This was a very informative post and having had a couple of channels banned I will be taking it on board

Everybody should get the message by now: CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT!
If you need it repeated, just hit F5 on your keyboard.

Whatever you do online, you must provide content. When linking from any third party platform - link to a landing page with CONTENT and a CALL TO ACTION.

After they ACTED on your CALL - Provide them with more C _ _ _ _ _ T!

If you got that right - give yourself 100%

ANSWER KEY - {CONTENT!}

I can certainly understand your upset. Just remember that all of those sites that are thin and provide no content are only ranking because they haven't gotten busted, yet. The zebra update or the one legged frog update is bound to catch them, and I'm certain you don't want that to be you?

Google really does like good content, but the problem is that turf Google is managing is positively massive. So they have to find automated ways to catch and filter all of the crap sites, channels, etc. They're probably looking for exactly 30 second videos since so many of them are commercials created on animoto. It seemed even before now, that animoto videos had a harder time ranking of other slideshow videos. There is probably also some way to see if there are other videos on the same channel that are longer than the 30 second ones. They will continue to refine ways to find these videos, channels, MFA sites, amazon sites, etc. etc. because they have whole teams of highly paid people who's sole purpose is to do just that. It's just the way it is.

That being said, I think Google is actually forcing us as marketers to do our jobs better. To offer value and engagement instead of just going for the jugular with the quick and easy sale. And I think this is a good thing. Mainly because it filters out the riff raff that don't have the patience to do it right, leaving more customers for us real marketers to engage and lure into our own interesting and informative sales funnels.

Although I don't know enough about the banning practices of google to know whether they would ban your IP altogether, I agree that it would be smart to consider this ban is a warning. I wouldn't let that stop me, though. I would find another IP lickety split and either create another email or have a hundred or so made for me on fiverr. Then I would create engaging content around the 2 videos that got shot down and see if I could blend those same videos on another channel that don't leave my other channels under my home IP exposed. See if they just need company; or test to see if it's the words, etc.

While it could be the cpa issue, I have a couple videos direct linking to CPA and haven't had any trouble just yet. I like to test videos direct linking to see if the offer converts well enough to justify building a site for it.
