Putting 1000 videos on youtube with the word t-rain will mean the word "rain".. That's what the point of all of this.

Until you get "LINKS", pointing to youtube, a domain, a page, a social site, something with the word "t-rain" in the anchor text.. You will probably never rank for it.

Feel free to link away...

found this searching youngrain on aol video search.. http://video.aol.com/video-detail/t-...one/3523445859

I think its somthing diffrent.. My full name brings stuff.. my domain youngrain.com brings stuff..

All my youtube songs say t-rain i looked at em.. And songs from stickam say T-Rain on each one but still wont come up t-rain..

search stickam and t-rain 2 songs out of my 300 plus songs all saying t-rain come up..

try putting quotes around it

:1orglaugh

Owh no! the sky is falling!!

yes yes teh sky is falling i just made this sence then..

ok ima' sleep.

bump for no reason

I Invented Search Engons.

It would be a lot easier if you had a T-Rain site first.

.com is taken but you could register T-Rain.net in the meantime and put some of your stuff on there. It would get your name in google much faster.

Social Network sites profile with custom URL that include T-rain are also good.

On stickam.com you are young devil, on your site young rain, you need to be consistent. make it all T-Rain.

I think that you are up against it with this name, even if you get links in.... the search engines don't want to see the dash as an important part of the name, so you are better off changing your name... it is like musicians that have a two letter name, most site searches and forums won't even allow a search on it, so they are much better off just renaming themselves something unique and easily searched for


as evidence that google ignores the dash even when many links are in, I did a search (with quotes even) on "coca-cola", and some sites showed up in the top 50 with just "coca cola", no dash, and no coca-cola on the site... which shows me that even if you started getting links that google will probably still see your searches as "t rain" and you'll never get the results you are hoping for


and don't mind the haters, all artists have people that don't appreciate or don't get it.... as long as your art works for you that is what matters the most

apart from what TheDoc said also get a blogger blog and start using your name on the blog "T-Rain" get links to the blog from social sites etc.

If you want to rank in the SE's for a word there has to be some page with the word, google can't read videos.

Ok now when i upload a youtube video it takes all the hyphens out. I noticed this earlier so maybe somthing is changing. you can see the hyphens in the videos uploaded earlier but now it takes the hyphens out completly and i usually use more then one hyphen to label a video.

I will not change my name that is redicules. I will be going by just the name rain too. Take out the T- and it leaves Rain. Id rather battle for that word then even think of changing my name.

:1orglaugh

Get a new name.

T-rain is gay as hell anyway.

And Davey jones is a good orignal name?

Let me show you why T-Rain is a good name for me.

1. Spells Train without the hyphen
2. Spells Rain with out the T-
3. I come from seattle area whewre it is know to Rain alot.
4. My name is Traviss Whis is the first 3 letters of the name T-Rain.
5. No one has ever been T-Rain or this problem whouldent be happening.


See... You just a hater....

WTF is a Search engones? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Anyone know excactly why youtube takes out hyphens in the titles now sence i started this thread.. kinda weird?

well, the battle is just going to be a battle that you'll never win as far as the search engines go.. maybe add a byline to your name, like Mister T-Rain, or something, anything that when coupled with your name it will now make your name unique and not "train" to the search engines

LOL Mister T-Rain?????? Im gonna be famous so Im not trippin It will be a breeze getting spots even though i wont need them. Of course ill still be pushing porn and my own self when im big but im just so broke right now. I went to get some domains at godaddy and i cant even use my paypal cuz it says i need a bank account connected to it which i just get money sent to me sence my bank closed long ago.

Music break--------------------------------------------------

Mr T pitys the fool :1orglaugh

instead of linking as http://www.youngrain.com/ use it like this
T-Rain

On the limewire fourm Someone said to goo with TeeRain Maybe TeaRain.. I had a thought of going T-Pot too.. Like teapot it dosent ring to me with just the hyphen.. But that has a hypen too.. That was back when i first started using t-rain back some 10 years ago.

im gonna go with another site for my main one once i get a place that takes Paypal and dosent make me have to have a bank attached to it.. godaddy dosent let me.. my bank closed long ago i just have people send me paypal money..


Anyone know a good register that takes paypal?

Someone tomarrow might get it at godaddy for me and ill send paypal money to them and they are the ones that hooked me up space for girlgoesbad.com ... But i want to get it now...

That sucks huh!

Okay, seriously . . . you are proud of that?
