    Anybody seen YouTube most viewed vids recently? They're all filled with spammy spam spam. After little investigation, I discovered that it's a clickbank affiliate "reloaded" that's the perp (today).

    How to these people do this? Do they rent a botnet or something? Is there anything against that in the ClickBank policy?

    I'm jealous of this guy/girl's traffic...

    Here are some links examples:

    Did you see how many views? Over 250,000... That's pretty massive.

    Hope it comes to an end, or Google will feel very :(

    The fact is Youtube is a massive marketing vehicle, I know affiliates who make crazy money by promoting through Youtube, I have an affiliate who made one video which probably took him 10 minutes to make and his conversion rate is like 1:20 which is crazy and has made him hundreds of dollars. No doubt he has done the same on youtube with other products.

    Its important to keep in mind tho, that if 250,000 people watch a youtube video, how many of them are actually going to go to the web address that was flashed across the screen ?

    the leads are probably worse than print advertising so < 1%
