"Algorithm" How YouTube Search & Discovery Works

Welcome to this series of web about
how YouTube Search & Discovery works.

Listen up because understanding how your videos get found can be super helpful to your channel's success.

Let's start with the algorithm.

YouTube is a popular place, with hundreds of hours of video uploaded each minute. Since no team of people could ever keep up with watching all that we rely on a sophisticated algorithm to match each viewer to the videos they're most likely to watch and enjoy.

The algorithm is basically a real-time feedback loop that tailors videos to each viewer's different interests.

It does its best to show the right videos to the right viewer at the right time across the whole planet.

How do we do this?
With data!

For each video, we look at things like titles, thumbnails, descriptions and how other viewers seem to be enjoying it.

We also look at how much of the video they're watching if they're clicking "like" or "dislike", and how many people are commenting.

And for each unique viewer we look at things like what the person has watched in the past, how much time they spend watching, and what they don't watch.

Above all,

the algorithm has two simple goals:

1) Help each viewer find the videos they want to watch, and

2) Get viewers to keep watching more of what they like Now, you might be asking yourself "OK, then how can I get

the algorithm to like my videos?"

It's pretty simple:
get the audience to like your videos.
That's because the algorithm follows the audience.
If people love your videos, the algorithm will surface them to others.
But where will new audiences

actually encounter these videos?
In the next sections, we'll dive into six key areas where videos are often found.
And we'll start with YouTube Search.

How to Get Traffic from Video Marketing [puzzle seo]

How to Get Traffic from Video Marketing [puzzle seo] ! The final piece of the puzzle and the last source of traffic is going to be video marketing. This is another very powerful option when it comes to driving traffic and as with the other methods we’ve gone over it has some specific advantages that make it uniquely useful.

Perhaps the biggest advantage that video has is how engaging it is. If you have ever sat up all night watching a countdown of ‘90s ballads’ then you’ll know just how hard it is to turn away from video, even when it’s not exactly inspired content. If you can put your message into a video form, then you will have a way to really suck people in and to get a lot of visits to head to your site.

Another big advantage of video, is that it is so persuasive and potentially emotional. This time the best example we can think of is how you can be moved by tears to a film or even an advert. Sure, novels can get you to sob – but have you ever been made to cry by an advert in print? Video allows you to use music and to speak directly to your audience which has potential to have a far bigger emotional impact.

So how do you go about using the engaging and emotive nature of visitor to increase your traffic and visitors? Let’s take a look at what you need to know.

Where Can You Use Video?

There are many places you can use video marketing but a few will stand out as most likely. One way to use video marketing is to set up a YouTube account and to create a vlog – or even just to upload a few adverts. From here, it will be easy to get direct viewers from YouTube’s search functions, as well as to embed your video on your website or through social media.

Embedding a video on your website of course won’t increase your traffic but it can definitely help with engagement. This is hugely beneficial for a business that provides a service or has a complex product – a video can quickly and elegantly describe what it is you’re selling so that your traffic doesn’t leave before anyone has fully engaged with your site.

Uploading videos on YouTube meanwhile can be a very effective way to gain visitors as well as fans. If someone subscribes to your content on YouTube, they’ll then be notified every time you upload something new and this will make them increasingly likely to visit your site or follow you on social media. This type of video marketing works best if you provide a series of videos on a specific topic that people search for: be that fitness, diet, web design, programming, sports, music or anything else. This way, people will look up related topics, discover your brand and hopefully end up subscribing.

To make this work, you need to approach YouTube a little as you would SEO. That means coming up with a title that people are likely to search for and that isn’t too similar to a million others. Videos come up in the‘suggested’ column too if they’re related to the subject being watched, so do make sure the titles are also ‘clickable’.

On top of this, try to add as much description as possible for your video which will create more keywords and long-tail keywords. And of course you should also enter as many keywords as possible into the section especially for them. Adding a thumbnail for your video can also help a great deal and you should make sure to set up your YouTube channel page.

