Video Tagging is extra important in video, because it’s part of the little searchable text content we get when we are video heavy.
So it’s a battle between content that users prefer (video) and content that search engines cna even “see”. So enter TAGS as one method of making videos indexable.
There are of course many much better ways of doing Video SEO, but tags should still be a part of anyVideo SEO approach. If nothign else, it suits the channel hopping mentality of end users using social networking, and it helps us to define our own topic “objective”.
OK so it’s a picture of a tan striped Bohemian cat with alien green eyes, but what is the cat saying? What is he a metaphot for? OK I’d better stop now before I get too artistic 
So tags…
The point with pigeon holing stuff with tags, is to use common tags that other people use and would expect to find your content under. Nothing new there we would think. But is calling a shovel a spade, the best approach? Or is it really a “garden tool” or willit get more richer and focused traffic described as “landscape gardens”. A mix of tags could be good, but we only get so many before every one falls asleep or we get accused of tag stuffing.
Doing a keyword density on the transcribed video script is an interesting concept, but we tend to be much loser with our language, when we “chat”. It isn’t an ebook or a report. But you;d certainly hope the chapter headings in your video would be a very big clue. You do use chapter headings right? At least in your storyboard right? You have a storyboard right?
You made teh storyboard form the “breif” righ. You did get a brief right? And in teh brief hopefully tehy mnetioned hat the video was supposed to sell right? Yes I realis eyou wer eprobably te client and did you rown breief in your head an dteh storybaord was a day dream you had last week that you never worte down, but now we are getting some where. The video had an original purpose.
The video production was aimed at a target audience, who are in to doing something, to do something with you, with a call for action and an attention hook, that drew them in. Great.
Yeah so what are the tags again?
OK so in the next post, let’s just give you a software tool, with a “go” button.
No seriously. Lets…
