.. or leave a valid comment and below this comment iframe (1x1 pixels) a site with your video embedded - to avoid deletion of your comment - makes me wonder if there's any way to disable the sound of the video ... Anyway - it's hard to imagine that such video will stay up on a fanpage for long enough. I mean .. you're probably perfectly fine as long as you're the only one 'utilizing' a certain profile, but as soon as other marketers come along and the page will have 3 or 4 embedded videos, all on autoplay, the deletion is probably imminent. And even though I haven't used Myspace a lot myself, I'm pretty sure that this is against their TOS and will lead to getting your account banned after a few reports so I suggest anyone who is going to use this method to be very careful and use disposable accounts.
Either that or you can set up iMacros to post it for you on that page once per day. Then, you won't have to worry about anything, completely hands-free.
Update: I am now using this ability for band promotional advertisement and YouTube view boost. It still works, and it will continue to work.
Hello Razorloq, Do you run into problems with getting deleted for spamming? Or is this practice considered to be acceptable by the bands? It seems to get you a ton of views and that will move up your video's ranking Cheers
wow, genious! haha I have never thought of that. I tried a bot once but they don't work well. The youtube videos freeze at 300 views every time. I'm going to try this method out now! thanks!
Just finished a day of adding bands and only posted about 5 comments on peoples pages. Uploaded the video yesterday - now has 323 views! Amazing! I am still a little worried that my account will get banned, I can't imagine artist's being happy that their music is overloaded with sounds from video's playing in the background - you are sure to get reported sooner than later. The best method I would say is to make several accounts and try from them instead of jeopardizing your main account. Great idea though, thanks again!! For those of you who "can't find" html active accounts. Just do a wide search under bands and go through the profiles. I look for bands under the unsigned section as they are less likely to block html. They are pretty easy to find - probably 1 in 3 have html enabled.
Good for you, tjsocr22! Glad to see that it is clearly working for people. I'm working on integrating this method as an addition to a YouTube ebook I'll be releasing in the BST sometime in the near future. Keep an eye out for it!
You can also buy CPV traffic. You'll get traffic direct to your site. If you target high traffic sites, you can get a lot of traffic fairly fast and cheap.
The only problem you're facing with buying traffic to increase Youtube views is getting banned fairly quickly. The point is that Youtube records how long your video is being watched for. The way bought traffic works is either: a) the traffic gets paid to look at your site for XX seconds (and if youtube sees that 9,880 for the 10,000 hits your video has are almost EXACTLY XX seconds then labeling you as a spammer is pretty easy) b) the traffic is redirected from a dropped domain, meaning that the majority of your 'visitors' won't stay on your site for longer than a few seconds. This, most probably, won't get you banned or flagged (as it simply implies that your video is rubbish but the headline is good) unless you buy a MASSIVE amount of traffic and don't supplement it with any real traffic but it's been proven that the time a video is watched for in average does effect the popularity and your rankings. Then we can, of course, publish 8-second videos
I tried out this method and it worked great. I expect I will continue this method for a while to drive traffic to my sites!
We had Nike advertise with us and they were looking to get 100,000 hits as fast as possible. We targeted all the sports and basketball sites because they had some new shoe coming out. It seemed to work for them. Not all the hits got recorded but 80% did.
