Was my video penalized?

My Youtube video has no any rankings, no views and when I search for its title (e.g.: "How to draw a portrait using charcoal in under 30 minutes") it even does not find my video. For a few days after I uploaded my video, it had some rankings and also when I searched for its whole title, it was ranked #1.

Was my video penalized by Youtube? However, it was not removed - I can still see it in my video manager.

But if you can search for the whole title, then it's probably a case of poor Search Engine Optimization.
What's the title of your video? Does it have proper tag, etc? Did you change any metadata recently?

what's your YT channel name a?
 
That is not my video. I mentioned it just like an example because I prefer not to disclose my video here.

I also tried to change the tags of my video, but it did not help.
 
Sometimes videos get taken out of search, this has happened to me all the time. Just add a period in your description, save changes, take out the period and save it. It should be back up soon.
 
It's always hard to help or see what the problem is when the people asking for help choose to not disclose their video in question.... just sayin'....
 
You weren't penalized-YouTube uses watch time as the primary driving force behind search ranking, so once watch time was established, your tags became useless and your video was ranked mostly on watch time. If you want to see your video higher up in the search, you need to improve watch time.
