Default Hijacking Other People's Youtube Vids

Never tried it before, and I don't know if it'd risk my account getting banned.

I'm getting into promoting clickbank products via youtube, but I was wondering about that...

If I use, say a tool like Affiliate Hijacker and hijacked some vids belonging to other youtube members, watermarked them or added my own link there and posted them on a new account of mine made for that specific niche.... what is youtube policies regarding this?

What if I choose vids that don't have credits clearly stated in them? Then add my link to them....

Oh my God! How can you live with yourself suggesting such a thing! You would actually hijack someone's videos? That's like breaking into their house and stealing their children!

Think of the children!!!!























Ha! JK, man. I do that several times a week and never had a problem. Works good, too.

Here's a neat trick for you: add a frame at the very end with your url saying "Go To [your URL] For (free access/free trial/whatever)" and let it run for 30 seconds or so. People will often just sit and stare at that frame for half a minute or more waiting for something else to happen and your URL is being burned in their brain. Sounds stupid, but it works.

Oh yeah, and be sure to make multiple accounts just in case. Plenty of info on that here, just search around.

Ok guys, but what if youtube or Google who owns yt reports me to clickbank and got me in trouble... ever happened before that you get reported to your affiliate network for ripping other people's vids off?!

Ok, there are these powerful tools like tubeautomator to increase your rankings and such... but wouldn't lots of views in short time raise suspicions?

Actually it seems all social media is quickly (or has) become just a large spamfest, I wonder what's on the other side.

I give google a year at most before all those sublinks from high ranked sites are gone.

Seriously man... banned? Ofcourse, it makes sense... but I can't "rinse and repeat" as I was planning to use my main CB account...

All my followup serieses are made with my main account's hoplinks.... that is why I'm asking as I am too lazy to start the extra accounts game.

Ok, something else:

Has anyone tried uploading the same video multiple times, each time with diff title and tags?

Yup. Works, but only if you tweak the vid a little. Adding time to it is the easiest way. If you use my other suggestion a couple of posts up, you kill two birds with one stone. Add 60 seconds of a screen with your URL + encouraging words for users to visit on one, add 90 seconds to another, add 115 seconds to another, etc.

Hell, I've been known to add three minutes of additional time of just a screen showing my URL saying something like:

"If you don't visit w*w.[My*Awesome*Site].c*m then you WASTED YOUR TIME watching this video! Your time is more valuable than that! Go to w*w.[My*Awesome*Site].c*m now and see what you've been missing!!!"

I tend to say all kinds of crazy shit...anything to get them from YouTube to my site where they belong.

you could hijack other vids....but lately i've found posting some stuff of your own...or mixing your own stuff gets more responses from the tubbies
