Google+ Profile Names Policy (Very important for those who want create new YOUTUBE accounts)

5 replies
Hi fellows.

Recentely I noticed that creating a google+ profile is a MUST when you try to create an Youtube account to upload videos. I Noticed that if you do not manage to do it prefectly then it can lead to very bad situtions (for insrtance your youtube video in your channel can be simply disabled or even removed!). So I strongly recomend you to read this:

Furthermore I am worried about our future of using Youtube for the following reason"

    Google plus is for People.
    Google plus pages are for businesses. So to me it seems like it is easy to get around.

    I don't feel like that is a big issue. If you aren't spammy and provide value. The chances of anything bad happening are slim to none.

    If people really think that is a big issue. There is always an option to create multiple gmail accounts.

    Personally I dont worry about it.

      Thanks for your input buddy.

      Unfortunately I lost one of my best videos just because I did not know those policies! that's why I started this thread.

    Coreypaulotten,
    I forgot to add, I think that when you create a new YT account, It leads you to create a Google+ profile not a google+ page! Please somebody corrects me If I am wronga and let em know how to go for a google+ page from a google+ profile?

    I also had to appeal because of the name policy. They blocked my YT because i didnt have a real name. Cant use keywords as names anymore unless you put in nickname. Google + is still good to have though.

      Thanks for your input man,

      How long you had to wait after your appeal so that your YT video came back?

      Yest, No keywords for your G+ Profile but I think you can use keywords for your G+ PAGE.
