I beg to differ mate.
With ads, you never really know who your video gets shown to.
Unless you control it 100%.
Let me share my thoughts.
Adwords YouTube views
~ Sigh ~
Everyone and their mother seems to be selling these types of views. It's the bane of my existence, it should be for you too and
here's why ~
Before we get into it, there's a bit of a caveat to this which I'll also touch on, but for all intents and purposes, Adwords YouTube Views only serves ONE purpose, and that is to increase the view counter.
At least the ones that you buy from Tom, Dick and every other Harry on the Interwebs.
I'm already hearing it:
"Dude
, shut up you don't know what you're talking about"
"Dude
, whatever"
"Dude
, you're hurting our business"
"Dude
, you suck"
Fair enough. Just hear me out.
See, there is a BIG difference between doing your AdWords views yourself or buying it from "
thenextbestsmmpanelintheworld.com".
There are of course some good Agencies out there that don't apply to these scenarios, but we all know that most of you buy from the dude with the long-ass website address above.
Here's what happens when you pay your hard-earned money over to "
iamthebestatstealingyourmoneyandprovingshittysmmservices.com".
Scenario 1
Accounts are created on Google. They are then used with very small campaigns (mostly personal) to warm the accounts up.
We're not talking about 1 or 2 accounts here. We're talking a LOT.
Once these accounts have been warmed up, here's what happens next:
Your resident YouTube "
hero", then bumps up the max bids for these campaigns while loading new orders. Google starts sending views, but when it tries to charge the cards, it fails. Google then retries again, and it fails again.
This goes on for a while until Google had enough, then bans the accounts.
You may or may not get views.
#sorryforyourloss
SIDENOTE: Unless your vids are age-restricted, don't let these clowns tell you that your video caused their bans or whatnot.
There are of course those that use stolen accounts, create campaigns and when these cards are blocked and refunded, again, accounts get banned and views stop.
Again,
#notmycircusnotmymonkey
Scenario 2
If you're one of the lucky few to buy from a "supplier" that doesn't fall under scenario 1, here's what happens:
When you buy Adwords views, the ONLY thing you're getting that's worth something, are views.
"
But Dude, they guarantee subscribers and likes"
That may be, but here's the caveat...
When you pay $2.50+ per 1000 views for these views, you're getting views delivered from the cheapest countries (Vietnam, India, etc.) in the world.
You also absolutely
DO NOT get your videos displayed on videos in the same niche as yours.
- You DON'T get any watchtime (yup... Google even confirms this)
- You DON'T get retention (even if they tell you that you're getting retention)
- You DON'T get any of those views to count towards your YouTube Partner Threshold
- You DON'T get any ranking benefit
And those subs and likes?
The largest demographic watching these vids are kids. And kids are so damn unpredictable that you're bound to get a sub and a like here and there.
Just trust me on this.
The same holds true even if you buy for a certain GEO or language.
Your video about gardening shows up as a pre-roll on a video about some new graphics card.
Do you honestly think these views will benefit you in the slightest?
Heck no.
In other words, there's really no point in spending money on these views and if you don't believe me, try and let me know how it goes.
