how do you rank high in the search engine?

Right, you want to include it in sentences.

I would even go further. So, I would say something like:

"If you aren't familiar, Brawlhalla is a 2D platform fighting game -- it should be obvious very quickly that Brawlhalla gameplay is very similar to the Super Smash Bros series -- except it doesn't have Nintendo characters and is for PC (with a PS4 version coming soon.) Brawlhalla is free-to-play on Steam, blah blah blah"

^that way, you reinforce Brawlhalla, 2d platform fighting game, "Brawlhalla gameplay" (see how I snuck that in there in the comparison to Super Smash Bros", and so on.

That makes perfect sense, I appreciate the education lesson in descriptions mate ^.^ Hopefully this helped out the original poster as well!
 
yes it does and hopefully once iv made the video this afternoon and tried all these tips out i will post up my results and see if you can comment wether iv done it correct or not
 
ok i have tried to do everything i possibly could as i have actually made an effort in this video but still i look at the videos in the first page and 1 video has minimal tags and no description and 7 million views but is on front page, whereas my video is nowhere to be found :/ i seriously dont understand how youtube works, it does to prof the older channels rather than the newer ones :/
 
SEO boost for titles, tags, description and so forth primarily impact a video earlier on its life. YouTube fills things in and reweights as it gets actual watch time data, so this explains how ultimately, videos with high numbers of views but bad seo can still rank high.

I looked at your channels bean boozled description (I can't see tags from my phone) and it seemed to me that you have a very minimal description that doesn't reinforce your title (for example, you never say the exact phrase "bean boozled challenge" in the description, when we would expect that if this were a targeted keyword, you'd try to mention it several times in the description.

Also, it could be that this keyword is too competitive. If I search for your exact title, your video is on page one... But would anyone put "kid's surprise"? Maybe you want to target the keyword " bean boozled challenge for kids" with that phrase reinforced in title, tags, and description.

ok, il give a different title a go, and change the description abit, add more things, but ultimately i wont see any progress until i actually get views so youtube can get there data right?
 
Each time you make significant changes to title, tags, and description, that should notify YouTube to reevaluate without paying attention to views.

But it may be possible that the keywords you're trying to target are simply too competitive to outrank established videos in.
 
so actually doing a video like this is pretty much impossible for a new channel to be able to pull off...
iv changed everything according to your advice so fingers crossed it helps :) thank you[DOUBLEPOST=1454630742,1454630631][/DOUBLEPOST]im kind of hoping youtube helps me out abit with the location data that they use, 90% of these bean boozled videos are american so im hoping i can break through the uk youtube lol
 
It's definitely a challenge... It's really about figuring a longer tail keyword that still reflects how someone might actually search for something.

For example. For new LPers, it's usually very difficult to rank for popular games in general. So it's either try to get into a game before it's gotten super popular OR reach a particular niche for that game that is not as popular. So they may not rank for "game name" or "game name let's play", but they might rank for " game name (insert specific detail) tips and tricks "
