Google Likes Youtube Spam

[billybw]

I keep seeing more and more worthless spammy Youtube videos showing up on the first page of my Google searches. For some reason, there are always two of them together, often in the sixth and seventh positions. It appears that Google wants to get as many Youtube videos near the top of the SERPs as it can, regardless of whether they have any value or relevance. If they don't stop, eventually this is going to destroy their credibility.

Yep,I have also seen many youtube videos ranking very high.

That is a bit weird becaus I usually see 2 off them ranking in the 2nd and 3rrd positions.

Yeah me too i see a lot of (Junk) Videos appearing on first and second results .

Google Loves video very much and give more importance to video and its content.

Google should show video results only when you're searching for videos and you're keyword searched contain video - or maybe just use the dedicated video section

I think this is because there is always a lot of content in the comments of the youtube videos and also page ranks of each video is always more than 2 or 3 because people share these videos on their sites. May be this is the reason.

I think YouTube should be closed. People waste too much time watching stupid videos online
Many webmasters and spammers started to do marketing on YouTube that's why things are getting out of control quickly.
I'm sure the mods delete thousands of fake accounts and bogus videos every day. Obviously it's not enough.

They don't delete anything unless they are forced to do so.

There are tens of thousands or more videos uploaded everyday, it's impossible to view them all and moderate them.

The ones that rank in google are the ones that have some backlinks which boosts their rankings. It's just like any site, enough links and a proper keyword, and it will rank well

If Google doen't know what's on the video, how does it know how to rank it?
Somebody could make a porn video and name it "Humpty Dumpty". Then when some seven-year-old kid searches for "Humpty Dumpty", a porn video will show up on the first page of the SERPs.

Yeah, It is possible for a porn youtube video to rank number 1 in a keyword "humpty dumpty", especially if it is well-optimized. Great position of keyword with great anchor text may be the reason behind these boost in rankings. I think the big g must take actions before it became as a disaster.
