Quick question on gaining views via annotations from other channel/videos!

visualmusic · Mar 23, 2014

I have been offered the opportunity to gain some views for one of my videos via annotations on another video that currently has 1.5 million views and it is growing.

Is this practice ok on Youtube? can I get banned? is it against policy?

It is completely relevant to my content/niche btw but I was interested in its usage.

Thank you!

Yes it's safe to do and isn't a violation of their TOS. Have you not noticed that nearly 6-7 out of every 10 videos are now using annotations to move their traffic/views to other videos?

Excellent, my concern was in the fact that the annotation of my video will be placed on a video on another channel all together.

They are currently doing the same for someone else, but that videos annotation is hidden within the main video, makes sense? it is not visible like usual annotations are used, but the other video is gaining views.

Thanks for your response!

Sure no problem, if you have any additional questions feel free to ask and I'd be more then happy to help.
