I even tried exact match in the search bar like, "keywords" and still nothing showed.

Channel is NOT new but hasn't had any videos on it. Just two videos one I uploaded 4 days ago (showed up in search results then disappeared a day later) and other video uploaded two days ago didn't show in search results till now.

For the very first video I bought like 100 video views but with slow drip feed and even got 50 from them in like 4 days now. Could this still be the problem?

I don't know what's going on.

Yes but that was yesterday and for just one video of the two. Here the two videos aren't showing up.

I've noticed something similar too. I don't use any panels. Whenever i make changes to the title, the videos won't show up. I think it's intended, give it sometime and track.

There is keyword difficulty in YouTube like any other search engine. Your videos won't show up unless they have easy keywords or are extremely popular.


OP asked a question. How did it help you?

I scrolled all over to the end, not just the top 5 results or something. And the keywords aren't competitive either, according to Vidlq it has a green score.

Youtube algorithm is a mystery as they don't share much info. I managed to rank my videos using VidIQ last year. Optimization & clickbait titles helped me rank better. My rankings dropped when I started losing traffic. So, I guess traffic is important to rank. The new videos usually get a boost and you should drive as much traffic as you can within that window to rank better.

So in your opinion I shouldn't be worried that my channel got shadowbanned or something?

Yes, it's normal for Youtube. They are flooded with a ton of content so they choose what's popular or trending. You should focus on getting more traffic one way or another.
 
For some time I optimized the video for Google search and there are several observations.

1. For different videos, different times are required to get into search results. I uploaded hundreds of videos a day for low-competitive requests and some videos received views and were in the index 30m after uploading, and some after a week or a month. I recommend evaluating the situation with a period of a week or a month halfway through the load.

2. Behavioral experiences can help rank videos. By posting a link to a video on other social networks and receiving views immediately after uploading, I noticed that this can help to occupy search results both in Google and in YouTube search. I suspect that after uploading YouTube evaluates the parameters of the video (by title, description, tags) and understands what it is about.

If you give the initial traffic to it, YouTube will be able to evaluate the user experience and understand how well you respond to the request (names, descriptions, etc.). You can get to high positions faster if your indicators are good.

If your video isn't showing up in results for you/incognito, or you searching for it in the browser for your phone, you've probably been shadowbanned.

if you are not associated with any blackhat activity in the past that can be traced back to this new channel of yours, then there is nothing to worry.

but its normal for this to happen. there are some channels if i search by exact name it does not even show up.
those channels are not even shadowbanned.
youtube sometimes does not show in results all the channels in the world with similar names.

although your channel might be old, you also started video uploading 4 days ago.
keep uploading and build some authority to the channel and get some traffic.
then you will slowly start showing up in the search results, atleast by the exact title of your video.

generally it will take 1 to 2 weeks for a fresh channel with videos to come out of the spam security block measure that yotuube takes against freshly made channels.

after 1 to 2 weeks of activity you can start appearing in search and recommendations
 
Try making a fresh account or checking in incognito mode. And check if you're getting impressions on your video. Otherwise you're likely shadowbanned.
