Argh
I'm an idiot
As I said I didn't believe what the panel said was true. It is one of the biggest [if not biggest] of the panels that advertise here on BHW
Anyway - I used them. For:
YouTube | Views from Related Video - 50k Max

Maximum Order: 50,000

Views can generate extra views, likes, subscribers, this depends on your video quality. Views are coming from real active Youtube users, that's why it's completely safe for ads, and it increases the rank of the target video.
I got 10k views
It took around three days
The retention rate was obviously awful. There wasn't a single like/dislike or subscriber. I would say these were 100% bot views.
That was what I expected. The panel is out and out lying about what they provide.
Here's why I am an idiot, not for the views being faked... As I said, that was what I expected. But I wanted to boost the number to 10k+ views because I want to refer to the video in another one and if it only had 300+ views it would 'forever look rather pathetic' in the new video.
No, I'm an idiot, because I didn't even think about the monetization of the video. If I had of thought about it - I would have switched it off while these views were added. But it didn't even cross my mind. I most certainly did not intentionally leave the monetization on. Argh.
My worry now is that AdSense will cancel my account/ban me.
I have noticed that the first two days worth of 'money' has come through. So I have been given 'ad money' for those two days of these views. How likely am I to get banned [from adsense]. I guess they will take away the 'money' I have been 'given' from these views.
I just wish I had of thought. I really didn't think about this for a second. It just didn't even occur to me. I wasn't thinking about the money coming in. I am such an idiot.
As the panel lied about these being real active users... I can't believe them when they say, "it's completely safe for ads" - anyone know if 10k views over three days is too big of an alarm bell. Or if caught, do they just remove those views and give you a warning? And how long after the fact - do they catch up with you. I mean if I haven't heard from them [about being banned] after a week, have I been lucky and I'm in the clear?
Thanks
