A closer look
The YTKits YouTube Keyword Extractor samples public videos from a channel and extracts topics from titles and available tags. Research scores combine median relative performance, repeated use, title evidence, and phrase specificity. They describe associations within the sample; they do not prove that a keyword caused views or will make another video rank.
How it works
- Paste a public YouTube channel URL or search for a channel. Individual video URLs are not supported here.
- Choose how many recent uploads to sample.
- Filter topics by repeated use, specific phrases, or above-baseline performance, and inspect supporting videos.
- Copy selected phrases or export the table as CSV.
Some videos do not expose tags, and a channel with few public uploads may return a small sample.
Understanding the scores
- Relative performance: Compares median lifetime views per day with the sampled channel's median. Upload age has a seven-day floor; missing or future dates use lifetime views instead. Small samples are pulled toward the baseline and extreme ratios are capped. This is a research heuristic, not a forecast or recent viewing velocity.
- Average and median views: Lifetime public view counts of matching videos. Median views reduce the influence of a single viral upload.
- Frequency: Counts matching videos once each, even when a tag repeats. Titles are included alongside tags.
- Title evidence: Shows how many sampled titles contain the extracted topic.
- Phrase type: Terms with 3 or more words are labeled long-tail to separate specific wording from broad terms.
- Sample confidence: A repeated term has more sample support than a term seen once. This does not predict search rankings.
- Research score (0–100): Combines relative performance (55%), repeated use (25%), title evidence (15%), and phrase specificity (5%), with a small-sample penalty. These weights are heuristics, not a validated prediction model. This is not YouTube search volume or an official YouTube score.
How to use the result
Use the output to understand how a channel labels recurring subjects and to develop topic ideas. Select only phrases that accurately describe your own video. Irrelevant or copied tags do not improve content quality and can mislead viewers.
A larger sample can reveal more historical vocabulary, while a smaller sample emphasizes recent uploads. Neither setting predicts future rankings.
Frequently asked questions
Does this show YouTube search volume?
No. YTKits uses public video metadata and public views from the selected sample. It does not have access to YouTube's private query-volume or ranking data.
Does a high score guarantee that my video will rank?
No. A high score means the term has a stronger association with views and repetition in the selected sample. Relevance, viewer response, competition, and many private systems affect discovery.
Can I analyze any channel?
You can analyze public channels and videos that YouTube makes available through the API. Private, deleted, restricted, or unavailable content cannot be analyzed.
Can I export the result?
Yes. You can copy selected keywords or export all topics matching your current filters, including research score, matching videos, average and median views, relative performance, title matches, recent matches, confidence, and sample size.
