Most YouTube SEO advice online was written for a platform that no longer exists.<\/p>\n

Tag stuffing, keyword-dense descriptions, exact-match titles: all inherited from web SEO.<\/p>\n

Three things still move the needle. The rest is decoration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tools sell the decoration because it is easy to score and display.<\/p>\n

The parts that matter are harder to put in a dashboard. \ud83d\udd27<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcc9 What Stopped Working<\/h2>\n

Advice that was true once and is repeated long after it stopped.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udcc9 The decline of old ranking tactics<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\ntags and stuffing<\/text>\n\nretention and clicks<\/text>\nolder<\/text>\n\u4eca<\/text>\nThe platform reads your audio and on-screen text directly these days.<\/text>\nSource: OutlierKit (2026); Sanish Tech (2026).<\/text>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n

Why tags faded<\/h3>\n

YouTube once needed you to describe your own video.<\/p>\n

It now transcribes your speech and reads text on screen.<\/p>\n

Your description of the video is redundant information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fill a few in and stop thinking about them.<\/p>\n

Why keyword stuffing backfires<\/h3>\n

Stuffed titles read badly and lower your click rate.<\/p>\n

A lower click rate reduces how widely the video is shown.<\/p>\n

You lose more from the packaging than you gain from the keyword.<\/p>\n

What replaced both<\/h3>\n

Say the topic clearly in the first thirty seconds of the video.<\/p>\n

That is now the strongest signal you control directly.<\/p>\n

It also happens to be good presenting (Futurepedia, 2026).<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfaf Intent Beats Exact Match<\/h2>\n

The single biggest change in how YouTube search works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Old approach<\/th>\nCurrent approach<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Repeat the exact phrase<\/td>\nAnswer the actual question<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Match wording precisely<\/td>\nMatch what the searcher wants<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Optimise metadata<\/td>\nOptimise the first minute<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Chase volume<\/td>\nChase urgency<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Rank at any cost<\/td>\nRank and get clicked<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Ranking without clicks is now the most common quiet failure.<\/p>\n

Position one with a bad thumbnail still earns very little.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to match intent properly<\/h3>\n

Search your phrase and read what the top results actually deliver.<\/p>\n

If they are all quick answers, do not publish a forty-minute lecture.<\/p>\n

Format is part of intent, not just topic.<\/p>\n

\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306e \u30ad\u30fc\u30ef\u30fc\u30c9\u8abf\u67fb\u30ac\u30a4\u30c9<\/a> covers reading that page properly.<\/p>\n

Why urgency beats volume<\/h3>\n

A hundred urgent searches convert better than a thousand idle ones.<\/p>\n

Problem-shaped queries carry urgency by definition.<\/p>\n

Those are the phrases worth building videos around.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd0e Research Intent Without Limits \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f Your Spoken Words Are Metadata<\/h2>\n

The most underused ranking lever available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Where to say it<\/th>\n\u306a\u305c<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
First fifteen seconds<\/td>\nSets the topic clearly<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When introducing each section<\/td>\nReinforces naturally<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
On screen as text<\/td>\nRead as well as heard<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
In the closing summary<\/td>\nConfirms the subject<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Everywhere, repeatedly<\/td>\nAvoid, it sounds robotic<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Two or three natural mentions is the right amount.<\/p>\n

Saying it fifteen times damages the video for viewers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why this beats description tinkering<\/h3>\n

Descriptions are read by very few viewers.<\/p>\n

Your spoken opening is heard by everyone who clicks.<\/p>\n

One of those two things affects retention. The other does not.<\/p>\n

Spend your attention accordingly.<\/p>\n

The on-screen text point<\/h3>\n

Text you show is readable by the platform as well as the viewer.<\/p>\n

A clear title card early in the video is worth adding.<\/p>\n

It also helps viewers who arrived unsure what they clicked.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcdd Descriptions That Actually Help<\/h2>\n

Short, front-loaded, and not stuffed with anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Element<\/th>\nAdvice<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
First two lines<\/td>\nThe only part most people see<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Topic statement<\/td>\nPlain language, one sentence<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Chapters<\/td>\nGenuinely useful for viewers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u30ea\u30f3\u30af<\/td>\nA few, clearly labelled<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Keyword paragraphs<\/td>\nSkip entirely<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Wall of hashtags<\/td>\nSkip entirely<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Chapters are the most underrated element in that list.<\/p>\n

