How To See The Tags Of Any YouTube Video

Do you want to be able to see the keywords that
your competitors are using for their video tags?

For many years you could view the tags of any YouTube video directly below it’s description. Back in 2012 YouTube removed the tags from view because they were being abused.

Even though video tags are hidden from view, you should still use them so your videos can be found when somebody searches on Google or YouTube.

Getting tag ideas by spying on your competitors’ videos will help you generate more ideas for your own video tags. Just don’t abuse this feature by copying and pasting ALL your competitors’ tags.
