Maybe @Jimmy_J or @BenLeong can answer this. I recently renamed a fair few well-downloaded tracks from my Elements / AJ portfolio and noticed that now they’re turning up at the VERY END of the search results for relevant terms in the title. Why is that? There’s no way they would turn up so low as they were earning fairly well before in more crowded sections.
Is there some kind of strong penalty for renaming? Seems like by trying to improve the relevancy of my titles I’ve just permanently shot myself in the foot with tracks that look like they are now pronounced dead. There’s got to be a better way to handle item updates.
Here’s an example. By searching ‘Celebratory Success’, the EXACT title of a recently-renamed track of mine, you need to wade through 11 pages of tracks, only to find that exact match right at the bottom, along with another similar item of mine, behind a swathe of other tracks that don’t share nearly as many similarities in metadata.
This doesn’t happen on AudioJungle, where the recent title changes have had a positive effect on my rankings. They appear where one would expect, but with Elements, I have apparently made an irreversible fatal mistake.
How is this fair?
For now, if you check back on your items a day after making any changes, you should see them performing as expected in search.
