Tags are key words that briefly describe the essence of what is shown in a particular video. At the same time, they play the role of a powerful means of promoting the video - most of the untwisted video channels owe their popularity to the correct selection of key words.

As you can see, popular tags are not suitable for any video.
Tags for YouTube: list of questions
Questions for tags are also very popular. We will divide them into several groups:
- The so-called strange questions. In what position are you falling asleep? What are your pros and cons? What did you do a year ago on this day? What historical era would you choose for life? Which word is hard for you to pronounce? What are you called at home? Your strange phobia? What always annoys you? What do you do when you’re very happy? What tricks do you know how to do?
- Questions about yourself. Purpose of your life? What are the most striking features of your character? The most memorable moment of your life? What do you want to fix in the past? What can inspire you? The most important words for you? What did you eat today? Is it easy to fool you? What were you afraid of as a child?
- "If I". If you were a product (animal, director, doctor, president, wizard, villain, millionaire), then you would (did, did not)?
- About school. What is your nickname at school? What is your favorite lesson? Do you like going to school? Are you late for school? What do you do when you're bored in class?
- Bloggers and followers. What is your favorite blogger? How many channels do you have in subscriptions? How old is your channel? What is your first video? Which blogger are you not subscribing to?
As a rule, questions are selected that everyone has something to answer, which explains their “virality”.
The secret of popularity
Of course, do not blindly rewrite all the popular tags for "YouTube". A comma separated list is a disastrous way. You just need to specify 10-15 keys that will accurately reflect the essence of what you show. They should not only be general, but must necessarily reflect each unique content.
Think about what query you would enter if you would like to find what you removed in your creation. Combine the tags: “books” and “interesting” - into “interesting books”. Develop the thought: "interesting books - 2017." Scroll through your head and queries with popular typos: add “expresso” to espresso, and “blogger” to a blogger.
Watch how your popular competitors name their videos (the list of tags for “YouTube” is hidden - only a search engine “sees” it). Use the trick: being on the competitor’s page, right-click on “View Page Code”, and in the window that opens, find the tag. All! Your tag list for YouTube is ready!
Tag Matching
Many bloggers recommend using Keyword Planner (Google AdWords) for tagging:
- In the line "Your product, service" write down the topic of your video, preferably in one word.
- On the left side, select "Show only close options" - turn on "Only options closely related to keys."
- Click "Get" and use the first tags from the list for yourself - you can also "run" them through Keyword to search for additional relevant keys.
Tags are an important tool on YouTube and beyond. These key words not only help the user find what he needs, but also allow the blogger to bring his creation to the coveted top.
