Youtube deleting my keywords?

I recently tried to redo all the keywords for the youtube videos I have uploaded. For some reason, whenever I add new keywords and save it... Youtube actually deletes one keyword from what I previously had!

Does anyone know what the hell is going on here? :confused:

I'm lost...

    At least you didn't just have one of your most important websites removed from the first page of Google. I have no idea why. It had a PR of 6 and had been there for 8 years. We hadn't done anything different. Talk about "sucks!" And the weird thing is, the sub pages are still showing. Makes no sense to me.

    (Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread.)

    I have heard of this happening with irrelevant keywords on certain videos. I have yet to have this happen to me and not sure if anyone is manually doing this. The reason I say that is that every minute 13 hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube from all over the world and I doubt there is much human vetting of videos.

    Maybe try a test with another video using the same keyword and see if it is a relevancy issue and maybe the sign of some automated process.

    All the best,

      It's definitely not manual. It happens instantly. When I save the keywords & the page refreshes, it happens.

      It's kind of funny (and sad) because I had a video with like 10 keywords, then 9, then 8, then 7, and now its finally down to one damn keyword lol.

      It's also not a relevancy issue. The keywords were definitely relevant.

      I also thought it might be a copyright issue, because some of the keywords were "Led Zeppelin" and "When The Levee Breaks", but when I tried to add some other generic words, like "drums", it would not let me add them...

      :confused:
