Implementation of YouTube SEO strategies
Let me have a briefly introduction of what is my YouTube video problem in this section before I proceed to explain my YouTube ranking issue.
The YouTube video that has been suffering from unstable and low ranking problem is named with "How to Fix Low Value Content Issue in Google AdSense". I have put the video inside the link at the title and you may watch it by clicking the following video.
Basically this video is a tutorial of these topics, which are:

You may not know what is Low Value Content issue as this is a specific issue for a little portion of the population. But you should know what is "Google AdSense" that I have been mentioned few times from the beginning.
Google AdSense is a program run by Google through which website publishers in the Google Network of content sites serve text, images, video, or interactive media advertisements that are targeted to the site content and audience. These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google. (Extracted from WikiPedia)
So what does it means? The advertisement you can see on my website, 5 seconds ads or skippable in-stream ads you might watch on YouTube are all belongs to Google AdSense. AdSense Publisher like website owner, YouTuber and me can earn some money by renting out some spaces on our site (Website, Apps, YouTube video) to show ads served by Google in exchange of earnings.
Back to the main topic, I created a tutorial video to share my thoughts about Low Value content in last month after weeks of research and planning. This Low Value Content YouTube video was one of few videos that performed well on my YouTube channel, and I also intended to let this YouTube video become another #1 Ranking video on YouTube for the keyword "Low Value Content".
I used bunch of YouTube Search Engine Optimization Strategies that I have learned from other websites and YouTubers. Most of these YouTube SEO strategies I used were recorded in my Blogger post too.

The YouTube SEO practices I have been implementing on my Low Value Content YouTube video are:
- Upload Closed Captions on YouTube video (Not auto-translate)
- Maximize the use of Description Box
- Keywords Research for SEO
- YouTube video Tags choosing
- Full Translation to other languages (Mostly Simplified Chinese + Traditional Chinese)
I even wrote few posts related to Google AdSense low value content across my different Blogger websites using different language.
For example, this is the performance of my website & YouTube video ranking on Google when I search for keyword "Low Value Content" in English.
In the second image above, you can see my Low Value Content YouTube video is rank as 1st Video on Google Search Results when I search for keyword "Low Value Content".
In addition, my website post about Low Value Content is rank at 9th place on google search results, according to the third image. Even a BlogSpot domain can rank that higher on a most basic keyword "Low Value Content", this is why as long as your content is long and high quality enough, Google will always rank your website at first few place with the assistance of few website Search Engine Optimization strategies.
Now I will show you my content and YouTube video ranking status on Google by searching the keyword in Chinese/Mandarin.
My Low Value Content post in Chinese is rank at 2nd place under jaxxsblog.blogspot.com when I search for "低價值内容" in Traditional Chinese, same meaning to "Low Value Content" in English.
When I switch to another keyword "è°·æŒAdSense 低價值内容", a.k.a. "Google AdSense Low Value Content", my blog post is shown as a featured snippets on Google.
My Low Value Content YouTube video is also rank at #1 when I search for the same keyword on Google's Video search result.
Based on the images I captured above, it is clear that my website content & YouTube video rank so well on Google when I search for the main keyword "低價值内容" or "Low Value Content" in Mandarin. The top ranking is because of too less people writing the same content like me about Low Value Content.
When I search for keyword "low value content AdSense fix" on Google based on the recommendation keyword given by them, my YouTube video will be showing as a featured snippet with a part of closed captions extracted under my Low Value Content video.
Thanks for the Closed Captions I uploaded to my Low Value Content YouTube video, it is not only a YouTube SEO practices to let YouTube algorithm to understand what my YouTube video is about, but it is also a website SEO strategies for them to show rank my YouTube at #1 in Google Search results. Therefore, if you want to rank your video at #1 on both YouTube and Google, try to upload your own Closed Captions file on your YouTube video as an effective YouTube SEO strategy.
Definitely you can tell my Blog posts and YouTube tutorial video about Low Value Content is ranking at first page on Google.
But, what if I said the ranking on Google is totally different compare to my video ranking in YouTube? Will it be a shock to you?
I will show you what I mean right now.

When the time pass by day by day, I found this Low Value Content Tutorial video was not ranking well anymore and the ranking of this video on some main keywords were dropping fast too.
