ALL YouTube Video Ranking DROPPED?!

Guys, I woke up to see ALL my YouTube ranking Dropped BIG TIME on Google! (they were all on high Page 1 ranking) The videos are still ranking well on YouTube, but not on Google anymore. Anyone experiencing the same? How to fix this?

Same thing happened to me this morning. Seems like -50 penalty, most of the vids got hit, no idea what to make out of it.

It's probably part of the wider algorithm changes that they have been making for about a week now. If you're still on page 2-5, keep going is my advice.

It's definitely an algorithm penalty of some kind.

I can't confirm this. Checked 4 of my videos and they still rank. Checked some niches that I want to target with new videos and the same ones still rank. And I'm not doing anything special, tick all engines in SER and blast away, even quite aggressively with the anchor text ratio.

Might be the niche you are in that got hit?

@johnmiller, after you tick all engines, how many targeted urls do you import?

@nargil, thanks for the info.

hey @Nargil , do you see youtube videos in your niche , or every video is down ?

Nargil

Some are up, some or down.