Sharing your content to social media is another way to engage your audience and to provide something of value that will strengthen your brand. What’s more, you can use videos alongside Facebook Ads by creating a video ad that will get a lot more attention than a simple banner.

How to Create Great Videos on a Budget

Apart from anything else, video makes you stand out as a serious and resourceful business. Anyone can create a website these days and anyone can certainly set up a Facebook Ad. Creating a video with impressive production values on the other hand puts you a cut above and makes you look much more professional.

Thankfully, it’s possible to create videos on a budget even if your name isn’t Stephen Spielberg…

There are multiple approaches you can take to making a video. The first and most common is simply to film yourself talking and to include some cutaways or still images to mix things up. These days you can record high quality on a lot of phones, so you may not even need any specialist equipment. Do think carefully about the way you arrange the backdrop though and the lighting you’re going to have set up. Being lit from the side is the most flattering and creates a professional looking contrast (this is called ‘Rembrandt’ lighting). Likewise, you can try adding your brand to the shot, or creating a background that looks very productive or that incorporates your niche/industry somehow.

Write a script, speak slowly and film as many takes as you can. Now you should look at using software like Adobe Premier for the editing. This is a little expensive (about $60 a month) but worth it – of course you only need to pay for as many months as you’re likely to use it and you can get impressive discounts if you use a student account. You also get the first month free if you only need to make a couple of videos.

Now try to edit your video so it flows nicely and so you aren’t lingering on one shot for too long. When transitioning between takes, always switch angle at the same time and try to pick off from the same timestamp. If you’re not doing that then it can look a little jarring (it’s called a ‘jump cut’) but you can lessen this by adding an animated transition of some sort. (Don’t use transitions unless you need them or it can look like you’re over excited to be using editing software for the first time…)

Add a logo to one corner of the screen, pay someone on Fiverr to make you a video opener and find some royalty free music you can use over your video quietly. Don’t be too ambitious to start with: it’s better to make a very short simple video and to labour over getting it perfect than it is to make something long and awkward. And anyway, people are statistically more likely to watch short videos through to the end.

Making Videos Without a Camera
Not everyone will feel confident to go through this process however, especially if they don’t like their speaking voice or how they look on film. That’s completely fine – just don’t make the mistake of ignoring video as a result.

You can actually make videos in a number of other ways you see that don’t have to involve you being in front of the camera. One simple example is to make a slideshow which you can do even in Excel by just saving as an *.mpg. It’s then no big deal to record your voice over the top using a voice recorder and Windows Movie Maker.

Another option is to capture your screen and to talk over that footage. This is especially useful for tutorials on web design or programming. Alternatively, you can create a whiteboard animation (there’s a lot of software out there to do this for you) or even a stop motion animation. Any of these things will work as a great advert for your website that will attract lots of visitors when used with Facebook Ads or other types of social media. And if you post regularly to YouTube and find ways to ensure your video is entertaining, inspiring or informative, you’ll find this is also a great way to build a following and drive traffic – even if you’re not in front of the camera!

Passive Income From YouTube Adsense On Complete Autopilot - Getting Video Views [Stage 6]

Getting Video Views

Question and Answer Sites
One way of increasing the video view count is to add the YouTube link to question and answer sites. You can either post a question or answer any that you feel you can help with. At the end of the answer you can add the link to your YouTube video. Aim to give comprehensive answers though on topics you are knowledgeable about.

The first site worth checking out is called ‘Quora’.

https://www.quora.com/

Another good question and answer site is ‘Yahoo Answers’.
https://www.yahooanswers.com/

Be careful not to answer too many questions each day. It is important not to look like you are spamming these sites.

Forum Signature
A forum will have a facility to create a signature. These can contain text and/or links. Each time you make a post on the forum your signature will show up.

You can add the link of your YouTube video to your signature. When someone reads your post it is possible they may click the link to your video in your signature.

Like Comments and Views
I would advise against buying fake views, comments and likes to try and boost your videos. There are risks to doing this and YouTube has wised up to it.