They improve retention by letting people find what they need.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why chapters help ranking indirectly<\/h3>\n

A viewer who finds their answer stays longer.<\/p>\n

Longer viewing sessions strengthen how the video is distributed.<\/p>\n

The mechanism is retention rather than metadata (Product Insight AI, 2026).<\/p>\n

The two-line rule<\/h3>\n

Write the description as though only two lines will be read.<\/p>\n

Because in practice, only two lines will be read.<\/p>\n

Everything after that is for the small minority who expand it.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\uddf0 Which Tools Help With Which Factor<\/h2>\n

Matching the feature to the thing that actually matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\u8981\u7d20<\/th>\nWhat helps<\/th>\n\u6599\u91d1<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Only the last row costs real money.<\/p>\n

The two highest-impact factors are free to work on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why retention cannot be bought<\/h3>\n

It depends on your pacing, your editing and your opening.<\/p>\n

No dashboard improves any of those three.<\/p>\n

Watching your own retention graph is the only real tool here.<\/p>\n

It is free and most creators never open it.<\/p>\n

Where paid tools genuinely earn their keep<\/h3>\n

Producing more videos, consistently, without running out of topics.<\/p>\n

That is a volume problem and unlimited access solves it.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcca How Much SEO Effort Is Right<\/h2>\n

It depends entirely on where your views come from.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udcca Effort to spend, by how much search drives your channel<\/p>\n

\n\nUnder 15 percent<\/text>\nFeed-driven channel<\/text>\nBarely bother<\/text>\nWork on thumbnails<\/text>\n\n15 to 35 percent<\/text>\nMixed channel<\/text>\n\u8efd\u3044\u30bf\u30c3\u30c1<\/text>\nTitles and topics only<\/text>\n\nOver 35 percent<\/text>\nSearch-driven channel<\/text>\nReal effort pays<\/text>\nResearch every video<\/text>\n\nCheck Studio, Analytics, Traffic Sources before deciding<\/text>\nUse your last twenty videos, not a site-wide average<\/text>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n

Why the split varies so much<\/h3>\n

Tutorial and repair channels live on search almost entirely.<\/p>\n

Commentary and entertainment channels barely touch it.<\/p>\n

Generic SEO advice ignores which of those you are.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your own analytics settles it in one minute.<\/p>\n

What to do in the left column<\/h3>\n

Spend your time on thumbnails, openings and pacing instead.<\/p>\n

Those drive the feed, which is where your views come from.<\/p>\n

Keyword work there has genuinely low returns.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udeab Seven SEO Habits to Drop<\/h2>\n

Each of these costs time and returns almost nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Habit<\/th>\nWhy to stop<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Filling forty tags<\/td>\nAlmost no weight now<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Keyword paragraphs in descriptions<\/td>\nNobody reads them<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Exact-match awkward titles<\/td>\nLowers your click rate<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Chasing high volume phrases<\/td>\nYou lose to bigger channels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Copying competitor tags<\/td>\nCopies a tactic that stopped working<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Endless metadata tweaking<\/td>\nDiminishing returns quickly<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ignoring retention graphs<\/td>\nSkipping the real data<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The last row is the most expensive habit on the list.<\/p>\n

Your retention graph tells you exactly where you lose people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to read a retention graph<\/h3>\n

Find the steepest drop and watch that part of your video.<\/p>\n

Whatever you did there is what to stop doing.<\/p>\n

Fixing one pattern improves every future upload (Orbit River, 2026).<\/p>\n

What to do with the time you save<\/h3>\n

Put it into your opening thirty seconds and your thumbnail.<\/p>\n

Those two things drive more results than all seven habits combined.<\/p>\n

Six habits, none of which require a subscription.<\/p>\n

A paid tool helps with volume, not with any row above.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where I would spend money<\/h3>\n

On producing more videos, if that is genuinely your bottleneck.<\/p>\n

At six or more videos monthly, unlimited generation earns its price.<\/p>\n

Below that, free tools cover this entirely (Busy Mom Side Hustle, 2026).<\/p>\n

\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306e \u5b8c\u5168\u30ec\u30d3\u30e5\u30fc<\/a> covers what the paid plan includes.<\/p>\n

