So lately, there have been a lot of threads, especially from newbies, about their accounts being mass banned.
Here is my little guide about how to avoid this in the future.

1. Get proxies. No shared public proxies, but private ones. They are not that expensive and everyone can afford them, they are ranging around $1 per proxy and you can create 1 - 3 accounts with them.

2. When you have your proxies, download Firefox Portable, here: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

3. Then close all instances of Firefox you can possibly have running.

4. Install the portable Firefox and put in your fresh new proxy. Then, install this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/

5. Install the addon, then restart Firefox and then restart it again.

6. Then go to Gmail and create your account and store your login information. Yes, create Gmail account, don't go straight for youtube.

7. For EVERY single account use FRESH installation of Firefox Portable. Never EVER create multiple accounts from the same Firefox Portable.

8. NEVER run multiple instances of Firefox Portable at once, because you can get hit pretty easily. And everytime you close your instance, there will be a question from Better Privacy plugin about whether you want to clear cookies and stuff. Press OK, because you really want that.

- Yes, you can also do this with VPNs, but I am not fan of those and if you want to get your accounts banned, VPNs are a good way how to get there. :) If you really have to then buy some underground, not that well known VPSes. If you will buy HMA VPN, then take a little piece of paper, write there "My Youtube Accounts", then go to the bathroom and flush it down the toilet. Cause that's what will happen sooner or later.

- Forget about your dynamic IP address and restarting router and using CCleaner or something, get proxies. If not, repeat the process with paper and toilet.

- If you use heavily copyrighted content or if you are breaking youtube ToS heavily, then you will get banned sooner or later. Nothing can help you there.

- And for sake of mankind, don't upload 53 videos per account. Think about how expensive your video ranking is and what quality your videos have and upload from 1 to TOPS 10 videos per account.

- And little really important thing. If you are redirecting your traffic from videos to your website and you are breaking youtube ToS, use link shorteners. NEVER put your domain URL there. Cause it is fairly easy to search your domain in youtube search and guess what? Yes, all your videos will come out. And I do not know who you are or what do you want, but your competition will find you and it will flag-rape your videos.

- Also, don't use ANY footprint. If you use the same phrase for each of your videos, like "Buy this awesome mega hardcore shite now!" etc, your competition can search that phrase and it will again... flag rape you. So diversify as much as you can.

Hope this will help you at least a bit.
 
if you have the same link in the description to your site in multiple videos could youtube trace that and mass ban?
 
This is spot on, couldn't have said it better myself. It's potentially a bad idea to post this because people stealing others videos will take these tips and play the super dirty way.
 
Would waiting a week before adding views and likes just to see if it's band without doing anything be a good idea?

No, your competition can trace you to mass flag you and you will get deleted eventually.

True that bro. Protecting your videos is a different chapter though and if thieves can't rank them, it doesn't really matter if anyone will steal them or not.

Waiting with views after upload is a bad idea overally. Add views and likes and everything as soon as you can.
 
Very good and detailed guide. The part with the portable firefox is genius.
 
Thanks and rep given. Good private proxies are the only way to scale

About number 7: does it mean you use multiple instances of Firefox portable, i.e. one for each account?
 
Glad you like it guys. :)

Exactly. 1 account = 1 FF Portable.
 
Oh and one more important thing I forgot... do NOT buy accounts. Always create your own if you want them to last.
 
Can you still create accounts with the incognito method? Or is there something else...
 
Exactly what i needed. Thank you very much.

Question: does every FF portable has its own settings? So per yt account 1 FF protable?
So in theory i can have many FF portable open and manage my account that way without setting a footprint?

I wouldn't bother with incognito method. Incognito just doesn't save your cookies etc., but you leave footprint as big as a hydrogen bomb. I do not recommend it.

Yes, every FF portable is a stand alone browser with it's own settings. It has everything that regular FF has.
No, you can't have multiple of them opened. It won't allow you to open another FF portable, if you already have one running. But you can have regular FF running + portable FF running, but in that case, FF portable will COPY settings from the main FF and you really do not want this. 1 FF opened at the time. When you close it, press Ok, so that better privacy plugin can remove your cookies and crap and just then start another instance. 1 FF at the time and you are good to go.
 
Great share. I'm already seeing the good effects of this method just now.. uploading is continuous without those nasty roadblocks. Thanks!! +rep for being generous to share valuable knowledge. Cheers!

Reuploading the same video over and over again without any change is a really really bad idea. :)

i did do changes... i re rendered it with like a different time. and changed title... =/
i even made the video again on the same site.
still egt deleted
 
If you just "rerender" it slightly, it won't matter. Youtube will still recognize it.

Let's have a test.

Upload a video, see what thumbnails will youtube give you.
Then, delete that video.
Then make slight changes to the video and reupload it again.
And guess what? Youtube will still give you the same thumbnails, so it knows, that it is the same video.

Youtube is smarter than you think. :)
