I ' ve put my own watermark in the bottom corner so legally speaking I own the videos now . <| sep |> If you set a focus keyword it doesn ' t mean that your page will rank in a top position . It means that Yoast will analyze the content on your page and check if your content is optimized or not . Yoast is there to help you do your job but it won ' t do it for you . Probably the No SEO post are not highly competitive and that ' s why they rank in page 1 . I noticed that you ' re logged in with your google account , I would suggest you to do the same experiment with an incognito window and the results will be different . When you ' re logged in , Google knows what you ' ve searched and will display it for you in page 1 but if you ' re not logged in and you ' re using an incognito window then you will see the true position . I ' ve been using Yoast for almost 3 years and I ' ve never setup the focus keyword option and my pagesposts are ranking in page 1 .
