High quality content
Regardless of the strategies you use, your videos must be high quality. Uploads should be funny or relevant or preferably both to attract clicks and hold onto viewers. One advantage of Dailymotion is the administrators are more lenient in terms copyright and of what video content is allowed. Dailymotion administrators are also less strict in terms of adult content which may allow scope for stimulating and eye-catching content.
Strong Titles
You need to use strong, interesting titles that inform your viewers and describe clearly what the video is about to get more views. It is important that the description is at least 300 words long to increase your ranking. Your title should be brief and to the point. Ideally titles should pique viewers’ curiosity without giving too much away. Provocative titles, which draw viewers in to find out more, known as clickbait, are effective if executed well.
Strong tags and keywords.
The video description should contain appropriate specific keywords to increase the traffic you receive through the site’s own search function. Interesting, popular and relevant tags are also important. Make use of all of the relevant keywords from your description and title in the tags section.

More views will drive your video up the search rankings which in turn will help you achieve more views.
