Common myths about YouTube users’ behavior

In the 2016, Google published interesting overview with myths and its refutation, that can make clear your understanding of audience.

Myth 1. When people watch YouTube on their mobile devices, it’s during the day and “on the go”.

Most searched words on YouTube

Reality: The majority of watch time on YouTube is mobile, yet many marketers still believe mobile viewing translates to short, daytime, on-the-go sessions.

TOP YouTube searches

Reality: People get lost spending time on YouTube for a lot of reasons. Whether they want to learn, laugh, catch up on pop culture, jam out to their favorite music, or lean back for a show, people can find whatever they’re looking for on YouTube.

TOP content categories on YouTube

So, as you see, YouTube beats cabel networks. We guess the main reason is follow. With YouTube you can find demanded information more and easily, that with TV.

The evolution in content consumption: from TV to YouTube

  1. Why more? – Every inhabitant of the planet can create the qualitive and demanded content for YouTube. On the TV you have a very less number of channels.
  2. Why easily? – Machine algorithms are studing with every your new click and view. In some cases algorithms understand you better, than you youself.

There are a few hundreds of channels and billions of viewers on TV. And everyone from billions of viewers can create own channels on YouTube. What does that mean?

The main point that everyone is a competitor to everyone. And to get good results in views, sales and revenue from YouTube you should understand actual trends and use the comprehensive techonolgy of creating, optimizing content. If you have the business in exact niche you need only do correct keyword research. Lots of youtube users try to get catchy usernames using help from youtube name generator tools. But if you want to build a whole business on YouTube channel, you should monitor trending topics regularly. Unfortunately, Google Search Trends  show results by trending keywords for YouTube only by users’ queries. And YouTube Trends show you only videos those are popular on exact period. That’s why we can use only retrospective data to get some insights.

Which Tools You Can Use for YouTube Keyword Research?

YouTube is a video-based search engine which selects videos to show to certain audiences. It uses algorithms to show the right videos to the right audience. Keywords provide context and information about your video content to YouTube. Then, the algorithm considers and uses those keywords to deliver your content to the target audience.

The video-centric search engine prefers well-liked videos. The algorithm follows the audience focusing on what they watch/don’t watch, how much time people spend watching a video, what they like/dislike, and what they are not interested in.

YouTube keyword research is an SEO technique that helps to find the most related search terms and alternate phrases that people type to look for information. As you learn what your target audience searches for, you can add those keywords directly to your video names, descriptions, tags, and transcript.

YouTube keywords are crucial to getting your content in front of the target audience. Optimizing your videos for search works well in YouTube marketing and enhances your brand recognition.

Find below some of the best tools you can use for YouTube keyword research:

YouTube Keyword Tool - Keyword Tool Dominator

Introduction

The YouTube Keyword Tool uses YouTube’s Autocomplete service to find popular long
tail keywords directly from YouTube. What is YouTube’s Autocomplete service?

YouTube's Autocomplete Service

YouTube’s Autocomplete service (example shown above) is a technical term used for
the search suggestions you see when searching YouTube. This service is intended
to speed up your search interaction by trying to predict what you are searching
for on YouTube.

Here is the AMAZING thing!

These suggestions are predictions based on the most popular search terms related
to what is being typed in the search box.
And the best part is, these predictions
(suggestions) are from real people searching YouTube.
Therefore, YouTube
is telling you exactly what search terms (keywords) are the most popular. No more
guess work, period.

Keyword Tool Dominator — Unlocking Autocomplete

Keyword Tool Dominator unlocks the Autocomplete service by emulating a real human
user, and repeatedly typing in hundreds of search terms into YouTube. Each time
a search term is typed, YouTube provides a list of predictions (keywords and long
tail keywords) of what it thinks you are searching for. Keyword Tool Dominator then
simply saves all of these predictions and presents them to you.


How to use the YouTube Keyword Tool — It’s Really Simple

1

Enter a search term or keyword in the textbox above, then click the search button.

Try entering a keyword that you are interested in. Something like: minecraft, music
videos, movie trailers, or how to change my brakes, etc.