The one habit worth building<\/h3>\n

Open your retention graph after every video you publish.<\/p>\n

Ninety seconds of looking teaches you more than any SEO checklist.<\/p>\n

It is free, first-party, and specific to your channel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcca Where Optimisation Time Actually Pays<\/h2>\n

An hour spent on each of these returns very different amounts.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udcca Return on one hour of optimisation work<\/p>\n

Why thumbnails top the list<\/h3>\n

Every viewer sees the thumbnail before anything else.<\/p>\n

A better thumbnail lifts every impression the video ever receives.<\/p>\n

No metadata change comes close to that leverage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An hour here is the best-spent hour in the whole process.<\/p>\n

Why the opening ranks second<\/h3>\n

It decides whether the click turns into a view worth counting.<\/p>\n

Most of the loss on a weak video happens in the first fifteen seconds.<\/p>\n

Rewriting that section is fast and repeatable.<\/p>\n

Why the bottom bars still get all the attention<\/h3>\n

They are easy to score, easy to display and easy to sell.<\/p>\n

Thumbnails and pacing resist being turned into a green checkmark.<\/p>\n

That is a limitation of dashboards, not a statement about importance.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd2c Auditing One of Your Own Videos<\/h2>\n

A concrete twenty-minute exercise on a video that underperformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6<\/td>\nSearch terms report<\/strong><\/td>\nWhich queries found it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Each step points at a different fix, and only one involves keywords.<\/p>\n

Diagnosing before changing anything saves enormous amounts of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Low impressions<\/h3>\n

The platform is not showing the video widely.<\/p>\n

That is usually a topic or audience mismatch rather than metadata.<\/p>\n

Changing the title will not fix it.<\/p>\n

Consider whether the subject suited your existing viewers at all.<\/p>\n

High impressions, low clicks<\/h3>\n

People saw it and chose something else.<\/p>\n

This is the clearest signal that packaging is the problem.<\/p>\n

Change the thumbnail first, then the title (Sanish Tech, 2026).<\/p>\n

Good clicks, poor retention<\/h3>\n

The promise was made and not kept.<\/p>\n

Watch your own opening and find where the energy drops.<\/p>\n

Fix that pattern in the next video rather than the last one.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udde9 SEO for Different Kinds of Channel<\/h2>\n

The same advice does not apply everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Entertainment<\/td>\nVery low<\/td>\nPackaging above all<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The bottom three rows should largely ignore keyword advice.<\/p>\n

Their growth comes from the feed, which rewards different things.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why troubleshooting channels win at search<\/h3>\n

People with a broken thing search with real urgency.<\/p>\n

They type exact symptoms, which are easy phrases to target.<\/p>\n

They also watch to the end because they need the answer.<\/p>\n

That combination is unusually favourable.<\/p>\n

Why entertainment channels should not bother<\/h3>\n

Nobody searches for a video they did not know existed.<\/p>\n

Discovery there happens entirely through recommendation.<\/p>\n

Time spent on keywords is time taken from packaging (Orbit River, 2026).<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd70\ufe0f How Search Performance Builds<\/h2>\n

Search videos behave differently from feed videos, and the timeline shows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Timeframe<\/th>\nFeed video<\/th>\nSearch video<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
First 48 hours<\/td>\nMost of its views<\/strong><\/td>\nVery few<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Six months<\/td>\nOccasional trickle<\/td>\nStill accumulating<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Two years<\/td>\nEssentially dormant<\/td>\nOften still earning<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The bottom row is why search content is worth the effort.<\/p>\n

One good search video keeps working for years without you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why patience matters here<\/h3>\n

Judging a search video after a week gives you the wrong answer.<\/p>\n

Many creators delete or rewrite them just as they begin ranking.<\/p>\n

Give them sixty days before drawing conclusions.<\/p>\n

Set a reminder rather than trusting your memory.<\/p>\n

The library effect<\/h3>\n

Thirty search videos each earning a trickle adds up to a real baseline.<\/p>\n

That baseline keeps a channel alive between successful uploads.<\/p>\n

It is the quiet foundation most sustainable channels are built on.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\uddf1 A Publishing Checklist That Reflects 2026<\/h2>\n

