Have Google tweaked the algo for video results

Just curious if anyone else is seeing any changes to their video rankings at the moment.

I have over a dozen videos for small biz all on separate youtube accounts, no linking between them which were all on page 1-2 of google until this past week. They are slowly disappearing form google but are still ranking well on youtube.

Just wondered if any changes to the algorithm had occurred with regards to video that anyone was aware of.

    Rankings are never static so if you don't maintain then they can tend to slip, that is unless your the Zen Master! :p

      Something strange is definitely going on with the video's on my channel that I have tried to rank this month.

      I looked at a few client's search results. No change. But I am monthly adding links, video responses (soon to be gone), comments on related high Pagerank videos, and links to the video itself from outside Youtube. So the positions are pretty solid.

      Maybe from inactivity? Maybe the incoming links are discounted? No idea.

    Maintenance if the key to succeeding in ensuring a YouTube video is ranked. Don't and you shouldn't rely on the video staying in the same placement for ever.

    My self hosted videos are still ranked in Google SERPs, I don't rank Youtube in Google so not sure about that one.

        I checked that keyword (seo services) & I'm getting 2 Youtube videos that are local to my ISP (City/State/US).

        I've never noticed Youtube videos showing local results in Google SERPs, without even searching for a local keyword (ex: seo services).

        Google's really pushing local...