2

Keyword Tool Dominator will start typing search terms into YouTube using the search
term you provided. The corresponding keyword predictions are then listed in the
«YouTube Keyword List» panel.

3

Once you have a nice list of long tail keywords, you can download the keywords in
a .CSV file by clicking the «Download Selected Keywords» button. With the list of
keywords in a .CSV file you can easily import these keywords into another tool of
your choice. You can also import the keywords into Keyword Planner to get the search
volume and other data from Google Adwords.

Lastly, use the keywords in your YouTube video listings.

The top 100 YouTube search queries of the year are revealed in a study examining the search volume of over 800 million keywords.

YouTube does not provide this data officially, but Ahrefs compiles a report each year based on data in its Keyword Explorer tool.

Top queries in the report are broken down by searches in the US and searches performed worldwide.

First let’s take a look at top US searches.

Top YouTube Searches in the US

These are the top 20 searches on YouTube in the United States. For a complete list of top 100 queries, see the original report.

Top 20 US Queries (& Search Volume)

  1. pewdiepie (3,770,000)
  2. asmr (3,230,000)
  3. music (2,670,000)
  4. markiplier (2,380,000)
  5. old town road (2,040,000)
  6. pewdiepie vs t series (1,940,000)
  7. billie eilish (1,910,000)
  8. fortnite (1,630,000)
  9. david dobrik (1,610,000)
  10. jacksepticeye (1,580,000)
  11. james charles (1,560,000)
  12. joe rogan (1,560,000)
  13. baby shark (1,500,000)

  18. cnn (1,120,000)
  19. wwe (1,100,000)
  20. lofi (1,040,000)

Some observations:
One thing that’s clear when looking at this year’s top searches compared to last year’s is more people are turning to YouTube for music.

Almost a quarter of this year’s top 100 US searches are music related. The keyword “music” itself is the 3rd most searched term even.

Another auditory experience, ASMR, comes in at #2 which is down from last year’s top position.

Five of the top 10 searches are branded, which means people are searching directly for the names of channels and YouTube creators.

In fact, 50% of the top 100 searches are for specific YouTube personalities and channels.

At a glance it would appear gaming queries are still popular, but less so compared to last year.

That could be an indication Twitch is capturing more of the gaming audience.

Let’s see how these searches compare to the top worldwide searches.

Top YouTube Searches Worldwide

These are the top 20 searches on YouTube worldwide. For a complete list of top 100 queries, see the original report.

Top 20 Worldwide Queries (& Search Volume)

  1. bts (17,630,000)
  2. pewdiepie (16,320,000)
  3. asmr (13,910,000)
  4. billie eilish (13,860,000)
  5. baby shark (12,090,000)
  6. badabun (11,330,000)
  7. blackpink (10,390,000)
  8. old town road (10,150,000)
  9. music (9,670,000)
  10. peliculas completas en español (9,050,000)
  11. fortnite (9,010,000)
  12. pewdiepie vs t series (8,720,000)
  13. minecraft (8,560,000)
  14. senorita (8,290,000)
  15. ariana grande (7,890,000)
  16. alan walker (7,560,000)
  17. calma (7,390,000)
  18. tik tok (7,270,000)
  19. musica (7,140,000)
  20. bad bunny (7,040,000)

Some observations:
It appears the whole world is using YouTube more for music, as Ahrefs points out:

“Searches for artists, bands and songs dominate our list of the top 100 worldwide YouTube searches with a staggering 57/100 searches (almost ⅔) being music‐related.

So compared to the US, it seems that the rest of the World uses YouTube far more for music.”

The rest of the world isn’t as into branded content, however, as only two of the top 10 worldwide searches are branded.

Takeaways For Marketers

Perhaps the greatest takeaway for marketers is the insight into what users generally search for on YouTube.

People primarily turn to YouTube search for: music, gaming, branded content, and already-established YouTubers.

That presents a challenge when it comes to building an audience for smaller independent channels.

It’s not impossible though, as there are ways outside of search results to generate traffic to videos.

For instance, YouTube’s suggested videos are instrumental to the success of many channels’ content.
