Tags experiment

[TheSuperFunArt]

I have shared on twitter and Pinterest but I do not seem to get any views from none of them. I have been thinking about reddit but don´t think it´s something for a toy channel?

i would expect you getting views on reddit because they have a good toy community... alot of people intrested in toys.

- More tags means less weight on each tag

And more important repetition of words lets YouTube think these are less important and I see a lot of repetition in @ChristmasEveryDay's tags.

So my long term tags are not good at all? I'm really confused right now, everyone say different things.

I don't think so. Use at maximum 20 tags, about half of them long term but don't repeat single words (too often).

Oooh, I didn't know that. Where have you heard it? I would have thought that it's good to cover all sorts of search terms - as a (bad) example, "baking howto", "cake howto", "icing howto" - because that's what viewers might search for.

I just wonder if it's good to have like 1-6 tags max on tags or try to fill it it upwelling the way is better?

Nobody knows anything about this it seems. I've now heard every manner of advice imaginable XD.
Has google actually ever explained how the algorithms behind the tags work?

Oooh, I didn't know that. Where have you heard it?

Staff from the algorithm team told so in an unlisted hangout on air in the German #TrauDirWasZu community.

If it did matter using repetitive word it would only be for the initial ranking? You could then go in a week later and set them up for youtube search?

Could you link me to it? I couldn't even participate in these workshops because I don't have an active channel right now. I'm just trying to get all the information I can get in preparation for a channel restart.
