Tags are keywords that briefly characterize 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 promoted video channels owe their popularity to the correct selection of key words.
Tags for YouTube: popular
The list of popular requests of Russian video hosting viewers (based on them, video bloggers prescribe tags) can be divided into three groups:
- The most popular - humor, practical jokes, funny stories, Ivangay. The keys here look like this: eeoneguy, Ivan Rudskoy, vlog, blog, comedy, humor, funny, funny, trolling, Ivangay, challenge, Ivangay and Maryana, Ivangay "rap", Ivangay and Maryana Ro, Ivangay songs, Ivangay new video, Ivangay kissing Maryana, etc.

As you can see, popular tags are not suitable for every video.
Tags for YouTube: list of questions
Tag questions are also very popular. We will divide them into several groups:
- The so-called strange questions. What position do you sleep in? What are your pros and cons? What did you do a year ago on this day? What historical era would you choose to live in? What 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 are very happy? What tricks can you do?
- Questions about yourself. The 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? What are the most important words for you? What did you eat today? Is it easy to deceive you? What were you afraid of as a child?
- "If I." If you were a product (animal, director, doctor, president, wizard, villain, millionaire) would you be (did, didn't)?
- About school. What is your nickname at school? Your favoritelesson? 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 subscribe to? How old is your channel? What is your first video? Which blogger would you not follow?
As a rule, questions are selected that everyone has something to answer, this explains their "virality".
The secret of popularity
Of course, you should not blindly rewrite all the popular tags for YouTube. A comma-separated list is a failing method. You just need to specify 10-15 keys that will accurately reflect the essence of what you are showing. Not only should they be generic, but they should definitely reflect each unique content.
Think about what query you would enter if you wanted to find what you filmed in your creation. Combine tags: "books" and "interesting" - into "interesting books". Develop the idea: "interesting books - 2017". Scroll through your mind and requests with popular typos: add "espresso" to an espresso, "blogger" to a blogger.
Watch how your popular competitors name their videos (the list of tags for "YouTube" is hidden - only the search engine "sees" it). Use a trick: while on a competitor's page, right-click "View page code", and in the window that opens, find tag. All! Your list of YouTube tags is ready!
Selectiontags
Many bloggers advise using Keyword Planner (Google AdWords) to select tags:
- In the line "Your product, service" write the topic of your video, preferably in one word.
- On the left side select "Show only closely related variants" - turn on "Only closely related variants".
- Click "Get" and use the first tags from the list for yourself - you can also "run" them through Keyword to find additional relevant keys.
Tags are an important tool in YouTube and beyond. These key words not only help the user find what he needs, but also help the blogger to bring his creation to the coveted top.
