Title rating and improvement process and system
In accordance with one embodiment, a method can be implemented that comprises receiving as an input a title of a video from a video sharing web site; parsing the title of the video into one or more n-grams; computing with a computer a title-searchability-score by utilizing the one or more n-grams.
1. A method for evaluating a title in view of popular search topics to quantify searchability of the title, the method comprising:
receiving as input a title of a video from a video sharing website;
parsing the title of the video into one or more n-grams;
obtaining a search volume for each of the one or more n-grams, the search volume indicating the popularity of a given n-gram;
identifying popular n-grams in the one or more n-grams, the popular n-grams having a search volume above a predetermined threshold;
computing, with a computer, a search engine optimization metric for the title based at least in part on the popular n-grams in the title;
computing, with the computer, a title-searchability score based on the search engine optimization metric, the title-searchability score indicating a strength of the title when the content associated with the title is searched for;
presenting information to a user indicating a probability of a search engine returning the title, the information based on the title-searchability score; and
outputting one or more suggestions for making the title more searchable when the title-searchability score satisfies a condition.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more suggestions for making the title more searchable include a recommendation for improving the title-searchability score of the title by suggesting replacement words to include in the title.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the replacement words are obtained from text-based sources.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the replacement words are obtained from metadata associated with similar videos on the video sharing website.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the
search engine optimization metric is computing for the title using the total number of characters in the title and the number of popular n-grams in the title.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying unpopular n-grams in the one or more n-grams, the unpopular n-grams having a search volume below a predetermined threshold.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
modifying the unpopular n-grams to remove one or more special characters.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information presented to the user indicating the probability of a search engine returning the title is a written assessment of the title based on the title-searchability score.
9. A system for evaluating a title in view of popular search topics to quantify searchability of the title, the system comprising:
a user interface to receive as input a title of a video from a video sharing website;
one or more processors configured to:
parse the title of the video into one or more n-grams;
obtain a search volume for each of the one or more n-grams, the search volume indicating the popularity of a given n-gram;
identify popular n-grams in the one or more n-grams, the popular n-grams having a search volume above a predetermined threshold;
compute a search engine optimization metric for the title based at least in part on the popular n-grams in the title;
compute a title-searchability score based on the search engine optimization metric, the title-searchability score indicating a strength of the title when the content associated with the title is searched for; and
outputting one or more suggestions for making the title more searchable when the title-searchability score satisfies a condition; and
a graphical user interface to present information to a user indicating a probability of a search engine returning the title, the information based on the title searchability score.
10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more suggestions for making the title more searchable include a recommendation for improving the title-searchability score of the title by suggesting replacement words to include in the title.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the
search engine optimization metric for the title is computed using the total number of characters in the title and the number of popular n-grams in the title.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
identify unpopular n-grams in the one or more n-grams, the unpopular n-grams having a search volume below a predetermined threshold; and
modify the unpopular n-grams to remove one or more special characters.
13. One or more tangible processor-readable storage media of a tangible article of manufacture encoding processor-executable instructions for executing on an electronic computing system a process for evaluating a title in view of popular search topics to quantify searchability of the title, the process comprising:
receiving as input a title of a video from a video sharing website;
parsing the title of the video into one or more n-grams;
obtaining a search volume for each of the one or more n-grams, the search volume indicating the popularity of a given n-gram;
identifying popular n-grams in the one or more n-grams, the popular n-grams having a search volume above a predetermined threshold;
computing, with a computer, a search engine optimization metric for the title based at least in part on the popular n-grams in the title;
computing, with the computer, a title-searchability score based on the search engine optimization metric, the title-searchability score indicating a strength of the title when the content associated with the title is searched for;
presenting information to a user indicating a probability of a search engine returning the title, the information based on the title-searchability score; and
outputting one or more suggestions for making the title more searchable when the title-searchability score satisfies a condition.
14. The one or more tangible processor-readable storage media of claim 13 , wherein outputting operation further comprises:
generating a recommendation for improving the title-searchability score of the title by suggesting replacement words to include in the title.
15. The one or more tangible processor-readable storage media of claim 13 , wherein the
search engine optimization metric for the title is computed using the total number of characters in the title and the number of popular n-grams in the title.
