A pretty good checklist to maximize youtube results. In addition to what's on this post, you also need to create playlist for your top categories. Playlist using your primary keywords are easily found in google search and are a stronger indication of your channel's expertise than individual videos alone.
Excellent videos from Google Analytics. I highly recommend you understand analytics deeply before you begin your site redesign. Understand which metrics are your key priorities, and more importantly, how you can drive them. If you plan to support SEO/Webdesign, you need to have Google Analytics in your training plan.
