Youtube SEO Algorithm for low competition niches/ microniches

[mikespagatta]

Hi Guys,
I used to upload my CPA content locking videos in low competition keywords in youtube and they ranked immideatly in the 3 first positions of youtube search even in channels with low subscribers, but for the last week or so, the videos refuse to get indexed in youtube search ,It refuses to give me impressions. I tried channels with more subscribers ... but the problem still presists.

Knowing that my videos are SEO optimised, I even managed to get one of my videos around 70% CTR and 80% retention with microworkers but still it refused to be indexed !!!

What is the problem in your opinion ?? Is it an update or something !???

Microworkers is a disaster when it comes to organic reach on YT
You can only use it to fake engagement

What do you do? I mean you just provide your video link to micro workers or do you tell them to go to youtube and search for the keyword?
Maybe Youtube found it.

Youtube finds out everything these days. So, you can not get away with your strategy every time.

My point is that youtube is refusing to index my videos, it used to do and should do even without using these SEO hacks

the problem has nothing to do with microworkers, I used to rank my video without them

The question here is:
did you know the number of monthly searches in YOUTUBE of keyword "X" ?
if so, how do you get that information?

In 2019, I made a keyword research for low competition niches, get top 10 in Google Results immediately. I've tried to do the same in YouTube! so I generate 150 videos.

The result was 90% of videos under 1K views, 10% between 1K and 10K, more than 1K subscribers. Now the channel has 50K subscribers and 5M views.

Last month I've tried the same strategy in YouTube!, doesn't work anymore. All videos under 100 views.

I uploaded 3 shorts and get 1K, 10K and 100K views.

Time to change strategy for my channel.

I uploaded 3 shorts and get 1K, 10K and 100K views.

This seems YT is now prioritizing shorts over normal format videos...?

This shouldn't be a surprise.

They are no longer being indexed in YouTube searches because this kind of content that you are posting violates YouTube's content guidelines.

You can play around with SEO or play around with keyword filtering.

But at the end of the day, you're playing a cat-and-mouse game.

It's also a numbers game.

It's only a matter of time until Google bans and deletes your content.

The only way to fight back against this, of course, is to create even more and hope that enough squeeze through for a long enough period of time for you to get the traffic that you are looking for and generate enough money to repeat the process again.

Unless you have this automated, it's going to be an uphill fight.

You might want to consider using a different method.
