please help very intriguing thing (youtube related)

dear fellow respected and honourable bhw members :

I had a video on youtube after doing some bot views it came on number 1 but after 2 days it is nowhere to be seen. Its not deleted because it still shows for other keywords but not for the ones I want . Its still there

Now is the most intriguing thing ..............

Today I saw a video on the first page with EXACTLY same title as mine . It cant be a coincidence because my title was about 8-9 words and it the new vid has same word to word title as mine. Is it possible that the other guy did something to derank my video ?How can i get back to the number 1 spot like before?

Regards

Does the other video have more views/ratings/comments/favorites than yours? If so, that's how you lost. Get your views and comments back up there, and you should be back on top. There are several posters here that offer it as a service. I've used El-Plaga for it in the past (check the freelance section) and had good luck.

also, newer videos seem to do well. the recent viral hit "bike hero" got dethroned off that particular search term by freddie's spin off despite getting more views, comments, ratings and having that exact name. just when i think i have YT's search down, it always confounds me.

Youtube new policy. If they catch your video being weirdly high ranked, they'll bump it down very low.

someone stole your video and made a campaign on it. Obviously, he's better than you, so start researching more about youtube and get back to him

its easy to down grade someone vids just hit the thumds down and report it serveral times from different accounts. Its happened to me

Yes! flag that video with different accounts and IPs, also use tubeincreaser or tube massacre (both available here) to boost your view, comments etc. also submit your video social bookmarking sites, that helps your video to get search engines as well
