Question is super broad, mate. You probably won't get a good answer unless you elaborate
I don't really understand. Yes, I have uploaded 10-15 more videos that didn't rank well, but why do you say that my channel will never be successful again?
I think he means the so called 'shadowban'. But this thing isn't proved and isn't official, so we can just guess about...
My competition also seems to have difficulties in ranking their videos.
please explain, those videos didn't rank at all (no position given while testing on VidIQ or tubebuddy) or some kw ranked but for very low positions?
Before when I was uploading a video I was getting 1-2k views in 48h and VidiQ was reporting that I rank for 3-10 keywords in top 1-20 (depending on the keyword). After 48h my ranking usually dropped but I was getting the initial boost needed to keep the video alive. Now I barely get 500 views in 48h and acording to VidiQ report I rank for 1-2 keywords in top 10-20.
the recent updates on youtube (in the past 4 months) did changed the ranking algorithm, i don't know what niche you are working on, but if it's a competitive niche, i suggest you try to stream your video live (same video in a loop, with the SAME description, tags, titles that are SEO optimised), i see many livestreams every day and they manage to boost positions in ranking very well (for the time the video is live!)
I think you're right. My old videos are starting to rank really well. The funny thing is my videos ranking the best are ones that had very cheap SMM panel views back when they worked really well. Lmao...
So yesterday night I had a roughly 50% drop in views on my 3 channels at the same time. 3 channels 3 different niches all dropped at the same time. I manage all these channels from 1 IP. I will wait another month and if I will not recover from this penalty I will quit working with YouTube .
Same problem here
dont know what to do.
You just gotta use the methods that are working today. It's all about watch time and engagement now.
