6. Inbound Links
Inbound links (links from other websites to your
website or video) are important in traditional SEO.
They are also important in YouTube SEO,
considering that an embedded video (when a
YouTube video's code is added to a website,
displaying the video outside of YouTube) functions
like an inbound link.
Getting more websites to link to and embed your
video will help it rank better in search results.
7. Rating and comments
Higher ratings and more comments are also
indications of higher quality and more interesting
videos, so it's helpful to generate as many 'thumbs
up' ratings and comments as you can for SEO
purposes.
Encourage your fans to check out your video via your
blog and social media sites like Twitter, Facebook,
Google+, or LinkedIn.

11. Pre-Roll:
Pre-Roll video ads are non- skippable and pay per
click.
Publishers are only offering 15 or 20-second videos.
In addition, given the pay per click pricing, 15-second
videos are typically less expensive per click than
TrueView in-stream ads leading to more cost
effective campaigns.
12. Bumpers:
Bumpers are 6 seconds long. They are non- skippable
like Pre-Roll ads but are pay per view like TrueView
ads.
They are also cheaper per view than TrueView ads.
Like TrueView ads, Bumpers can include a click-
through option but are optimized and most effective
for views.
