Boosting CTR via SMM Panel Ruined My Video

[Bio-Hazard]

So, I tried this panel called Social Media Authority who claimed to improve the rankings of my video massively...

I deposited $20 to try as the minimum deposit amount is $20. I wish I could deposit less...

Anyways, they claim that they provide 90%+ CTR...i tried with 2 videos & got 70-80% CTR BUT my videos got totally ruined after trying this...

My CTR is still 74% on one of the videos (yesterday it was 80%+) but my videos were ranking for several keywords in like 10-20 positions...I tried to see what happens if I boost the CTR as the CTR were low on these two videos...

After trying this site's High Retention View services, Social Media High Retention services from FB & Reddit & CTR views, I came to the conclusion that either this site is a scam or boosting CTR will totally ruin your video...

Check the attached proof of my CTR on one of the videos...It's 74% but even after scrolling for 20 miniutes, I still can't find my video on the YT search...Before buying the CTR views, the CTR was 7% & the video was ranking within 10-20 for multiple keywords & now the video can no-where be found for any of the keywords...

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PANEL who also claims that all the views are from real people which obviously is fake...I am tellng because I don't want you guys to lose money like I did...

I still am unable to find a good panel for ranking...My videos are not ranking that higher so I am desperately in the search for one...

And I know several people in my niche using SMM panels because I can see they are ranking high competition keywords at the top of YouTube with just 1-2 month old channels without any channel authority & with like under 100 subscribers...

If anyone of you are able to boost your rankings with new channels, I would be thankful if you can Please message me (if you don't want to share publicly) the names of the services...

well at least the loss was minor, could have been worse.
at least it wasnt your channel they burned .

I hope so. I did not try these views with few of my videos which were already ranking a little higher because I wasn't sure about these CTR views...I really do hope that my future uploaded videos don't suffer because of this...

The owner is present here & I think they have a sale thread too here if I'm not wrong...

My screenshot attached in the main post is the proof itself, that boosting CTR doesn't make a video rank...I got all the views from USA, the CTR skyrocketed but my videos tanked..

So, I thought about creating this thread so that, people who are thinking buying CTR views will hep rank their videos, refrain from buying these views if they see this thread.

P.S. The site name is, Claim Social Authority & not Social Media Authority...Sorry for the typo in the main post...Updated here as can't edit the main post.

I believe that the best way to go about CTR views is getting your own little farm with residential proxies and aged YouTube accounts.
The initial investment would be a little high since you'll need a bunch of RAM to run those but if you got around 32GB you could run around 40-50 instances simultaneously.
The benefit from that is that you are also getting watch time from subscribers so it does help your rankings greatly.
Make sure to follow competitors too and watch their videos on the farm this way it'll get suggested to more people.

Wont the proxy rotating to a new IP every so often not get the account banned or is this fine if you use aged accounts ?

I use static residential proxies, not rotating.

 

[cobra056]

I use static residential proxies, not rotating.

Gotcha, I use rotating residentials, locked to specific profiles that are always in the same country, I should give it a test run to see if it could work as the proxies stick for an hour and change on initiative a new session only (I developed my own viewbot) and on my static datacenter proxies, I used new self made accounts and none have been clapped so far) but ive never tried adding google accounts to rotating proxies (but I just finished coding the part where a profile gets locked to a specific country, so before they would all just jump about) and I get 0 dropped views even with the entire "jumping" about

Sounds like I need to test this

thanks for the info

Did you use his HR service to get good retention?

Yes like I said in the main post already...

" After trying this site's High Retention View services, Social Media High Retention services from FB & Reddit & CTR views, I came to the conclusion that either this site is a scam or boosting CTR will totally ruin your video..."

The CTR views also gave good retention & watch time, the CTR also skyrocketed but my video tanked lol...YT must be detecting the fake CTR views or I don't know what's the reason because this was the very first time I tried a CTR view service.

I tried HR views & Social Media HR views from this panel for my other video & that video lost all its ranks too...

May I know when you ordered the views please?

What i am going to tell here is just my personal experience with such views...
I think most of the times it takes 4-6 days to see full ranking results, during that time period, YouTube checks the video to decide where to put it finally.


