Very interesting situation with my video (SEO related question)

Liking YTtalk
I made a video about a feature in city building browser game. After doing all the SEO stuff I was surprised my video showed in 3rd page when searching the main keyword, but two other videos in the same series showed 3rd and 4rth in the results(!). I only shared a link to this first video in the description of two other videos. I tried to experiment with description, title and tags, but I did not succeed to get the video up in the search.

I`ll share detailed information about what I did, os maybe someone with SEO skills could answer me. I`ve spent days watching different SEO related videos and reading about. I had great success with some of my videos with much higher competition, but with this video it did not work at all.

Used right after uploading video with main keyword

Video in the YT search results with main keyword (using CHrome Incognito mode when logged out of any accounts)
My video - 3rd page 3rd-6th place
Two other related videos - 3rd and 4th pace (the only common thing with the first video - exact video name and link in the description)



My questions
1) Why using same SEO strategies this video did not succeed on the search even with such a low competition?
2) Why my two other videos show up higher in the search, even though the only common keyword they have is video name with link to my video in the description?


Yes, this is alot of information, but I wanted to be as specific as possible. I hope someone will give me some hints, where my mystake is, where should I look for some more information. Because this bothers me alot as I know I could get the video up in the first spots, when searching the main keyword.
 
Great Job man! I am talk and shout you out about this in my SEO video

Hmm, maybe my English is too bad to describe the situation with my video properly. Because I don`t consider it a great job that my video is in the 3rd search page when it should be in first spots.
 
Good SEO. Unfortunately I am the same, I use very specific, non - generic tags and titles, share my content when appropriate and engage plenty in the community. Sometimes you just have to recognise that there's so much noise and content out there that, even when you do everything right, it just doesn't go the way you'd hope.

The key is to keep going, to not lose your motivation and hopefully things go up from there.

Thanks for support! I still think I did something wrong, because I managed to get some of my videos on first search pages using same SEO method, even with a huge competition. In this case my video should be din the first spots, but it`s not the case. It`s so frustrating, but it gives a chance to learn and search for answers.
 
So, this happened again. There was a new feature released in the game and I made a video about it. The main keyword had zero competition, so I thought my new video should be in 1st spot, but that was not the case - my video is on the bottom of 2nd page with many unrelated videos in front. And 2 of my other videos for the same game are shown 1st and 2nd for the specific keyword! And the situation is the same - I`ve add a link and name in the previous video`s description to the new video, so that`s the only thing in common.

This is very frustrating as I`m out of ideas, what could be wrong. Will have to spend some day for experiments to find a solution.

I`d still appreciate if someone experienced could point out some ideas what could be wrong.[DOUBLEPOST=1469265469,1469203434][/DOUBLEPOST]So, for everyone, who`s still watching this thread - the first video I was talking about reached 2nd place on the main keyword. I guess Youtube takes time before puting the video where it should be. Another lesson to be learned about SEO - after posting a new video, give it few days to find it`s place in the search.

I had similar situation with another video - at first it was ranked on 4th page, absolute disaster, but after few days it climbed to 1st page 6th place. And it was a decent result as the competition for the main keyword was big.

But I`ve also experienced different story - adter uploading a video and doing massive SEO research it was on the first 10 spots right after publishing. And this happened with the most competitive keywords. Go figure out! :D
 
Jeli jsme s klukama v Brně šalinou a viděl jsem plakát na jednu zajímavou věc. Dlouho jsem hledal něco na odreagování po práci v kanceláři a nakonec mě zlákal Casoola, kde mě nejvíc baví ty různé grafické vychytávky. Zkusil jsem si párkrát slots online a musím říct, že mě ta plynulost fakt dostala. Všechno šlape jak hodinky, takže jsem s výběrem naprosto spokojený a určitě u toho ještě nějakou dobu zůstanu.
