[darkthor]

Hi guys, my questions is as the title says: do you think high retention views would help your Youtube videos to rank high on Google? Because the common knowledge is that it will definitely help the video ranked high in Youtube search.
Thanks for your inputs!

It will help, but for google serp.
You need backlinks, like any other sites.

with youtube videos, i would definitely use the description box as much as possible as well as have embedded linking with your videos directing to other videos within your niche. Back-linking will help you a lot but make sure the back-links are relevant.

That's the key!
