How do some people get to the top of youtube rankings with no views lol

Hey guys how do you think some of these people are getting to the top of really competitive youtube searches like "youtube marketing" with very little views and ratings.

The guy at the top isn't even using tube automator or tube increaser.

What do you guys think determines how high a video ranks besides # of views, ratings & comments?

Please share your thoughts.

This is a very interesting topic. You'll notice some guys will dominate the first page of the youtube search for certain keywords.

I would pay for this information, so if anyone knows exactly what the steps are and can provide proof please PM and we can arrange something.

with google acquisition of youtube, do you think that perhaps inbound links may contribute to a youtube video's position in the yt serps?

the answer to question is in the stats & data tab below the video player. Notice how there are 6 data sets listed & the one taking up the most space is "incoming links".

Its interesting how the only data/stats there that is'nt displayed in full is the incoming links, they only list the top 5 sites. I really didn't want to let this cat out of the bag.....

Do you want to let the whole litter out of the bag, i see the same two dudes on youtube dominating the two top spots for a search in YT for Cash Gifting with a tiny amount of views. This is what led me to this forum in the first place out of pure determination to figure out what theses guys know. That I would love to know.

They only tell you if you join their cashgifting with them.

Silly question how would you set inbound links? and next silly quuestion for clarification what are inbound links.

Lots of factors come into play.
One of the ways that I have seen a video go on the top is with the number of people linking back to it. Which is easy, for most videos you can embed it on 20-30 bloggers blog and your site will rank on top for linkings.

Another way that really works, is to actually create a script that goes and flags the videos of your competitors from 10-20 accounts, what happens is that youtube has a filter set to number of flags a video will get before taking it down, in most cases they have this filter set to all of the videos, unless you are someone specific and youtube knows about you.

The script can be made with AutoIt, as it is easier and it works to be honest.