If you are discovered to have done anything like this you could have your video removed or worse still, your account may be shut down.

Keep within the rules and you will be ok. Too many people are looking for instant results and try to game the system. That is the worst thing you can do. Don't mess with any of the blackhat stuff on increasing views.

Leave a comment on other peoples videos. Your username and photo will be shown and there is a possibility people will click through and check out your videos. Again more views and possible Adsense clicks could result for you...

The thing with YouTube is that it is a long term strategy. Over time your view count will grow naturally. Don’t forget others will include your video on their website or even share it via social media.

Channels
You can create what is known as a channel in your YouTube account. It is not absolutely necessary and won’t affect your ability to earn via Adsense in any way.

A channel can be useful if you want to brand yourself.

Here is an example of a banner I got made for one of my channels.

People will subscribe to your channel and will be awaiting your next videos.

I advise getting a banner for your channel with some nice graphics. You can get one done on Fiverr.com for $5. Having a banner makes your channel look good and gives out a degree of professionalism and trust.
If you have a website and Twitter, Facebook accounts it is a good idea to use the same banner on all of them and bring it across to your YouTube channel also. People will become familiar with your brand when they see the same banner on different platforms.

Here is an example of a banner I got made for one of my channels.

Subscribers
Because you are making videos which are giving value and helping people you will find you will start to gather subscribers and fans.

People will be interested in what you are doing and seeing your next videos. They will be instantly notified when you put something out.

The beauty of this is that you are building a list of people who are interested in what you have to offer.
You may get asked questions and it is worth responding. In fact, the more interaction the better. By having this list of subscribers you can then promote your website, product or services to them.

Social Media
One way of increasing the view count of your videos is to promote them via the various social media platforms such as:

•  Facebook
•  Twitter
•  Pinterest
•  Google+
•  Linked-In

These platforms have enormous potential for getting views as well as subscribers. Videos which teach something can do particularly well on a site such as Linked-In.
Remember, the more views you are getting on your videos the more your Adsense earnings will increase each month.
Getting more likes and comments on your video will also show Google how popular it is becoming and you will see a boost in your rankings.
You can copy and paste the YouTube video link to your friends or followers. Alternatively click on the share button below your YouTube video and use the social media buttons that appear.

Conclusion
As you have seen, YouTube offers an amazing opportunity for making passive income. When you create the videos that Google wants to see, you will be rewarded.

If you have skills then create videos to showcase them. You don’t need to be a total expert on the subject. The main thing here is that as long as you are giving people value in your video then you are well on your way to being seen as the go to person for your subject.

Remember to give value always in your videos. I can’t emphasise this enough. Create tutorial videos that teach people something.

So many get disillusioned when they find they are not getting the views they hoped for. Be patient - YouTube is a waiting game.

In time your videos will build up momentum and views and you will be rewarded for your efforts.

Videos = Adsense

Passive Income From YouTube Adsense On Complete Autopilot - Creating Videos [Stage 5]

Creating Videos

Decide on the appropriate equipment for the video you are making. For example, a video on making an omelette is not going to need screen recording software. More likely, you are going to film it using your cell phone or a dedicated video camera.

Do a few trial runs before going ahead with the final take. The reason for this is because you need to ensure both the picture and sound quality are good. If you get this wrong then the viewer will click away from your video. These days’ people have short attention spans.

I like to edit my videos after I have filmed them. I am a Windows man so tend to use something as simple as Windows Movie Maker. It does the job for me and is free. Camtasia Studio has a good editor also.

I would recommend adding a title at the start of your video. It gives your video a professional look. As part of the title you can also add your website link.

If you are familiar with article marketing you will be aware that the longer the article the better. There is some evidence to suggest longer videos do better on YouTube.

I would advise making your video to be at least 5 minutes long. If you can make it longer then that’s even better.

Optimisation

Creating and uploading a video is only part of the puzzle, a large part admittedly. We still need to give ourselves the best possible chance of people finding our video. We do this by performing a few optimisation techniques.

