Comments affect search and recommendations

Not many people attach much importance to comments under videos, but comments help promote your videos because YouTube uses the comment form as a source of metadata (besides all the known tags, description and title). That is, the more relevant comments are, the more chances you have to get additional YouTube views.

That is why you should try to make content that makes people want to leave comments. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and ask for feedback on your video. After adding comments, the number of views can increase several times over.

Add keywords to titles

If you add keywords in several of your videos in the title, YouTube will offer to watch a video relevant to you. That way you get additional YouTube views of your other videos, and the viewer doesn’t go anywhere from your channel.

Add subtitles

Algorithms parse subtitles into words and use them as keywords. Even if your video is not translated into another language, it is enough to create a transcript and upload it to the subtitles to get additional traffic. Also, many people watch without sound and others have hearing problems.

Add cards and end screens to your video

Users will continue to watch the videos they’re offered more often , so don’t be afraid to add cards, end screens, and comments with links to your video.

It is easy to do in the settings in the “video manager”. Also, if you have another playlist or website, you can add a link to it.

Add links to your video on other social networks

If you add a link, for example, in your Facebook group or Instagram profile, then every user who goes to your YouTube page will help you get more real YouTube views and recommendations from your channel.

Leave comments

On YouTube, videos that users comment on are highly valued. Such videos move faster to the top of search results and rankings. Some bloggers leave comments under other people’s posts and ask them to comment back. It attracts attention and helps increase YouTube views.

Using special services for promotion

Among the paid methods of promotion, the most popular is the use of special services (SMM panels). Payment is usually made for each 1000 views. The customer chooses the necessary options and prices, and waits for the arrival of new views or subscribers to the channel. It is desirable to choose sites where you can buy YouTube views from real people, not bots.
