stream (available based on the size of the viewer’s player and the size of the browser window)
  • yt:crop=16:9: Zooms in on the 16:9 area, removes windowboxing
  • yt:stretch=16:9: Fixes anamorphic content by scaling to 16:9
  • yt:stretch=4:3: Fixes 720x480 content that is the wrong aspect ratio by scaling to 4:3
  • yt:crop=off: Deactivates cropping effects on the video and reestablishes cropped areas

How to add tags:

While you’re uploading, you'll see a “Tags” section below the upload progress bar where you can add your tags.To add tags to an existing video, visit your Video Manager, then click the Edit button below the video for which you'd like to add formatting tags.
