Hi guys,
I've been ranking affiliate videos for some time now and this never happened before.
I'm doing a Reputation Management project for a client and I created a video for him to rank. Didn't have problems ranking his website (ranking 6th after a week). But I'm having problems with this video.
When I first uploaded it, it came up 1st on the second page of Google and then started falling. Yesterday I couldn't find it at all on Google and today it's on the 4th page.
The video has an optimized Title (contains keyword and is eye catching) + Description (repeated keyword a few times + have relevant authority links).
Only thing I did differently with this video (from my other high ranking affiliate videos) is that I linked it to the website via the description and didn't write 400-500 words of content (only 200 words).
Should I try to get the link to the website out of the description as they are both competing for the same keyword to rank, so maybe Google decided to drop they Youtube video in favour for the website. Also, I was thinking of adding more text in the description, up to 400-500 words as with my high ranking affiliate videos.
Additionally, I will add backlinks and social signals, but I want to be sure that the rest is in place first.
Looking forward to some suggestions/ ideas.
Thank you!
