YouTube Views - Mturk and Fiverr?

[James Kenton]

Hi,

I've recently posted some videos on YouTube to promote my very first 100% self-made product. Just using the title and tags isn't getting me very far so I'm looking for other ideas. There's all the usual of course - article sites, backlinking, press releases etc.

I've seen it suggested that using Mturk and Fiverr is good for increasing rankings ... but it seems to me that such traffic would be easy for Google/YouTube to spot; which could have a negative effect on the ranking.

Would someone please let me have the current view on this (January 2012)?

Thank you.

James

Oh ... and I've put a link in my signature here too ... and I'm not sure that's such a great idea! But any feedback would be welcome

Backlinks to a video on youtube is quite useless, but the
point is debatable I guess.

Build backlinks to a webpage that has the video.

Build backlinks to your youtube channel.

Make sure you choose the description and title
with great care.

Yukon gave me this tip. If you have a slew of videos
on the same topic/niche, name them all the same thing,
and give them the same description. That way, if someone
clicks on the video, all your other ones will appear beside it.

Pumping up views and ratings can help. Put the videos everywhere,
squidoo, facebook, even traffic exchanges.

Now you may be given a plethora of magic tricks here, but there
really is no such thing.

I have purchased YouTube views on Fiverr before - mostly for the videos I make for my offline clients - since their competition has had videos up for years, they want to have a similar number of views.

I have also done this with my own videos - I DO think that it helps. At first, I didn't see improvement as far as ranking my videos in Google. But, getting a lot of views WILL shoot you up the search results within YouTube. So, if someone searches Youtube for the topic of your video, your is more likely to come up first when it has lots of views. Believe me, I know from RECENT experience.

Now, I can't say what the effect of views has on your videos SERP ranking though. Because by the time my videos rank high in Google, I've already sent some link juice to them and I've already embedded them on a million BuildMyRank posts.

Bottom line, just try buying a few thousand views on Fiverr. Seriously, it's five bucks so what do you really have to lose?? In my opinion, the investment is worth it.
