Any Youtube Marketers In The House?

5 replies
Hey guys,

I had a video up doing a little product review and it got deleted and re-uploaded.
Now I had about 25k views and some likes. Here's the email Youtube sent me.

"This following video was found in Violation of TOU #4 Section H:"


"You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," or "offline readers," that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the YouTube servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, YouTube grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials. YouTube reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service, nor to use the communication systems provided by the Service (e.g., comments, email) for any commercial solicitation purposes. You agree not to solicit, for commercial purposes, any users of the Service with respect to their Content."



Violation of the policy above has resulted in the removal and reupload of your video(s). Additional account violations of Terms of Use #4 Section H will result in account suspension. Many users trust outside marketers who claim to increase views, subscribers, likes, etc., but each user is ultimately responsible for the activity on his or her account, as well as for knowing and abiding by YouTube's Terms of Use. This includes understanding the nature of the traffic on his or her channel and making sure any hired service providers comply with YouTube's Terms of Use. "


So Im thinking too many views too fast eh? Any suggestion on how this can STOP happening. Only a few views at a time?

    So, how did you get 25,000 views? Did you use some sort of automation to get views and likes? Did you hire someone to somehow market your video or web site? Until we know what you did to break their terms of service, we're not going to be able to help you.

    Obviously, there is something about your methods that YouTube doesn't like. My guess is this:
    "Many users trust outside marketers who claim to increase views, subscribers, likes, etc., but each user is ultimately responsible for the activity on his or her account, as well as for knowing and abiding by YouTube's Terms of Use. This includes understanding the nature of the traffic on his or her channel and making sure any hired service providers comply with YouTube's Terms of Use."
    Until you tell us specifically what you're doing, we can only guess at why it's causing you problems.

    Yep, stop using automated methods (robots, buying views and likes etc), go for natural growth.

    Did you know that you can do SEO on your videos to get them to rank on the searches? (and I don't mean through blackhat methods)

    Do the SEO and, if there are people who are interested, you will get views.

    Go for natural ways to promote your videos. Do off-page SEO that looks natural to Google. Leverage social media like facebook and twitter in your promotions to get best results.

    Google owns Youtube. That is already a warning. Don't put many eggs into that basket as it can be taken away anytime. I lost so many accounts that it is hard to get motivated using them again...

    I can only agree with those above. Stop using bought views and don't upload all videos in one account. Create multiple accounts and be prepared to loose some of them if you're involved in blackhat techniques. If you need help how to optimize& rank your videos check my blog I have loads of free YouTube SEO tutorials there.
