Hello.. I would like to confirm this.
I want to create a landing page for a video. But I dont know if it will count the views. Do you know if this can get the video freezed?
Thanks in advance guys!
 
I don't know. But I'm up for contributing a little $ for a test with you.

I certainly know that autoplay embedded videos stopped working a while ago.

well your certainly wrong

i have an embedded video from youtube which autoplays on my website
 
As for the views going up im not sure if they count or not as its not my own video
 
search it on google, there is a ton of people that has asked this...

"The answer is yes. If you Embed your video at different website or blog, and if any user watch the video from that blog/website, youtube will count the video as viewed.

Remember, view will not count if the user just only browse the page. The user needs to click the play from embed player. You can do a trick here. Make the embed code as auto play. So that whenever the user will load the page, the video will be played automatically, and you'll be granted a view count."

Sorry, I meant that autoplay views from embedded videos don't count. Youtube only counts autoplay views that are [Youtube] internal i.e. channel page etc...
 
i dont think it does cause i tried it with traffic exchange sites and my views didnt go up.
 
So there are different answers, I did a test about this, redirecting traffic to youtube video to be autoplayed there, but when I redirect the domain, on PPC campaign counted like 100 views from 1,200 impressions.
Im a little confused about the autoplay in embeded.
 
Only the channel featured video will count the views on autoplay.
 
Why don't you guys buy traffic from ****** directly to your videos? :confused::confused: it costs 1$ for 1k...

uuu big guru secret.... :ban:

****** doesn't work with youtube directly, though you can still embed a video with auto play on a website and get some views
 
one day it worked for me last month, the next day it stopped lol
 
So why not send ****** traffic to your channel page, with the video you want featured there and set to auto play?

I dont think that could work, Linkbucks deny that.. but Maybe ****** will allow it, we have to try.
 
embedded autoplay doesn't give you views

That's what I thought too but I when I have a look at the stats on youtube for one of my embedded videos it says 9/27/11 First Embedded on - (webpage) 1,603 views.

I take this to mean that 1603 views have originated from that webpage since it was embedded?

The website has only had about 1000 visitors during that same period.

I used a different embed code than standard. One that has it autoplay and loop as well as remove the controls and the watch on youtube logo.

If autoplaying embedded youtube videos don't count as views then where are the views coming from?
 
There is a script which will play hidden vids in iframe (1*1x) in the background on your page.

I tried it once, and all counted as "views" on youtube. So yes it works.. ;)

Here are the script guys!! ;)

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
    var sLocation = document.referrer.toLocaleLowerCase();
    //Links to boost
    var rDomains = ["youtubeurl-to-videoid-here"];
    //Allowed domain referrer
    var aDomains = [".com",".net",".org"];
    var valid = 0;

    //Valid referrer
    for (i=0;i<aDomains.length;i++) {
        //Check referrer
        if (sLocation.indexOf(aDomains[i], 0) > -1) 
        {
            valid = 1;
            break;
        }
    }

    //Valid referrer
    if (valid == 1) 
    {
        //Loop
        for (i=0;i<rDomains.length;i++) {
            //alert(rDomains[i]);
            invisibleWindow("mydiv" + i,rDomains[i]);
        }
    }

    function invisibleWindow(iframeID, url) {
        divel = document.createElement("div");
        divel.id = "div" + iframeID;
        divel.style.width = "5px"; 
        divel.style.height = "5px";
        divel.style.visibility = "hidden";

        //Add div
        document.body.appendChild(divel);

        domiframe = document.createElement("iframe");
        domiframe.id = iframeID; 
        domiframe.src = url;
        domiframe.style.width = "5px"; 
        domiframe.style.height = "5px";
        domiframe.style.visibility = "hidden";

        var divid = document.getElementById("div" + iframeID);
        divid.appendChild(domiframe);
    }

</script>

Just switch out the youtube url above to your video.. And see the results
var aDomains = [".com",".net",".org"]; means that it only counting autoplays from any of following domains (.COM, ORG, NET) :) Ofcourse u can add more such as ".info" etc
