I ask because someone just reported the video that I uploaded (he said so in the comments), but I'm not sure if the report will taken seriously. In other words, I'm not sure if my video even violates the guidelines. But I am planning to start a link building campaign to that video to rank it high in Google, hence why I ask how long it takes for a reported video to be evaluated by Google. Because I don't like to start link building now only for the video to be removed a couple of days later. Does anyone know how long it usually takes? Youtube's Evaluation of a a Reported Video?
I don't think why Google will evaluate your video if you have followed YouTube guidelines, and YouTube won't delete your video right away just because someone reported it. There is proper procedure for doing so, research little on YouTube terms & policy and relax. Hope this helps.
