Here’s how YOU can tell which videos of yours
are successful on YouTube and we’re not just talking about view counts!
(TubeBuddy tips & tricks)
Hello TubeBuddies! This is part two of our Legend Level click magnet tool series,
if you haven’t seen part one yet check out that card on screen now.
When it comes to YouTube a lot of the time people just focus on the views.
Heck even us at TubeBuddy do it with the phrase “Earn more views!” The reason why we do it
is because for us it helps us find more viewers and for us personally that’s a
successful video on our YouTube channel. However, there is a LOT that goes into a
successful YouTube video besides just views. With TubeBuddy’s Power Rankings we help you
see what else matters for a successful YouTube video! Now let’s head over to Power Rankings!
In Click Magnet select the blue get started button here.
Once it loads, You’ll see Power Rankings, and a description of what it does
in the first section here. If you want people to watch more of your videos,
create content they crave. Let’s click on power rankings.
Power rankings show you which videos are finding success in YouTube search,
YouTube suggested, and YouTube Browse. You can see all of those different options by clicking
the traffic source drop down on the left hand side. IF your goal is to grow your channel you
want to focus on making more videos similar to these top ranking videos. These top ranking videos
give you an idea of what viewers have enjoyed watching from you.
You can then see where WE rank your videos depending on what you selected for traffic source,
which video it is, and the video’s metrics which are explained here.
Notice that when we change the traffic source the video’s power rankings change too.
That’s because when TubeBuddy ranks your videos within Power Rankings
we look at the whole picture, and not just views. On YouTube there are many things that
determine a successful YouTube video. In fact, let me show you with Power Rankings.
We look at the topics shown by the video title and help you know if people want to watch that topic
with the rankings. You want thumbnails to drive the click, so we show you the video thumbnail,
and in metrics we show you the amount of clicks and the click through rate
DEPENDING on the traffic source. If we change the source from all to browse notice how the clicks,
and click through rate changes too. When a topic and a thumbnail drive clicks THAT leads to
watchtime and watch time shows that people are spending time watching your videos on YouTube!
That’s what YouTube wants from US as creators. To create content that keeps viewers watching
YouTube. At TubeBuddy WE make it easier for you to understand what viewers enjoy watching from you.
That’s why we give YOU these metrics and break them down over here. The colors are Green = Good,
Red = Needs improvement. Ideally you want your metrics to all be in the green.
Under that we break down what YouTube counts as a CLICK on your video which matters when
it comes to YouTube helping your content be found on Search, Browse, and Suggested.
Clicks are counted from:
Search Results YouTube Home Page
YouTube Feeds (which are things like subscription boxes, Trending, history, and watch later)
Things such as Up Next Suggestions And finally, Videos in Playlists
This image here shows you where clicks and
impressions are counted on YouTube and also where they’re not counted!
These metrics are important for determining a video's overall strength.
When we look at strength it IS important to note that Overall Strength is relative to
other videos in this list. However, for us at TubeBuddy since we primarily focus on search
I want to switch to search based results. The strength shows us what has WORKED for us in
YouTube search with the very strong rating, and what hasn’t worked for
us. So we focus more on creating strong content and less on the weaker content.
This doesn’t mean you can NEVER create the weaker type of content pieces again,
this just means you should consider changing up those underperforming pieces of content,
and keep focusing on what's working on your YouTube channel.
In part 3 of click magnet we’ll go over WHAT actually makes people click on
your videos and thumbnails and you can click on the click magnet playlist to see that!
