My Youtube Account Suspended, I can't believe this

30 replies
I had about 12 videos on that account. and most of them are product review videos.
i bought about 6k youtube views from fiverr for 1 on the video. and other videos has few views too. And i was using my software [video vantage] for the link building stuff on each of the video. And i wake up one morning [last week] and discovered my youtube account has been suspended just like that. saying...we noticed unusually activates on your account. I was surprised and up till now, i couldnt know what i did wrong. Is it the result of the fiverr 6k yt views or the video vantage software?

Please who can tell me?

    No surprise here.

    Youtube for the past few years has been tracking bought views whether people realize it or not.

    Most likely it was a combination of both that got your account banned.


    Just try to not buy views in the future as it was probably triggered their

    system to watch your account for a possible correction.

    Reading your post and Youtube's reply, it sounds to me it's because of the views you've bought from Fiverr.

    To be honest, they're really clamping down on that kinda stuff and I would consider skipping on buying views for your future videos.

    You must remember, Youtube - like Google - is constantly evolving and improving their algorithm, and all the ways to "game" their algorithm will get patched eventually.

    You're alright backlinking to it, but then again, that won't get you banned from Youtube because it's got nothing to do with Youtube... That's Google's turf.

    Sorry for the bad news btw. All you can do is learn from it and use that knowledge for your future campaigns.

      Is this really surprising? They detected invalid view traffic so they disabled your account.

      Anything fiverr related for youtube videos is a huge gamble, honestly.

      Those i know who still use fiverr for youtube do so on a churn and burn basis where account shutdowns are expected and accounted for.

      If you want an account for long term use don't use any artificial social boosters (views, likes, shares etc) or YT can and will shut you down.

    Sorry about your loose but Youtube is getting more strikt with their terms. I mean 12 videos is not that much reupload them on another channel and make this time sure to do a good job on onpage and eoff page seo without buying views. It's a lesson most of us learned in the past!

    I guess that purchasing 6K views that causing your YT got banned.

    Are you intended to rank your YT video for targeted keyword at Google?

      Sorry to hear your YouTube account be banned, this is a good lesson for me, and I am almost convince that 6k view from Fiverr in one shot has made your account suspected by YouTube....

      I always learn from my mistake...but it's not the end of the world, I am sure now you will not do it again, hopefully the lesson has been taken and error been corrected by now, so careful what you can buy and not buy from Fiverr, move to the next chapter.... and by the time pass sure you will master all made errors.

    You should have bought HR views with 80% Retention,+ sudden inbound back link blast to your video will obviously make it look suspicious.

    So your combined effort of View+BL got your account banned.

      Yeah i don't think it's a good idea to buy youtube views, it can work obviously, but when they catch you well all your work and effort was for nothing.

      Just a thought: perhaps they won't ban you by spending a little money promoting your videos through google adwords. It's dirt cheap and it will reduce the chances of getting banned a lot, plus you'll get high qulaity views in the process Even if it's only a couple of bucks a day, i guess they won't likely ban a channel which is making them money...

    What about quitting artificial/fake/dishonest marketing and focusing on natural/real/honest marketing? And... making the Internet a more trustable medium for everyone?

    Let's say you are looking for reviews of a product and you found a video full of fake views, fake likes, fake reviews. Then bought the product based on that fake marketing and then figured the product was actually crap. How would you feel?

    Don't do something to others that you don't want done to yourself.

    What part can't you believe?
    That Amazon suspended your account because you scammed the rules?
    That the bought bot likes were noticed ?
    That you were daft enough to do that in the first place?

      You getting it wrong. i bought the YT views TO BOAST my video ranking just as others has suggested on this forum too. i never scammed and don't like to violent rules. i never knew it is against their rules. That's it.

    Makes me smile when people who try to play the system get their accounts closed and then can't understand why.

    Did you really think 6k fake views would go unnoticed?

    As many say, i'd blame the artificial views. YouTube (Google) can smell them in minutes.

    Thanks warriors for your feedbacks. Anyway, I never violent sites terms and rules. i never know buying views is against YT terms. I have read severely information And suggestions of boasting your youtube video ranking by buying yt views. I only implemented the idea and got myself in trouble. I respect peoples rules. but didn't know buying fiverr YT views is a mess. But can too much backlink from a new video also attracts YT suspension?

    It's most definitely because of the 6,000 youtube views you bought. I've seen lots of providers with tons of negative feedback on their services because of this. Fortunately, there's still some providers who can deliver youtube views safely. SEOClerks is a good place for affordable views. However, I wouldn't go with the first provider I see because that's just too much of a risk. That said, using providers of youtube views on Fiverr, SEOClerks or any other marketplace is a risk you'll have to take.

    You got caught this time. Sooner or later, most people will end up with suspended accounts too.

    As most of the warriors here said that, your account was banned because of those cheap views from fiverr. You don't know how they are providing those views. They are bots in most instances. So, you might not want to risk your account for that kind of rubbish.

    Paid views are acceptable if you do it thru Youtube/Ad words for videos

    I usually spend $20 and get about 500 Youtube approved views just to jump start my videos

    Buying them via Fiverr will get you shut down

    Especially if you have any intention to monetize your account - you expect them to pay for views on your videos when you are gaming the system?

      This is not "paid views" technically. Advertising and getting natural views generated by interested users who see your ads (featured videos) are not the same as bots who artificially increase the view count or worse than that, users who get paid to view videos/pages.

        Is anyone using Vegax? It seem it looks a bit real. Or does its Yt views also warrant Youtube account suspension? i don't want to fall a victim to this again.

        But my point is if you value your youtube channel ya got to play by their rules

    12 videos and you're pissed? LOL....I have channels with thousands of videos get whacked every once in a while, and I'm up and running the same day. However, I very rarely buy fake views, and if I do, they are HR views that are drip fed.

    If you are going to play the churn n' burn game with YT, then this is the price you pay. Just save your videos and be prepared to upload them to a new channel at any given moment. That's how it works. Bit of a pain in the ass at times, but it's usually quick money, so it's worth it.

    I am sure it was the Fiverr views, Google does not play around and there is no warning. They just crush you for minor reasons. I would be pissed even with 1 video if it is a video that is making profit.

    It's the views... I'm living proof that you can rank a video on the first page for a competition keyword with little to no views... work I did 5 months ago has stood up still and I haven't bothered pursuing it because in truth the video itself isn't great..

    I focus other places in much more effective fashion now that I'm better at video, but that video still stands halfway down page 1 and gets 5 - 6 views organically a month..

    like I said that's from 5 months ago and quality and wording are terrible but it's still proof that you don't need to be buying views, just doing a little work

      I don't understand why one buy views? If your video is good or have something interesting in it then people will definitely like to share or watch again and again. Rather than buying views you should share such videos on social bookmarking and social networking sites. Video sharing usually work well on Facebook and Google+.

      YouTube always keep a check on the views of the videos. If views of the videos suddenly get increased they suspect and behave like Google and finally got to know what's wrong. And they ultimately banned the account of the suspected owner.
