Hi guys.

So I've been posting on youtube on different channels since 2016. I have very good knowledge on what gains views and had no issues gaining views over the years until recently (my main channel that averages 15k+ views) had an issue with my adsense. I was removed from adsense because my second channel got suspended. On the second channel, I used the same ID to verify myself that I used on my main channel. After Google finally put my channel back on the adsense account, I noticed my videos (still performing like usual due to subscribers) do not appear on search results in my niche like they used to

I am one of the main channels in my niche. When I search my title in private browsing I do not appear in results. I also noticed that when I start new channels I only get views through youtube shorts and not long form. What do you suggest I do? Is it because I created so many google accounts and youtube channels? Should I use a proxy? Should I buy an aged youtube channel instead?

I would love to hear your thoughts on this because personally I don't know what to do...

Thanks
 
One of my friend having same issue, Now she is using proxy to use the account and getting targeted audience. Also her videos index in search.
First you can try proxy, then do little SEO for your videos.

Your network of accounts might be internally flagged, not a full shadowban, but likely algorithmically downranked.
 
IP-related advice:

Use different browsers + residential proxies to log into separate accounts and avoid linkage.

Regarding purchasing aged channels:

High risk! 90% of pre-owned accounts on the market have hidden violations and may get banned within a month.

What if you just use different firefox profiles with different dynamic ips? proxys suck anyway, no way to know if the IP you are using was compromised before.
 
You're probably shadowbanned. You will need to wait a few more weeks for yt to lift the ban. using a proxy for these account will not change anything. But i'll advise you to get one plus an aged account in the future.
 
Yes, an aged youtube channel will give you the best results. With recent updates, it’s becoming harder for new accounts to get approved.

Dear, sounds like you’ve been grinding for a while, respect for that. The Adsense ID link across suspended accounts might’ve triggered some backend trust issues with YouTube, which could explain the drop in search visibility. Honestly, I wouldn’t jump straight into proxies or aged channels, those can cause more problems if not done right.
Instead, maybe chill on creating new accounts for now, focus on rebuilding trust with your main channel. Try switching up your SEO game, fresh titles, tags, and experiment with new content angles. Shorts are working because YouTube is pushing them hard right now, so ride that wave while slowly reviving your long-form stuff.
Don’t stress, you’ve got the experience. Just needs a bit of a reset.--ZAK--
 
I might be really lost here, but doesn't using a proxy forces you to use another payment account for receiving your money from Adsense after?
Doesn't that mean you'll need to create a whole another persona?
How will you manage this part?
 
Google's AdSense and YouTube systems are tightly integrated. When your second channel is suspended (perhaps due to a policy violation because you used the same ID), Google may flag your primary channel or AdSense account for review. Even after reinstatement, Google often applies "soft penalties" (such as reduced search visibility) to accounts with a history of violations. A Quora post notes that banned channels will not directly ban AdSense or other channels, but repeated violations may trigger more extensive account penalties.
In Google's system, using the same ID across channels will cause them to be linked. If the second channel violates relevant policies (e.g., copyrighted content, spam), Google may reduce the trust of your primary channel, which will affect search rankings.
After AdSense is reinstated, it may take several weeks for trust to be fully restored. A YouTube help article mentions that linking a new AdSense account may take days or even weeks to be approved, and during this time, search visibility may be suppressed.

if youtube flags one of your adsense account, it is safer to use proxies, so as to isolate your other channels, you need to use new adsense and also you need to isolate your google accounts from each other, because youtube can identify it as the same person.
 
It’s likely that Google linked your channels through the shared ID and device or browser fingerprint. Even if your channels follow the rules, once one gets flagged, others tied to the same setup can get affected too, especially when it comes to visibility in search.
If you're planning to manage multiple YouTube channels long term, using an antidetect browser (like multilogin, gologin, or hidemyacc) with clean residential proxies can help keep each channel isolated with its own fingerprint. That setup lowers the risk of one account dragging down the others.
Also worth testing: try uploading from a fresh environment with new IP and system settings, and avoid reusing any flagged details from old accounts.
I'm currently using Brave browser with a proxy is that fine?

No problem, regarding the shadowban, this has been going on for almost 2 years now

Is this based on your own experience? Would love to know..

I appreciate the advice thanks a lot

I was thinking of building a reputation first and then by the time I build a subscriber base I don't care if Youtube somehow shadowban the new channel once i stop using a proxy.. Since i will hopefully get views through feature page

Right ok thanks for the full explanation.. I've been waiting over two years now still not showing up on search results unfortunately

Understood thank you!
 
YouTube doesn't really care if you use a proxy or not; they don't assume the reputation of an IP address. If you need to check for yourself, try registering your YouTube channel at the most spammed IP address in the world. They'll keep it active.
They are no longer reliant on static indicators Instead, they are focused on dynamic behaviour-based detection, which is significantly harder to bypass.

I appreciate you explaining this, can I ask how you know? It's my first time reading this. I've never had issues with Youtube, I've been posting since 2016 but issues only started two years ago
 
A proxy could help keep your YouTube channels looking separate, but you should also focus on content quality to rank better.
 
Geo location is key to reaching your target audience.
Use a proxy with an anti-detect browser to target them better.
This approach makes your marketing/Visibility smarter.
