What Is a YouTube Tag Extractor?
Tags help YouTube understand a video’s topic and common misspellings, but YouTube says they play a small role compared with the title, thumbnail and description. Looking at the tags, titles and hashtags of top videos in your niche is still a quick way to find keyword ideas and see how successful creators describe their content.