•  Filename of video contains the main keyword
•  Keyword in title
•  Keyword in description
•  Choose related keywords for the description

There are a few other things we can do, but the above are the essentials to perform.
Once you have created your video you should incorporate your keyword into the file name.

For example: howtocookanomlette.wmv
Also ensure your keyword is in the title box of your YouTube video. Try to ensure that your keyword is right at the start of the title.

For example, if I wanted to rank for the keyword ‘Excel Tutorial’ I would use a title like:
Excel Tutorial: Master Excel the easy way

You can also add the keyword to the YouTube description. I would advise adding it more than once here. It is worth writing up a short description in Notepad and pasting it into the YouTube description box. The description should contain a summary of what the video is about.

As part of the description you can add your website link if you so wish. I would recommend adding it right at the top of the description. You can additionally add it in other places in the description, but ensure one link is at the top.

Take a look at this video. Notice how the keyword is in the title. Also notice there is a variation of the title in the description box. The website link has also been added here.

Personally I would have added a longer description with more keywords, but look at the view count of this video – you can’t argue with that.

Use the keyword ‘Learn MS Excel’ in both the title and description.

Add the link of your website or blog into the description box to let people know how to contact you.

That’s really all you need to do to optimise your video. I don’t do any more than that.
If you are aiming to promote an affiliate product I would steer clear of putting your affiliate link in the description. The reason being, YouTube has been pulling down videos that contain an affiliate link.

What I would do is put the review on your blog. Then include the link of your blog in your YouTube description.

You can also add your video to your blog. This will give your blog some link juice from YouTube. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Passive Income From YouTube Adsense On Complete Autopilot - Keyword Research [Stage 4]

When keywords are mentioned it fills some people with dread. Do you need any keyword research with YouTube? Well the answer is yes and no.

My experience has found in the case of tutorial videos it is not essential to go after keywords. If you know how to use Photoshop then make a note of the features you are familiar with. Create short videos and upload them to YouTube. The traffic will automatically come because people are naturally curious to learn.
If you have used MS Word you could create videos on:

•  How to format a document
•  How to use the spell checker
•  How to create a mail merge
•  How to bring an Excel document into MS Word
•  How to create a PDF document

If I go to YouTube and start to type in the first few words of ‘How to cook an omelette’ you can see that YouTube is coming up with suggestions right away.

I know I can use this as a keyword for my video. I can take things further and put that same keyword into the Google Keyword Planner tool.

Here we can see that although the searches each month are low, the keyword has some search volume.
Another useful keyword tool is at ubersuggest.org.

By typing in your keyword it will give you a list of suggestions to use.

Creating a video around any of these topics is guaranteed a good number of viewers. The fact that these are long tail keywords (keywords with more than a single word) helps a lot also. 

To check out your competition you can do the following:
Enter a phrase into Google and add the word ‘YouTube’ at the end of it. Then hit the search button. 

For example here I am looking for videos on the subject of ‘Excel tables’.

The results show the related videos.
I can see that there are 1,760,000 results.

If I click the videos at the top of the list I can investigate a little more about it.

We can see that the video has 115,698 views and 217 likes.

To beat this video in the rankings would take a lot of work.
Buying EDU, Wiki and bookmarking links from Fiverr would certainly help to give your video a boost in the rankings. It’s not ideal, I prefer to do things naturally myself, but for those that want to do it this way it can certainly help.

Passive Income From YouTube Adsense On Complete Autopilot - Equipment [Stage 3]

Equipment

There are different ways of making videos. I find some are more effective than others. Most videos I make are done with screen recording software.

However, you can also use a dedicated video camera. I still use a tape camcorder for some videos. Because the tapes are digital format the quality is still very good.

You can also use a Flip camera. The beauty of these is that they plug directly into the computer so you can instantly transfer your masterpiece.

Many digital cameras have a video recording facility which offers exceptional results.