Also it seems, that for a video to rank effectively, more views are needed here. 500-1000 views looks not to help much, especially if the number of KWs in the tags section is high. By "more" here I mean something over 7K-10K of views depending on the channel, video and KW competition.

When it comes to ranking, the other point is that YT search algorithm seems to be totally different from YT suggested and BF ones, yes true! But when you feed your video with search views it might temporary affect those negatively. In my experience low YT search traffic seems not to be able to positively trigger those suggested and BF well but can negatively affect those for some days which I think is logical! YouTube seem to evaluate videos based on the history background of the views too.

When I say that "YT search algorithm seems to be totally different from YT suggested and BF ones." I mean it cannot help those 2 metrics to improve, but during injection can make them for down for a while due to the traffic history.

So using such views need some tests to get best results. You yourself told this: "The CTR views also gave good retention & watch time, the CTR also skyrocketed but my video tanked lol"... Which might mean that YT algorithm picked up those if you check your YouTube analytics section!

3 days ago. I posted in the main post just today with an SS that my CTR was 74.1% but now it's 68%.. Is that normal too?? I thought the CTR would remain maintained for atleast a few days??

And why should I buy 7k-10k CTR views when 1 month old channels with no authority & under 100 subs are ranking the same keywords with only a couple hundred views ? They are charging $15 or 1k views btw...

And also my keywords which were ranking within 20, got totally lost after buying CTR views. I can't find my video anywhere on YT by searching for any of the keywords in incognito. Is that also normal?? I don't know because this was my first time buying these views... I bought HR views from other panels also before without any success.

So, after few days my video will start to rank automatically & I have no way to know what will happen until then?? I hope so but I don't think it will happen but I will definitely update this thread in a few days...

Thanks for your detailed explanation but I am not sure if YT can detect fake views vs real views...If they could detect the views as fake, would the CTR still increase?? Not very much aware about how these work...

What I mentioned above was based on my personal experience mate...

Here's the ranking situation for one of my videos I uploaded 11 days ago and ranked it with the such views:

The first tag ranked #1 after 4-5 days for me. It was #5 before that period of time. But some other tags you see there ranked just hours after uploading the video.

I did not test that, but I guess maybe 1K views might make a single KW rank not many ones...
If you count the number of tags in the SS above and also consider the number of views, you"ll notice that non of my tags got anything below 1500 Views. That's why I suggested going with more views.

My suggestion (And again it is based on MY personal experience) is you don't feed a video with other kinds of views just after injecting CTRs. Also I suggest going for "newly uploaded" videos. Such videos can help to harvest the most of the juice!

Finally I suggest you ask them directly whats the matter anyway. Maybe you need to give it more time (Like I did). maybe it is a glitch of some kind, Maybe it is a new YouTube update. I don't know for sure. The guys themselves might know whats going on.

You should try with some more videos before coming to conclusion. Might be some other panel be needed this time to test.

someone was just posting that the best way is to go to one of the micro worker sites and set up a video or picture for them that shows them what to do and your low competition videos will rank right away ... ill see if I can go find it for ya

This is better done with micro workers from a site like SproutGig to find your video and click on it.

Can you suggest me those "some other panels" in PM if you don't have issues with that?? i tried several but they only destroyed my rankings more...

MW asks for 0.11-0.12 for 1 click. Too expensive & my video wasn't boosted even with 125 clicks which I tried last time. Maybe they are only watching 10-30 seconds of it which won't help in rankings at all...

I can only ask to watch 3 minutes of video on SproutGigs & on these MicroWorking sites, even if I ask for SS, many of them would just drag the slider to the end to show that they watched the full video. I am facing this issue with MW sites but I will keep trying...

Well tell them you need a video or a screen record at this point.

 

[Bio-Hazard]

The site admins don't allow that.. If you ask that in the task, they will reject the job & will ask you to pay .20-.30 for 1 task. Already tried...Once I asked them to watch a 4 minutes video in full & the job was declined asking me to pay .05 more... They charge much more for every additional minute of viewing & for every additional tasks...

They bugging, guess you just got to hope they follow through with the instructions.

I think YouTube can detect if your CTR or even watch time is too high or if it is declining constantly which is a sign of fake engagement. What you want is 15%+ CTR + 70% organic insite views and 30% external views with an average watch time of 50%.