6<\/td>\nAdd a few relevant tags<\/td>\n1 min, no more<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Steps one to three take four minutes and carry most of the value.<\/p>\n

Step six is included only because people expect to see it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why phone size matters for thumbnails<\/h3>\n

A thumbnail that works on a laptop can be unreadable on a phone.<\/p>\n

Shrink it and check whether the subject is still clear.<\/p>\n

Text that survives that test is text worth keeping.<\/p>\n

Everything else should be removed rather than shrunk (Product Insight AI, 2026).<\/p>\n

Why watching your own opening works<\/h3>\n

You will hear the throat-clearing that viewers never tolerate.<\/p>\n

Most weak openings can be cut by ten seconds without loss.<\/p>\n

That cut alone lifts early retention measurably.<\/p>\n

\u2753 \u3088\u304f\u3042\u308b\u8cea\u554f<\/h2>\n

Do tags still matter on YouTube?<\/h3>\n

Very little. The platform reads your audio and on-screen text now.<\/p>\n

\u307b\u3093\u306e\u4e00\u63e1\u308a\u3092\u8ffd\u52a0\u3057\u3066\u3001\u4ed6\u306e\u5834\u6240\u306b\u52b4\u529b\u3092\u8cbb\u3084\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n

What is the most important ranking factor?<\/h3>\n

Click-through rate, followed closely by early retention.<\/p>\n

\u3069\u3061\u3089\u3082\u30e1\u30bf\u30c7\u30fc\u30bf\u3067\u306f\u306a\u304f\u3001\u30d1\u30c3\u30b1\u30fc\u30b8\u5316\u3068\u30da\u30fc\u30b7\u30f3\u30b0\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Should I put keywords in the description?<\/h3>\n

State the topic plainly in the first two lines.<\/p>\n

\u30ad\u30fc\u30ef\u30fc\u30c9\u306e\u6bb5\u843d\u3092\u5b8c\u5168\u306b\u30b9\u30ad\u30c3\u30d7\u3059\u308b\u3068\u3001\u8ab0\u3082\u8aad\u307e\u306a\u304f\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Do chapters help SEO?<\/h3>\n

Indirectly, by helping viewers find what they came for.<\/p>\n

\u4fdd\u6301\u306e\u5411\u4e0a\u306f\u30e1\u30bf\u30c7\u30fc\u30bf\u3067\u306f\u306a\u304f\u30e1\u30ab\u30cb\u30ba\u30e0\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Is exact-match still needed in titles?<\/h3>\n

No. Match the intent and keep the title clickable.<\/p>\n

\u304e\u3053\u3061\u306a\u3044\u5b8c\u5168\u4e00\u81f4\u30bf\u30a4\u30c8\u30eb\u306f\u3001\u5f97\u3089\u308c\u308b\u3082\u306e\u3088\u308a\u3082\u30b3\u30b9\u30c8\u304c\u304b\u304b\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

How often should I update old videos?<\/h3>\n

Only when a video has high impressions and low clicks.<\/p>\n

\u3053\u306e\u7d44\u307f\u5408\u308f\u305b\u306f\u3001\u30d1\u30c3\u30b1\u30fc\u30b8\u306b\u554f\u984c\u304c\u3042\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3092\u610f\u5473\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Do I need a paid SEO tool?<\/h3>\n

Not for the factors that matter most.<\/p>\n

\u6709\u6599\u30c4\u30fc\u30eb\u306f\u3088\u308a\u591a\u304f\u306e\u30d3\u30c7\u30aa\u3092\u4f5c\u6210\u3059\u308b\u306e\u306b\u5f79\u7acb\u3061\u307e\u3059\u304c\u3001\u3053\u308c\u306f\u5225\u306e\u554f\u984c\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Does Tube Magic do SEO?<\/h3>\n

It includes unlimited keyword research and generation on its $47 plan.<\/p>\n

\u7121\u6599\u5229\u7528\u67a0\u306f\u306a\u304f\u300130 \u65e5\u9593\u306e\u8fd4\u91d1\u4fdd\u8a3c\u306e\u307f\u304c\u4ed8\u3044\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