Then of course there is the phone. The video quality from a Smartphone is almost as good as that from a dedicated video camera. If you have an iPhone or Android device you may have shot some video already.

As mentioned, most of my videos for YouTube have been made using screen recording software.

There are free and paid versions of screen recording software. Let’s take a look at them now.

Free Camstudio
http://camstudio.org/

BB Flashback Express
http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/

Paid
Camtasia Studio
https://www.techsmith.com

My favourite free tool is BB Flashback Express. It does a superb job.
Camtasia Studio is a little pricey, but totally worth it and they do a trial also… so give it a go. Another tool worth considering is PowerPoint. If you have the MS Office suite of programs you may have used PowerPoint. This program allows you to create slide presentations which can be outputted as a video file.
A text based slide presentation cannot really be considered to be a video in the true sense. If you add music, voice narration and images to it you can transform it from a dry text based presentation to something more exciting. 

If you don’t have PowerPoint you can get a free equivalent called ‘Impress’ by downloading the free ‘Open Office’ product. Obviously with any tool there is a learning curve, but not so large with the tools I mentioned.
It is worth investing in a decent microphone rather than using the inbuilt computer microphone. There are some good value USB microphones available. Don’t take the sound for granted. It is just as important as the picture quality. I’ve seen some videos with no sound at all – I really don’t understand why anyone would do that.

Some Preliminaries

In order to get a YouTube account you will need a Gmail account. The two are linked together. You will also need to sign up to Google Adsense. This is the program by which you will be paid. Don’t worry it won’t cost you anything to sign up.

Once you have your YouTube account and are signed up to Adsense you need to log into your YouTube account. In the settings option you need to turn on monetization. This tells YouTube that you want adverts to be placed on your videos and allows you to earn from Adsense.

After you create your video you will upload it to YouTube. Once it is approved for monetization, YouTube will place adverts at the start of or near the video.
Once you have associated an AdSense account with your YouTube account, you will be able earn revenue that has been generated from the adverts placed on the video.

Passive Income From YouTube Adsense On Complete Autopilot [Stage 1]

There are many ways to make money online. Most can be time wasters, but the one thing I have found that can work and continues to work time and time again is Adsense with YouTube.

Online video has grown exponentially, and will continue to grow, as the Internet is continually becoming faster and more accessible around the world.

Online video accounts for HALF of ALL Internet traffic. And that number is only going to increase.

YouTube streams 4 billion videos daily around the world.

It has 490 million unique users around the world each month.

It is owned by Google and is the 2nd largest search engine.

Over 24 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every single minute.

Imagine the traffic on a site like that.

You can take advantage of that traffic.

YouTube offers you the chance to earn from your videos by placing an advertisement in front of your video.
Notice when you watch a video there is sometimes an advert for a movie or car in front of it and it takes a few seconds before the video starts playing.

If someone should click on that advertisement then the person that allowed the advertisement to be shown on their video will get paid. Over time it adds up and you can make a nice little side income.

The more videos you upload the more you will earn. It's that simple.
Look this stuff works.....
Take a look at a snapshot of recent stats:

In the last 28 days....

•  10, 400 views
•  21, 126 minutes watched
•  28 new subscribers
•  $39.87 made

Many people upload videos to YouTube expecting a bolt load of views, only to be disappointed when they find this is not the case.

We all like to learn. For example, I did not know how to make an omelette until recently. My first port of call was YouTube. I typed in ‘How to make an omelette’ and up came a few results. I clicked on one, watched it and by the end of it I was churning out my first omelette.

‘How to videos’ get a lot of traffic. I can’t say how other videos fare, but I do know tutorial videos have done ok for me.

So what kind of tutorial videos can you make?
Here are some suggestions:

•  How to boil an egg
•  How to use Excel
•  Learn Spanish
•  How to make your own pizza
•  How to create a playlist in iTunes

These are just a few ideas. I’m sure you can think of many others. Another angle is a review of a product you have bought. Even better if the product you are reviewing is new to the market.

