algorithm

Hey everybody, just looking for a little piece of advice. I started a gaming channel a few months ago. Had pretty decent views depending on the topic, from 5 to a few hundred. Then I posted a clip of the johnny depp trial. This got 400,000 views and at first I was over the moon, I put the end...

NEVER. NEVER. NEVER Delete your videos. I just got a video that I posted 2 years ago get picked up by the algorithm and gain 500.000 views in 1 week, and it seems like it's still growing. I didn't make a lot of money because the video was very short, but I gained a good chunk of subscribers, and...

For the past 2.75 years, I've been growing my channel primarily off "search". 45.7% of my traffic is from YouTube Search with 22.4% being external, dominated by Google Search. Only 18.7% of my traffic comes from "suggested". As much as I enjoy making videos related to key search terms, I...

This youtuber called Cheetahh: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiaKcUhbLcK3Y4pxljuyuEg is growing really quickly. I want to see why he is so i can use his steps to make my channel better. However, I checked through Tubebuddy, no has NO TAGS on his vids, no hashtags, and barely has any keywords...

Hi everyone My name is Denis and I've have a YouTube channel with different topics like. "metal detecting, diving, caving, urban exploring, climbing, extreme activities". And I think I've made a mistake by not focusing on one topic. Each week I'm posting different video from the category's...

Is anyone aware of how exactly the YouTube algorithm works and what can be done to improve upon it? I have read that views are less important and it is more about watch time. Well my videos tend to get 1-2 minutes of watch time on average. Even lately with posting vids that are 10-15 minutes or...

Lately (past couple of months) I've noticed youtube has been reccomending to me videos that are from years and years ago. I have not been dissapointed with any they have chosen so they must have excellent click through watchtime rates. I know im not the only one too because the classic "youtube...

My views have been going down all year. Maybe down 90%. Feels like youtube is killing my channel. Was planning on doing more creative content but not sure if thats what youtube wants anymore with all these COPPA issues. Can't tell if its my channel or just youtube making some big changes for...

I have seen a trend on some very large channels (1million+ subs) where there have hundred of millions of views removed. When I say large I mean 200-300 million views. I have seen these type of stats on SocialBlade. My question is are some of these large channels buying millions of views and...

MY OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON CONTENT ROBOTS! !!!INSANE!!! Most content sharing platforms have changed their algorithms to treat content creators like TV shows. This means that in order for them not to die off, they have to make a very specific type of content or else people would stop watching thus...

Hi all, I remember about a year ago(?) that YouTube had been caught automatically unsubscribing people from channels (despite denying this). Recently a friend told me that when they checked my channel they were unsubscribed despite subscribing not long ago (though maybe they told me this...

Hello everyone, First of, I would like to thank everyone here for all the tips and strategy that have been shared with me. I can honestly say that where I am now is due to a lot of hard work and the help of fellow youtubers on here. So here is what happened, one of my videos were suddenly...

Hey guys, Wondering if any of you have noticed your newer videos getting a significant bump of authority when you release them? Me and a friend of mine have both had our videos in the past few days go straight to the top of searches without any extra SEO effort going in. It's awesome, don't...

Something that many new creators face, is the realisation that their earnings will jump and drop at various times of the year for reasons completely separate to their content and views. This guide is to list all the main reasons that you may see jumps and drops in your earnings, so you may...

Hello every, I make pretty comprehensive comedy sketches. They require A LOT of work because I am a one man team, and I plan to keep it that way going forward. Although I can produce a good 2 minute sketch in 1.5-2 weeks, and a very short sketch in a few days, I find my cadence is about 2-4...

Hello, Title says it all. I am understanding how the YouTube algorithm works with watch time been an important factor but I've heard from people that Livestreams are completely different algorithm and I can't seem to find anywhere to explain it. Does anyone know?

Hello there, this is among my first posts on the site and I would like a little info from somebody who knows a little better than I do about the youtube algorithms and how they can be fully exploited for greater exposure. I will structure this post in a series of questions, many of which have...

Hello everyone, Do animations still get less favored and less recommended by the algorithm even if the watch time and upload frequency are in check? Say you're making 10 - 12 minute animations and upload 2 times a week? What is your experience? Really curious about this one...

As I was warned views have dropped dramatically after not uploading consistently. One video has 10k views and recent are barely 20.. did algo get angry with me? I've been learning new techniques rather than uploading.. not a good idea. Can I get make it up uploading more and get back on the...

Hello there YTTalk! I am Tuurngait! So I hear a lot of smaller YouTubers talk about how YouTube is "s**t" because their videos get hardly any views. So most of the time when I see a small YouTuber complaining about this, I check out their videos and I see content I'm not really impressed with...

I've just face to this issue this morning , the views suddenly dropped from 600 per hour to 15 ~ 19 per hour , some said its the youtube algorithm , but will the views go up again ? Or it'll just stay that way ? :( Anybody can solve this with me ? Thanks ! I've never change any of the...

Hey guys, First 4-5 weeks have been awesome with views over 2500 daily, over 4000 on weekends. Later something changed. Entire week steady traffic of 2500 views over 48h, with spike to 3300; next week in dropped to 1800 with spike to 2500, now it dropped to 1300 every 48h. If it continues, I...

Hey everyone, I've done a few searches regarding "gaming the YT algorithm" and have found a scattering of techniques or methods but I was wondering if anyone has some solid strategies to maximize a channels exposure. I hope I'm not repeating a previous thread (I didn't see one) but if so could...

I have good videos, I have good thumbnails, I have good tags, yet I can't seem to GROW. I feel like I keep hitting barriers that I can't surpass. I know this happens to a lot of YouTubers and I don't understand why. YouTube's algorithm is rigged for their benefit I feel, always putting the...

I listened to Tim Schmoyer's podcast with Matt Geiler recently where they discussed the algorithm. I'm wondering if you guys believe it? I feel like I'm being affected by it. At least one part they discussed where poorly performing videos affect the ones that come after. It certainly makes sense...

I didn't go to Vidcon this year, but my MCN has recently notified me about changes to the YouTube algorithm. They didn't tell me how it was changed exactly so I was curious and looked up this most recent article (end of June 2016) I can't post URL's, but the article is from Tubefilter's...

Hi. I was on youtube since the early days, i still use the same account since 2006 or so. I was mostly just watching videos, but i've also been uploading some videos from time to time, some of them even got quite a lot of views. However i haven't been uploading anything for years (though i was...
