And you can do that primarily through building links to your YouTube video. I have done my own studies and testing and it shows that link building has an effect to making a video rank well, not only in YouTube but also in Google and the other search engines. And do not forget to optimize your post with the right keywords. Put your keywords in the title of the video and also in the description and the tags.

Another good way to promote your video is through the social media web sites like Facebook, Twitter, the various forums, and also the social bookmarking sites. It is very easy to spread the word about your new video using these services. It is also a bonus if you already have a good fan base on any of these sites.
