What Are YouTube Tags?

Tags are keywords that describe the content of a YouTube video. They help YouTube understand what your video is about, and they also help users find videos that are relevant to their interests.

You can add tags to your videos when you upload them, or you can edit the tags later. YouTube also uses an algorithm to generate tags for your video automatically.

Why Are YouTube Tags Important?

There are several benefits to extracting tags from a YouTube video, including increased reach and understanding of which keywords work well for that particular video.

Increased Video Reach

YouTube tags do wonders in terms of helping your video show up in search results.

The more relevant tags you have, the greater chance your video will be discovered by viewers searching for videos like yours. This is especially true if you use popular keywords as tags.

By extracting the tags from a YouTube video, you can get an idea of which keywords are working well for that particular video, and then use those same keywords to tag your videos. This way, you can ensure that your videos are properly tagged and have a better chance of being discovered by viewers who are searching for content like yours.

Tags Tell Google and YouTube More About Your Videos

Tags are like keywords, except they are specifically used to tell Google and YouTube more about your videos. When you upload a new video, you will have the opportunity to add tags. These are short phrases that describe your video. It would help if you took some time to think about what tags you want to use. They should be relevant to your video and description of its content. 

You can use less than 400 characters for your tags, so make sure you use them wisely!

How to Take Tags From a YouTube video

You can extract tags from a YouTube video in two ways:

  • Source Code
  • YouTube Tag Extractor Tool 

Using Source Code

Follow the simple steps below to extract tags from YouTube videos using the source code.

  1. Launch your favorite browser. Log on to YouTube and enter your target video URL. 
  2. Now, right-click the video page and choose View Source from the menu. Alternatively, use Ctrl+U (Windows) or ⌘ U on a Mac.
  3. Now hit Ctrl + F to search the available source code for keywords.
  4. You’ll be able to see a list of the tags that Creator Studio applied to that video, and you’ll be able to extract or add additional tags as you see fit.

Here are some tips for choosing effective tags:

  • Use keyword research tools like Google AdWords Keyword Planner and YouTube Keyword Tool to find popular keywords related to your video.
  • Make a list of these keywords and brainstorm other words and phrases that could be used to describe your video.
  • Be as specific as possible – general terms will not be as helpful in describing your video content.
  • Use all characters – don’t waste any of the space you have been given!
  • Add new tags as your video grows in popularity, and think of additional keywords that could be used.

Remember, this is possible only on a desktop computer. If you are using a mobile device, you will not be able to access the source code.

Using a YouTube Tag Extractor

A few tag extractor tools are available online that can make extracting tags from a YouTube video a breeze.

These tools have extensions that you can add to your browser, making it easy to extract tags from any YouTube video. For instance, the TubeBuddy Chrome extension allows you to see the tags used by other YouTubers and get suggestions for new tags based on your video content.

Once you have installed the extension, simply go to the YouTube video page and click on the extension icon. This will bring up a list of all the tags that have been used for that video. 

After extracting the tags from a YouTube video, you can then use them to tag yours. This will help YouTube understand what your videos are about and make them more likely to see your video in search results. Using relevant and popular keywords as tags can increase your chances of being discovered by viewers searching for videos like yours.

What Are YouTube Tag Extractors? 

YouTube tag extractors are online tools that allow you to see the tags used in competitors’ videos. These tools help YouTubers get suggestions for new tags based on their video content. As stated earlier, there are a few different ways that you can go about extracting tags from a YouTube video. 

Once you have your chosen tool installed, simply navigate to the YouTube video that you want to extract tags from. Then, look for the section of the page that displays the tags (usually under the “More Info” tab). Click on the button or link that says “Show Tags,” and a list of tags will appear. You can copy and paste the tags into a text document or spreadsheet for later reference.

Conclusion

Remember, tags are one of the most important factors in getting your videos found by viewers looking for content like yours. So take the time to choose them carefully.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your video is properly tagged and has a better chance of being found by viewers interested in watching it.
