Great post Glenn.
I've been researching Video SEO for quite some time - particularly as it applies to Youtube - and your post here has opened up a few new factors to consider...
ie. I usually browse Youtube without signing in, doing so only if I want to post a comment on someone's video. But, based on what your report here is indicating, I'll likely sign in every time now just to build up a history with Youtube for my account. :)
Good stuff!

Thanks Steve. I'm glad you enjoyed my post!
Greg had some great points during his presentation at SES, and my subsequent research backed up several of them.
In particular, it was interesting to find certain videos ranking above other videos that had 5-10x the amount of views. Digging deeper revealed that the community factors had a big impact...
Thanks again.

Great post, Glenn.
I'm curious to know if you can provide more insight regarding the inbound links to a video on YouTube and embedded videos. If a blogger embeds my YouTube video on their site, will that count as in inbound link?

Glen I agree that it is an ensemble of factors rather than a single magic issue which ultimatemy determines rankings in Google or Youtube. The checklist you provide and your licid analysis is a useful primer for serious webmasters and digital entrepreneurs. SEO literacy like is the new lireracy requirement in business and life success just the three "R"'s were in times gone by. Proof.. It already helped elect a President and is making fortunes for thousands daily....

Great post. I had an observation though... you seemed to make the point that the fact that the person had not logged into his You Tube channel in 11 months. I didn't see that as one of Mr. Markel's factors. Do you think it has any bearing on your position?

Very detailed analysis of rankings on Youtube. Not only does this article gives some insights into the inner workings of Youtube, but it also helps to reveal basic analytical thought processes that can be applied else where.

Good information as to how videos are ranked at YouTube. Some marketing gurus are charging for this depth of video optimization techniques.

Good sharing. I obtianed lots of info from yr article. Currently i am conducting a research to increase the value of my youtube account by utilizing other people's video as i do not have so many video.
I used to read an article that we can "borrow" others video and put in our youtube account to increase our trafifc. Do u have any idea about this?

good post I am researching this very option myself at the moment I also have noticed a lot of people marketing via you tube and fooling people as to the content with the image used.
One question that I had was does google keyword tool count for you tube results.
