*Stupid* idea to get 1000 views on youtube videos

If you had googled this you wouldn't have posted the question. For a while you could 'refresh' and get another 'view' - as long as you watch 1/3 to 1/2 of the video each time after you 'refresh'.

Then at about 200 views or so Google will notice the url and...no more view. Could be no more YT acct, too.

When your question is about how to 'game' one of the biggest sites online...it's probably best to move to the next idea.

forget the other answers about how stupid this question really is..

but do you have the skill and the ability to make a you tube video that even you would want to watch 1000 times ..

forget the other technical blocks ...are you really going to spend a few weeks and maybe 100 hours ..viewing your own video ..

Thanks

Duh, like a page refresh will increase a Youtube view count.

This isn't AOL circa 1997.

Don't try and "cheat" the "system." Provide something of tremendous value ― that really helps People -- and you will get a lot of activity. And (more importantly) you will be helping People in your Niche..

Who determines what constitutes "tremendous value"? Especially considering the biggest, most viral videos on YouTube offer no value whatsoever.

Good point. I suppose they offer the "value" of being entertaining/interesting/humorous/shareable/etc.

Possibly, but from a business standpoint do any of those offer any real 'value?' I see them more as time-wasters that in no way provide an opportunity to increase the commercial viability or income-producing aspects of my project.

Just something to consider.

Well you don't necessarily have to create a "Viral" video. There's a lot of opportunity for creating videos in your Niche/Market. That said, somtimes a good video will get a lot of shares/likes/etc.

The value is entertainment. Music is, by far, the most popular "niche" on Youtube. Gaming is also huge. Many IMers think the only way to be successful is to "solve a problem". But far more people use the Net to be entertained than to cure their latest case of claudemydia.

well said ,

part of the problem comes with he condesending view of what most people do with their time or where most people spend their money ..that comes with part of the success or internet marketing community .

none of us here get to decide what is really of value to the market..it is a matter of finding where the markets are spending big chunks of money and doing what is in our more and ethical code to provide

From what I've found, each refresh counts as a visit.
Yes, yes, how absolutely sad.

Would this be a good way of getting 1000 views?
What are the flaws in the idea?

If Google would be so stupid then all of us would have by now mil of views and the money were pouring in using a simple script that refreshes the browser ;-) ...

On youtube growing a channel takes time and effort unless you want to spend money on ads...

Flaws? Why this is one of the best ideas I've ever heard.

Why not just refresh a million times? You'll be rich in no time.

Something you should never do is market research, have a plan, or a clue. Why would you go to all that effort when it's easy to make money online with no effort at all.

Just fake it.
