How to Get a Lot of Tags on YouTube

You can use up to 120 characters when you tag your YouTube video.

After you shoot a video and upload it to YouTube, you give the video a title and tags, or keywords, to help people find your video when they search for a topic. If you aren't getting as many views as you'd like, you could add more tags to your video or your channel. For example, if you initially tagged your video about a cat that likes to hit the keys on a piano with just your cat's name "Princess," "plays" and "piano," you could later go back and add more evocative tags, such as "piano lesson," "feline," "piano playing kitty" and "meow Mozart."
