According to the YouTube Creator Academy, hashtags can improve your SEO. Hashtags can help you get more views in three ways. First, hashtags can lead people to your video from other videos that use the same hashtag. Finally, just like with normal YouTube tags, hashtags help YouTube better understand your video content.
But the one thing you can’t easily see are what tags other people are using on their high ranking YouTube videos. Tags will help viewers discover your video, and help surface it in search in YouTube. The descriptive tags are hidden from the viewers, but here’s how you can see what tags any YouTube video is using.
How do you track video views?
So, to start tracking your video views, you’ll need to set up a custom metric in your Analytics. To do that, go to the “Admin” tab in your Analytics and locate the “Property” options.

If your website loads page content dynamically and updates the document’s URL, you’ll usually want to send additional pageviews to measure these “virtual pageviews”.
How many tags can you put on a YouTube video?
Tags can be words or short phrases and they allow you to tell YouTube what your video is all about and help to categorize it. On a side note: The number of tags you can include per video is limited. You can use a maximum of 30 characters per tag and 500 characters in total including separators. This is why you want to choose your tags wisely!
What’s the best way to find good YouTube tags?