For example when a new version of Windows is released, go ahead and create some tutorials on how to use it. Pick out certain features and use screen capture software to teach people how to use those features.
Some niches work better than others for sure. I found internet marketing related videos don’t do so well.

Keys To Success

There are numerous factors that will determine your success in the Google Adsense program. There is no luck to it. You can be the most unlucky person in the world, and still succeed with Google Adsense. It’s all about understanding exactly how to run your Google Adsense Empire.

Note the word ‘empire.’ That’s where a great deal of your success will come from. If you just have one site that you run Google Adsense on, your chances for success are very limited.

You will have to drive huge amounts of traffic to that site in order to make Google Adsense worth your time and effort. Ideally, you should have numerous sites on a variety of topics.

Choosing the right topics – the highest paying topics – is also another factor for Adsense success. If you have ten sites, all with keywords that only pay five cents a click, you will need to keep your traditional job, or look for another source of income.

You will make a little money, but not enough to live on. Choose topics based on the highest paying keywords for success.

Choosing topics that have a high amount of searches is also a factor, but there is a trick to it. For instance, weight loss is a highly searched for topic, but it’s too varied, and too competitive.

Instead, narrow your focus on weight loss, and choose a niche within a niche, such as Hoodia weight loss, or weight loss for diabetic women. While you may earn a little less per click, you will be able to focus more greatly on getting traffic to the site.

Your ad units, ad links, and search boxes should match your site for best results. If the ads stand out too much, they will get fewer clicks. Adsense publishers have been testing ad placement and palettes since the the Adsense program started, and you would do well to follow what that research has found.

Traffic is the next factor for determining Google Adsense success. Without traffic, there is no success.
You need to use all of the proven traffic driving techniques at your disposal to drive as much traffic to your site as possible, on a continual basis. Content may be king, but if that is so, Traffic is the Pope, and even the king answers to the Pope.

Another factor for Google Adsense success is continuing to build. You need to continually add new content to your site, and create new sites. Keep an eye on the most frequently searched keywords.

Publish sites for at least the top ten, and then continue to build that empire. Even if you just added one page a month to each site, you could still keep it under control and have time to do other things.

For best results, get a server that will allow you to host unlimited domains. This will make it easier to keep track of everything and to update sites. Also use content management systems for your sites, where you can easily add content, without having to design a new page. Blogs are also great for Adsense.

Writing fresh content is time consuming, and buying fresh content can get expensive. If you find yourself in this dilemma, purchase private label rights articles, and pay a writer to rewrite them.

You will find that the content is produced much faster, and much cheaper. You could also opt to rewrite the content yourself.

The most important success factor for Adsense, however, is how much time and effort you are willing to put into it. The less time you put into it, the less success you will have. The more you put into it, the more success you will have, as long as you are taking the other factors into consideration.

Traffic Generation – Video Marketing

Video is becoming increasingly more important to cyber citizens, and essentially to online business owners, and even to Adsense site owners. You can drive traffic to your sites with the use of video and free video websites. Everybody loves video. Even Google now offers video ads for Adsense.

Sites like Google Video, YouTube, and Yahoo Video get tons of traffic every single day, and you can easily take advantage of that. You have two options for creating video. You can use a digital video camera, or you can use screen capture video software.

With a digital video camera, you can make a video of basically anything, and then upload that video to your computer, and then to the video websites. With screen capture video software, you don’t need a camera. You can just make a video of what is appearing on your computer screen.

For instance, if you have a website that reviews software, for which you earn Adsense revenue and affiliate revenue from software sales, you could purchase the software, and make a video that shows people how to use it. Videos such as these are in high demand. Just make sure that the video that you produce is relevant to the topic of your website.

Once you have a video, you want to be sure that it is of high quality. It should sound right and look right, and you may want to try it out on different computers to make sure that it is as good as you can get it. You do not want to present a video to the public that doesn’t have good quality, because this is a bad reflection on you.

