You Tube Changes

I have been a little biffed at You Tube for the past 2 weeks now. They either changed something pretty big in rating videos for there search engine or they have slapped me with some kind of penalty.

My video views have been down over a thousand a day from before this unknown event. I have looked around the web for any answers and found nothing that might be current or possible given my clips and history.

The drag is, over time we all start to put too much into these numbers because they are real bragging rights. I know I have many clips of my music on other peoples pages - my songs and live stuff that doesn't figure in, but now I have views artificially dropped, and all I can figure is GOOGLE must think they are not legitimate views. I have a dozen sites with clips posted and it appears the views from at least one of these sites is not being counted.

I am not gonna complain for long. Just saying I am going thru withdrawal watching the climb to 2 million you tube views slow down a bunch, all on 1 strange day 2 weeks ago. Hoped it was temporary but it looks like it is regular now.....
