Have you ever reached the 500 Character limit with Tags?
Many (Including me) have never reached this limit of 500 characters, this could be because either us as YouTubers are too vague with our tagging, or our brains just go blank when we are typing. Thanks to developer Conor Reid, YouTubers do not need to worry as much when it comes to these devilish but important things we call Tags!
Why are they important anyway?
If you have ever heard of the phrase SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, you might understand why tags are important, but for you who don't, SEO is strategies, techniques or tactics used to increase the amount of visitors to a website, the main focus being your videos. The tags you input in the box when uploading heavily expand your chances of others finding your videos via YouTube's search engine. Each word or phrase that is added is another piece of criteria the system will use to separate each of the videos on the servers.
For example, If someone searched for "PS4 - Rocket League", every video that use these key words or phrases will be higher up the list than videos which do not have these.
Don't mislead viewers!
Before I mention what Conor Reid has made, you will need to understand the rules upon misleading tags.
Even though tags can be used to heavily increase your search chances, your tags must reflect directly to your video and must not include anything misleading.
How to use tags effectively!
Conor Reid has developed this wonderful online application that sorts your tags in a few seconds. Just go to Rapidtags.io, input your video title and your tags will be created.
If you encounter any issues or bugs with the application, feel free to privately message me, Crazylawrence, and I will forward these to Conor.