Next, sign up for a free account at the three popular video sites, and upload your video. Create a profile, and make sure to include your website address in that profile. You can also use software to watermark your URL on your video, so that while it is being viewed, the URL remains in plain site. When you write descriptions for your videos, be sure to include your keywords, and your URL.

This guide will teach you everything you need to know about marketing on YouTube…

Google Gobbles up YouTubeX.com domain

Online media download tool YouTubeX.com has now become VideoDownloadX.com after falling victim to the much publicised Google ‘slap’ on URLs containing ‘YouTube’.

Boise, Idaho - 24 November 2007 - Online media download tool YouTubeX.com has today been relaunched as VideoDownloadX.com, to reflect its reach beyond YouTube.com in allowing users to download streaming media files to their hard drive for easier, quick access.

The brand realignment of YouTubeX.com is designed as a response to the impact of the latest Google agenda against sites with ‘YouTube’ contained within the URL, in order to prevent any loss of search engine visibility for the service.

Having already hijacked the YouTubeX.com URL, VideoDownloadX.com has been launched to avoid Google's ongoing rampage through sites with 'YouTube' based URLs, which is likelyto lead to a major upheavel amongst webmasters online.

Speaking today on the brand realignment, NAME of MindImage LLC said the move was both indicative of the growth of the service in recent times, to encompass a wider variety of media sources whilst also carrying the dual benefit of getting round the ‘YouTube’ effect.

“Google has been conducting a harsh penalisation process of websites that contain ‘YouTube’ within their name, as part of their ongoing crackdown on the independence of the Internet. Having already stolen our domain, there's no telling where else they'll strike next. Nevertheless we will continue to provide a quality service to our users without compromising what we do. YouTubeX.com is now VideoDownloadX.com, and our users can now look forward to access to files from any media site – not just from YouTube”.

VideoDownloadX.com allows users to download and save video files from a variety of media websites in order to save favourites for repeat viewing.

Buy Youtube Views

Buy The Cheapest Youtube Views For Your Videos.

When you browse through videos at YouTube, which do you usually click first:  one with around 10 views or one with around 75,000 views?  If you’re normal, then you’re much more likely to click on YouTube videos that have a lot of clicks already.  The logic is simple.  The more views a video has, the more interesting the video must be.  After all, why would a video gain so many views if it’s dull or uninteresting, right? Indeed, the bandwagon mentality works very well at YouTube – so why not use it to market your videos at YouTube?

Increase YouTube Views

If people are more likely to view a YouTube video that already has thousands of clicks, then increasing your YouTube video’s views will work in your favor.  The more hits your video has, the more viewers are likely to watch it.  If YouTube videos are a core component of your marketing strategy, this could only be a brilliant move on your part.

There are two main ways by which you can increase your YouTube views.  There’s the call-for-help way in which case you’ll ask your friends, your acquaintances, your friends’ and acquaintances’ friends and acquaintances (etc, etc, etc) to click on and watch your YouTube video.  This will require countless telephone calls and emails, of course.  Naturally, it will also take some time before you see your YouTube video’s views snowballing.  On the other hand, you can increase YouTube views by purchasing YouTube views at http://buyyoutubeviews.com/.

Why Buy YouTube Views?

Buying YouTube views is far more practical than asking friends, acquaintances, etc. to view your YouTube video.  By investing a small amount, you can have as much as 150,000 views on your YouTube video in 48 hours.  After 48 hours, other people are going to notice your video and think:  “Wow, this video has so many hits; I’ve just got to see what the buzz is about.”  In result, your YouTube video will get even more views than you have initially paid for, and more and more people are going to be exposed to the marketing message contained in your video.

At http://buyyoutubeviews.com/, you have a choice among six different YouTube views packages.  Ten thousand views cost $40; 25,000 views cost $60; 50,000 views cost $100; 75,000 views cost $125; 100,000 views cost $170; and 150,000 views cost $200.  It is apparent that the more YouTube views you order or buy, the more money you will save.  Moreover, the more views you buy for your YouTube video, the more attractive and appealing your YouTube will be to other YouTube viewers.
