    Well did google n youtube change search Algo or rankings?

    i have aroudn 100 videos up on youtube, and used 2 receive cnostant traffic since 2 months, but all of a sudden , i get 85% lesser traffic since 4~5 days.
    all my videos are still alive and there are no new videos up for competition.

    does anyone know the exact reason for the sudden loss of traffic from youtube?
    (one of the reasons i can think is the links in description being unclickable without expanding it, but that cannot be it all)

    I am not able to figure out WHY the traffic has reduced. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? :confused:

    Are you talking about searches made directly through Youtube or those made from Google? Either way, the remedy is usually always more backlinks :). If it's internal it probably has to do with how many people like your video and view it, and of course the title.

    If your videos have basically the same content than you probably need to refresh them. YouTube/Google's new voice recognition technology (it is the cc button - stands for closed captions) has the ability to know what you are saying in your videos. If you are just uploading the same video with different tags, title and description they can detect it.

    That is why videos where there are people speaking in them are now starting to rank higher and videos that have just music with text on the screen are ranking lower. Google is only going to get smarter everyone.

    I hope this helps.

    That also means that you are getting into tougher competition on your videos in youtube.

    Definitely go with refreshing your contents and descriptions of the videos, it is essential if their algo has changed or you are getting in more competitors..

    There was a major algorithm change mid May... tons of issues across all major searches. Going to take lots of research to figure out the new changes