What free tools cover SEO adequately?<\/h3>\n

YouTube Studio, autocomplete, and the free tiers of vidIQ or TubeBuddy.<\/p>\n

\u3053\u308c\u3089\u306e\u9593\u306b\u306f\u91cd\u8981\u306a\u4e8b\u9805\u304c\u542b\u307e\u308c\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

How long until a video ranks?<\/h3>\n

Search rankings settle slowly, so judge at sixty days.<\/p>\n

\u30d5\u30a3\u30fc\u30c9\u306e\u30d1\u30d5\u30a9\u30fc\u30de\u30f3\u30b9\u306f 1 \u9031\u9593\u4ee5\u5185\u306b\u78ba\u8a8d\u3067\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Does video length affect ranking?<\/h3>\n

Only through retention. A long video people finish does well.<\/p>\n

\u4eba\u3005\u304c\u653e\u68c4\u3059\u308b\u9577\u3044\u30d3\u30c7\u30aa\u306f\u305d\u3046\u3067\u306f\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002<\/p>\n

What single change helps most?<\/h3>\n

Rewriting your first fifteen seconds to be specific and immediate.<\/p>\n

\u3053\u308c\u306b\u3088\u308a\u5b9a\u7740\u7387\u304c\u5411\u4e0a\u3057\u3001\u4e0b\u6d41\u306e\u3059\u3079\u3066\u304c\u6539\u5584\u3055\u308c\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Do playlists help search performance?<\/h3>\n

They help session length, which is a stronger signal than most metadata.<\/p>\n

\u95a2\u9023\u3059\u308b\u30d3\u30c7\u30aa\u3092\u30b0\u30eb\u30fc\u30d7\u5316\u3057\u3001\u6b21\u306e\u30d3\u30c7\u30aa\u306b\u3064\u306a\u3052\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Should I use hashtags?<\/h3>\n

Two or three relevant ones are harmless and occasionally useful.<\/p>\n

20 \u306e\u58c1\u306f\u4f55\u3082\u8ffd\u52a0\u305b\u305a\u3001\u30b9\u30d1\u30e0\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306b\u898b\u3048\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Does uploading at a specific time matter?<\/h3>\n

Less than people think, though publishing when your audience is online helps early clicks.<\/p>\n

\u8996\u8074\u8005\u304c YouTube \u306b\u30a2\u30af\u30bb\u30b9\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u6642\u9593\u30ec\u30dd\u30fc\u30c8\u3092\u78ba\u8a8d\u3057\u3001\u81ea\u7531\u306b\u4f7f\u7528\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n

Do subtitles affect ranking?<\/h3>\n

Accurate subtitles help accessibility and give the platform clean text to read.<\/p>\n

\u4f55\u3082\u30a2\u30c3\u30d7\u30ed\u30fc\u30c9\u3057\u306a\u3044\u3067\u3001\u81ea\u52d5\u751f\u6210\u3055\u308c\u305f\u3082\u306e\u3092\u4fee\u6b63\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n

Is it worth optimising Shorts for search?<\/h3>\n

Rarely. Shorts are distributed through the feed almost entirely.<\/p>\n

\u4ee3\u308f\u308a\u306b\u3001\u6700\u521d\u306e 2 \u79d2\u306b\u52b4\u529b\u3092\u8cbb\u3084\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n

Does changing a title reset a video ranking?<\/h3>\n

No. The video keeps its history and the new title simply takes effect.<\/p>\n

\u307b\u3068\u3093\u3069\u306e\u5834\u5408\u3001\u7de8\u96c6\u306e\u65b9\u304c\u518d\u30a2\u30c3\u30d7\u30ed\u30fc\u30c9\u3088\u308a\u3082\u512a\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u306e\u306f\u3053\u306e\u305f\u3081\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

How many videos before search traffic appears?<\/h3>\n

Often around twenty, because the platform needs a sense of your subject.<\/p>\n

\u3053\u3053\u3067\u306f\u3001\u30b9\u30b1\u30b8\u30e5\u30fc\u30eb\u306e\u4e00\u8cab\u6027\u3068\u540c\u3058\u304f\u3089\u3044\u3001\u30c8\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u306e\u4e00\u8cab\u6027\u304c\u91cd\u8981\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Can I rank against very large channels?<\/h3>\n

On narrow, specific phrases, regularly. On broad ones, rarely.<\/p>\n
