Question 1

What is a YouTube tag generator?

Accepted Answer

A YouTube tag generator is a tool that suggests tags for a video.

This one takes them from the top 10 videos for your keyword and YouTube's own suggestions, fitted to 500 characters.

Question 2

How do I find the best tags for a YouTube video?

Accepted Answer

Type the video's main search into the YouTube tag generator.

It shows the tags the top videos for that search use and how many use each, and ticks the ones they share.

Question 3

How many tags should I use on YouTube?

Accepted Answer

Use the ones that describe the video, up to YouTube's 500 characters.

More tags don't help, since YouTube says tags play a minimal role in discovery.

Question 4

Do tags help a video rank on YouTube?

Accepted Answer

A little.

YouTube's page on how search works lists tags among the things it matches to a search, with the title, description and video content, and its help page says tags play a minimal role beyond misspellings.

Question 5

Can I generate tags from a video link?

Yes, pick A video and paste its link.

The tool reads that video's tags and the tags of the top videos like it.
