Looks like there is a consensus - forget about the 10k and concentrate on making engaging content. The views will follow

Hey all I have come across the concept of a free traffic-exchange program called ZergNet and am trying to find out more information: Do any of you use it and can provide first-hand information on the pros and cons? I am particularly interested to drive traffic to my YouTube channel but other...

Thank you. This traffic exchange programme (ZergNet) is an interesting new tactic that I've not heard of before. Seems to be free to use too...

What I'm worried about now is that when a video is falsely demonetised its performance is adversely affected even after a manual review overturns the findings...

10k views isn't really a great deal in terms of monetary income and your channel will need organic growth before it starts to grow subscribers and views, so there really is no need to purchase the views. Use the journey as a learning curve to hone your content and SEO tactics...

No-one has answered the query yet - maybe they don't want to let us in on the tactic?

I can appreciate that. I'm just wondering what tactics they use so that I can try and implement on my own channel... it seems to have worked to some extent for them (maybe it played only a small part)

That's an idea - I was thinking of annotations but they don't work on mobile and I would need to remove endscreens. That's certainly an option I'll implement right now!

Hmmm; I might look into a more extensive re-edit that would further justify a re-release...

My worry is that it will annoy existing subscribers seeing the same content uploaded again but I do feel the intro is really hurting the audience retention and thus YouTube is not suggesting it as much as it might have otherwise.

Hey everyone - would appreciate some advice on an underperforming video. I recently uploaded a Star Wars-related video that I expected to do much better but its performance has been underwhelming. Looking at the audience retention stats, there is a HUGE drop-off at the beginning of the video...
