You may have seen your favorite TikTok creators using labels such as #fyp #Foryou and #FYPU. But the actual situation is: just because everyone is doing something … it does not mean that it is really effective.

On the surface, these labels aim to mark the content as “page recommended for you”. But we don’t know if the Tiktok algorithm really takes into account this promotion. (Who will like to do things in accordance with the regulations after all?)

So we decided to find out whether these tags can really help you enter the ” for you”, or whether they are similar to#Follow4Follow spam labels similar to Instagram.

Now we start this experiment:

Assuming: “For You Page” label may not help you enter the for you page

In western United States, Tiktok is very commonAfter all, the for you page is where many Internet celebrities are born. Who don’t want to show your content here?

There are many people who grab the traffic. #Fyp, #Foryou, #Foryoupage, etc. Most creators who like this strategy like to join the ranks of a few people to increase their opportunities.

But if you know how the TIKTOK algorithm works, these tags seem to be unlikely to truly improve you.

You will find that “theme label” is part of the secret of Tiktok’s recommendation. Tiktok uses the theme label to find a fresh video for you “based on what you tend to find”.

Of course, if someone is looking for a video with #Fyp, Tiktok will help them -but most people do not have this interest.

Now we posted some Tiktok videos with no labels at all, and then put them for a week to see how they perform in terms of viewing and participation.

In order to maintain convenient contrast, except the above labels, I did not add any other theme labels that may cause ambiguity. We also wrote subtitles in several examples, but considering that some impacts may have some impacts, we will always modify the subtitles for video marks and non -standard versions.

In terms of time, we posted all the unsigned videos one by one, and then waited for six days to count the results. In the next week, we did the same thing about the labeling videos.

result–

I didn’t get any viewing from the #FYP tag.

This is the complete comparison of our video without label and added #fyp related labels.

So what does this mean?

As usual: Except for trying to make wonderful content, there is no real recipe to become Tiktok stars. Just like you can’t buy your followers or likes, you can’t use a super powerful theme label to deceive the Tiktok algorithm.

Of course, test #fyp is not completely wasteful. The results of this grand experiment helped determine some of the core principles of successful labels.

1. Use the theme label that reflects your content

To enter the ” for you”, you better create excellent and fascinating content according to the steps. These contents have labels that are actually related to your video. This is how Tiktok really understands the content you are creating, and show your post in front of someone who cares.

2. The theme label that people may be searching for

The reality is that no one opened the Tiktok’s “Discovery” page and started to enter “#Fyp” to see what they found. If they really want a random content package, they will only go to the you page itself.

Instead, the search function will be used to find specific words and content. For example, hats and pants, think about how to help Tiktok users use the search word that “a real person” will use your wonderful videos.

Getting a lot of viewing may indicate the popularity of your video to the Tiktok algorithm, making you more likely to appear on someone’s For You page.

3. Mixed use label

Putting all your#tags “eggs” in a label “basket” means that if your strategy is unreasonable, you will fail. If this type of label fails, the#fyp theme labels that are full of as much as possible in your title will not help. As I said, there will be no disadvantages of the #Foryoupage tag, but if you match it with various themes, you may get better results.

As we recommend in the TIKTOK label guide, the wise approach is to combine the popular label with more niche tags to try to attract highly visible and highly directed audiences.

Think about it: For You page is set for personalized settings for the interests and preferences of each user. Make sure you use the theme label to tell the algorithm what your video address is interested in. The more information it has, the more likely it is to provide it to the right person.

Please keep in mind these criteria, you will definitely see your content title on the For You page in the near future.
