    Hey kubeq24,

    I would like you to try the following steps in case you 're not aware of them already:

    In order to add a link in a comment and prevent the risk of being ghost banned, first send your reply without the link then check by logging off youtube and if your comment is still visible then log in back and edit your comment by adding the link.

    If your comment is being ghost banned because of adding youtube links in it then try pasting the link in this form as in the example "watch?v=BPGS8uEe6BA"

    Finally, if you're still having problems posting links in your reply then try shortening the links with some link shortener like bitly.

    Hope this helps!

      Thanks for advices.

      None of them works unfortunately. First I added comment, then I waited several minutes and I edited comment by adding a link (shortened by bit.ly or goo.gl or not shortened).
      Every time I add a link it gets ghosted no matter how I do it.

      I would like my comment to be like this:


      Hope you have any ideas

        If that didn't work plesae make sure that you 're not violating any of the following Spam Fighting Measures:
        1. Users can post a maximum of 10-20 comments on videos per day depending on the quality factor of the commenter's Google+ account. Any exceeding comments will be hidden from public view and cause the associated YouTube/Google+ account to be flagged.
        2. Once an account is flagged by YouTube it is banned from commenting for up to 24 hours, during which any comments posted will be hidden from view (i.e. ghosted). The quality factor of an account is diminished significantly every time it gets flagged.
        3. Once detected, any unoriginal or repetitive comments made by a YouTube/Google+ account will be hidden from public view and cause that account to be banned from posting visible comments for up to 24 hours. (This is why thousands of Bob comments disappeared from YouTube overnight)
        4. Comments containing unapproved links will be hidden from public view (i.e. ghosted)

        If your links are associated in any way with any kind of Adult or Illegal site your comment will be automatically ghosted. If that's not the case try posting the same comment with the same link BUT from another youtube account and that way you can identify whether your other account is flagged or not.

    I'm not banned beacuse my comments are visible but only those without links.

    Only comments with links are ghosted but it's quite strange because google always approved G+ links in youtube comments. ( My links are G+ links but sometimes shortened)

    I've been watching YT for a while (6 days) and it seems to be like a secret method to not get ghosted when you paste links in comments. Same accounts spam the same statement about 5-10 times below one video and it doesn't get ghosted. (they paste g+ links same as do I)

    Any ideas how it is possible?
