YouTube Video description problem

by TwistedRoo
6 replies
Put up my first YouTube video a couple of days ago. Have thrown some views and backlinks at it and all was well. But today I look it up in Google search, and the description has some "not so good words under the video", certainly not the description I put in Youtube.

So I think my YT account has been hacked and go to change the description and my password. But in YT the description is fine. The video is only hosted on YT and not on a site.

Anyone had this happen, got any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Mike.

      I think it happens every now and then, not just with Youtube.

      I've had suspicious looking emails from personal friends ... and I've always verified that it's their accounts that's been hacked.

      It'll be a good idea to update your passwords every once in a while.

        Hi. As I said it is a new channel and my first video. I thought my channel had been hacked, but the details in there are fine. It's just in the google search description.

      Check to see if the link matches your youtube link.
      Hi.

      Yep 1st thing I did. That's why I'm finding it hard to come up with a solution. If my account had been hacked it would be easy enough to rectify.

    24 hours ago all the "crap" under the video description has disappeared. As mentioned it was only showing in google, not in YT. Video hit #2 video in google video search and top of 2nd page on everything search. Should be on page 1 soon. So no idea how or what happened, but all is well.
