Timestamps help your audience navigate through your video, breaking it into different chapters. Search engines can also use them when indexing, so be sure to keep SEO keywords in mind when naming chapters.<\/p><p>Considering that most people watching your video will use these when viewing the video itself, and not in the description, these can go pretty low in the description.<\/p><p>They just need to be somewhere in the description for them to work. Timestamps can also go in the pinned comment, but at Geniuslink we believe low in the description is ideal.<\/p><p>An important thing to note here is that for these to work, you\u2019ll need a starting timestamp at 0:00.<\/p><p>Below is an example section from Linus\u2019s video description.<\/p><p>CHAPTERS<br

how much of a pain it can be to replace all of these affiliate links manually, so we\u2019ve created a service that handles the heavy lifting for you!<\/p><p>Our YouTube Link Optimizer automatically generates geni.us links in your account that match the existing amzn.to (or bit.ly\/bhpho.to) links in your video descriptions, and replaces them all in one bulk update!<\/p><p>We can process your entire channel at once, or just a few playlists to start.<br \/>Our YouTube Link Optimizer will detect any amzn.to (or bit.ly\/bhpho.to) short links you\u2019ve previously shared.<\/p><p>We\u2019ll then generate these links in your Geniuslink account, and automatically swap them out within each video description!<\/p><p>If you\u2019re interested in taking advantage of this service, the first step is to simply authorize our app to make changes to your video descriptions.
