If you buy views (I'm looking at virool) on a monitized video.. Will Adsense reject your views and not pay out?

    viewing your video is not enough. the viewer needs to click your ads, then thats where you gain money. increasing views has nothing to do with adsense.

    I don't believe that videos payout for impressions at all, but I could be wrong since it's been awhile since I used Adsense.

    You do get paid on clicks on the ads, not views of the video. I wouldn't send paid views to a video with adsense though. It's an excellent way to get your YouTube and adsense account clobbered.

    Direct from the YouTube Creators Blog re Views & 3rd Party Services

    "...anything that artificially increases the number of views, either through the use of automatic systems or by serving up videos to unsuspecting viewers, is against our terms. Videos and accounts that are found to be in violation of our terms may be closed down and removed from YouTube."

    Not all paid views services trip that particular trap, but be wary.

    Sending crappy traffic to pretty much anything that serves adsense ads is a bit like playing russian roulette with your account, including videos.

    I haven't had the experience of having an adsense account banned but I've read about plenty of people who have doing this exact same thing. A lot of services who provide views won't do it on videos which have adsense on them. Not necessarily out of the goodness of their hearts mind you...but because chances are the users account will get banned and look to the view provider for a refund.

    I'd skip it!
