How to Downgrade a Youtube Video

Hi There,
I was making great money with my product until someone made a scam review.
Now I am doing very badly. Can anyone help in getting it downgraded and out of the first page, or alternatively removed altogether?

    Have you tried to contact the video owner?

    Perhaps you could work on getting your video to outrank it. Also, maybe posting a video response to his video.

    Why was it reviewed as a scam in the first place?

    Create a ton of content and bury the bad result(s)! Easier said that done--but doable.

    Create plenty of content around the keyword(s) for which you are getting slammed. Post to your own site or blog first, then to other applicable sites. Create text -and- video for each keyword and post appropriately. Video can still work wonders sometimes. Images are worth a try.

    Turn your written content into PDFs and put them on document sharing sites. It's amazing how many people still don't do this. If you have a related FAcebook or other social media account, post about it.

    These are broad strokes, but they're a great place to start.

    A link to the review or the product would help.

    If the product is great, share it and promote it with some free offers to some bloggers, maybe a free account to test it, and make it have good reviews back.

    Then answer to the people who share the bad reviews showing them different data.

    You must trust in your product and accept the risk to have to improve it. Bad reviews sometimes is the best way to create good marketing.

    It was probably an affiliate targeting "product scam" LOL

    Can you reply or refute the video?

    I have seen bad reviews/videos and the product creator comes to the comments and defends or clarifies some of the negative points.

    It often turns into a good discussion and/or shows the product creator is not afraid to stand behind his product.

    You see that in threads here on the forum too.

    You can outrank it with a ton of your own videos that is the best way. Or you can also buy a ton of video dislikes, that may help as well. Or blast it with fake views to get it take down...sort of evil, but it can work.

    If you really want to take this down, you probably need to send some dislikes for this video + gather some people who would "flag" it. As you can imagine, it's not ethical at all, but if it's really a "scam video" then it's up to you.

    Fiverr will be your friend.

    That's right people let's help out a possible scammer! The reason I immediately asked for a link was to determine for myself if I think it's a scam because I'm not up to offering any help that keeps a scammer in business.

    Lets see, he has been a member for almost 4 years and this is his first post. This is a community that is suppose to help out other members, he has a good track record doesn't he and he hasn't even showed up again to thank you guys for the help, everything about the op screams of greed.

      Good point!

      and instead of instantly trying to downgrade the YouTube video he should see what the underlying issue is. Maybe contact the person first to see if there's something that he can fix and help solve the issue that the buyer had.

      Solve the issue that the buyer had and he may delete the video on his own or even create a new "apology" video where he explains how the product creater contacted him personally and corrected the issue, which would probably spark more sales.

      You have to look at things in a business perspective, actually help people, and be accountable for your actions.

    Yep, gotta agree - sort out the problem rather than bury it. If that doesn't work, then a video response. If the product is that good, then one bad review shouldn't kill it.
