My Amazon YouTube Video flagged as Inappropriate Any Idea Why???

3 replies
I had purchased a wso a while back about how to make videos of Amazon products and put them up on YouTube. I followed the wso instructions and today received an email from YouTube concerning that it had been flagged and determined to be inappropriate. The email is below. No mention of what exactly was inappropriate about it. The video contained images from the Amazon product site and key features with a link under the video to my site (not an affiliate link).

Can anyone shed some light on what happened? If I am doing something wrong I want to take down my other videos before they are flagged too and my account closed.

Thanks in advance.

The email from YouTube is below...

    Was the video created with Animoto? A lot of those type of videos get deleted. There is a good chance that it was a competitor that flagged your video.

    That sounds like it was a video which looks like an advertisement. Did the video have any content such as an analysis of the product features? I don't think YouTube want videos that are uploaded purely as the intention to sell, which is why they deleted it upon reviewing it.

    What was the name of the WSO you bought? I read a lot of similar experiences from people who bought such type of WSO.

    Cooler1 - thanks for your reply,

    Amazon Quick Cash by Michael Franklin was the wso.

    So, I should take down all the videos I made using this method that are on YouTube?

      That was the WSO I was talking about, a lot of people have had the same problem.

      If you were using Animoto to create the videos and the videos are on an account which has videos you don't want to lose then id recommend taking them down.
