Questions people ask
How does YouTube count the 500 characters?
It counts the letters in every tag, plus a comma between tags, plus 2 for the quotation marks it adds around any tag that contains a space.
Do tags still matter?
YouTube says tags play a minimal role in discovery. They help most when your topic is often misspelled or has several common names.
Where do the tags come from?
Only from the words you type, combined into patterns. The tool does not look up search volume or competitor tags.
