Well first off, if you want good results you shouldn't be bias when searching. Try using multiple search engines and maybe even going to your local library or health store (Even Walmart has good videos for this!).
I am also going to tell you that just doing a few exercises ever so often for a short time will NOT enhance your backside. You have to be relentless and work at it.
Now beware, I'm about to go into great searching detail.
1. Squats
They are great for your bum of course but also for flexibility, strength and if you do it with a barbell over the shoulder for the upper body too.
An all body workout like a squat also engages more muscle groups which releases more growth hormones which are essential for building muscle and also for losing weight if you are eating the right diet.
2. Gluteus Kickback
This is where you get on your hands and knees with your head slightly raised and you lift each leg in turn backward raising your foot above your head until your upper leg is horizontal with your torso. The trick is to really SQUEEZE with your buttock that is attached to the raised let on the way up and down. Do it slow, the idea is to hold it there for a moment before coming down so you get a good quality kickback not a fast elastic snap which does nothing for the muscles.
3. Step Ups
Simple concept, simple exercise you can do anywhere you have a slightly raised platform. Step up onto this platform using just your leg and bum muscle to propel your body upwards to stand on the step.
Easy if the step is low but when you raise that steps height to above the knee and later up as high as you can reach with your foot the more weight your leg and butt need to lift. Good for your core muscles too to keep yourself from flopping all over the place as you step.
4. Standing Butt Squeeze Exercise
This is the easiest of all of them but is great to do if you work in an office or somewhere like it. Take a break and stand up straight with your feet forward and really SQUEEZE those buttock cheeks hard for about 2 seconds then release. To this again and again for a minute or so when you need and without any paraphernalia you can exercise the bum and keep firming it up.
5. Leg Abduction Exercise
This is done by standing with your feet about hip width apart and feet facing forward. Raise one leg outwards to the side while still facing your foot forward. Raise it as high as you can while balancing, your torso may lean the other way a bit which is ok just do not make it too much. Hold it for a few seconds and squeeze your buttocks as you do this (see a theme?)). Repeat several times times for each leg.
6. Single-leg pelvic lifts
Lie on the ground with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor and your arms at your sides, hands flat on the floor.
Cross your left leg over the right so that the ankle rests just above the knee.
Slowly lift your pelvis up towards the ceiling until your back is straight, but not arched upward, clenching your butt while doing so.
Hold for a few seconds, slowly lower your torso back to the ground, swap legs and repeat.
7. Lunges
From a standing position step forward with one leg while bending the knees and lowering the back knee towards the floor. Keep your torso straight, your abs in, your front heel on the ground and the knee directly over the foot.
Push up through the front heel to a standing position, but don’t lock your knees at the top of the movement. Hold a dumbbell in each hand to increase the intensity.
Repeat.

From my own point of view, I recommend bike riding. This will enhance your backside AND your legs.
