Am I getting fake visits from youtube?

5 replies
I uploaded some videos to youtube and only a couple of minutes after they were uploaded I had about 6 visits to my link, and about 30 minutes later I've got 22 visits.

I'd like to think that they are real visitors, but is there a possibility that they could be bots?

    Well depends do you have subscribers at all? Did you SEO the video?

    Could be bots if you are using some keywords that get scraped often.

    If you post it I can take a look and see.

      Well I just copied the keywords and title etc from videos with a lot of views and applied them to my own videos. What would be the reason for bots clicking on my link on youtube?

        Well maybe you just had a good idea and you are getting related video views now.

        Check your traffic stats on YouTube in a couple days you will know exactly what is happening.

          So the traffic stats will tell me whether they're bots or real visitors?

            You will see where the visits come from. Related, search or external.

            If the visits are external and come from weird IPs, websites and countries then you can perhaps guess they are bots.
