    There are a few things you should be aware of when you

    label your videos: "tags" are only the 3rd most important

    element in YouTube's search-results. Words in the titles

    are 1st, and words in the descriptions are 2nd.

    And way in front of those three different variables is your

    YouTube username. Thus, tags are actually in 4th place,

    and as such are the least important element in a search.

    (Whenever you do a search, how often do you get videos

    at the top of those results with no matching words in the

    username, video titles, or descriptions? Just about never.

    If you ever do get results like that with no matches at all,

    those are the times when 'tags' are relevant in a search.)

    Thus if you would like your videos to appear near the top

    of search results, the ideal would be to have people type

    in your username first followed by the title of one of your

    videos -- if not some of the most unique words. Example:

    GHOSTH4CK FATE

    If you don't want your username being part of the search

    (perhaps 'cause people don't know it) and you want your

    videos at the top of search results, then make your titles

    and descriptions as long as you can with as many 'buzz'

    words as you can. If for some reason you are somebody

    who's fascinated with tags, include them in to your titles.

    I copy and paste "MISUNDERSTOOD FATE" and it was the first thing to pop up.

    Usually videos are found on what it has for a tag, and when it was uploaded on YouTube.

    If I'm looking for a video from a certain user, I type in their user name. For instance, type "GHOSTH4CK" and your video should come up.

    If there are a lot of videos that pertain to the same tags as your video, you probably just can't find it, but it should show up if there are less than a page of the videos and you tagged it properly.
