You are absolutely right about using proper captioning. Famously, Youtube’s automatic transcription is pretty laughable. Rhett & Link have even recreated some classic Christmas Carols using their favorite transcription fails.

Hi Zeph,

Thank you for the comment. I completely agree that it’s important to pay attention to country and region specific colloquialisms. That’s what I was referring to in my advice about keyword research. ;) Great minds think alike!

Danika,

Great article, especially the tips on YouTube optimization. If I had to add something it would be that when conducting keyword research, there can be variations based on country or region, even in the same language. An example in English would be sweet carbonated beverages. In some places they call it soda, in others pop, and still others they call everything a coke!

In Latin America, the same thing occurrs. There are many examples, so I won’t belabor the point, but it is something that should be considered when you do keyword research for International SEO.
