Quicker Rankings Using YouTube?

Like I said, somethings very odd, and the results are definitely gamed, which is why I said it looks like a black hat campaign.

But pageviews wise, I don't know the locksmith industry, but I would have thought London Locksmiths would be quite a heavily searched phrase over 7 weeks.

My maths breaks 20,000 down as 408 views a day, we get an average of 55,000 per day, so 408 seemed alright. But I was basing it on page views not video views, so thinking about it, your right, that is a lot of video plays for lost keys!

But I've been sceptical from the start!

If I were to get

20000 views: $20
500 likes: $28
500 comments: $96

on a youtube video, it would cost me $146, 100% safe and legit. I think I could get a better deal than that if I shop around

Don't want to give them a one-way link

That explains a bit.

Well I never! Must admit I'm a bit green when it comes to YouTube marketing and some of the spammy techniques used. Does indeed make sense now!

From that site you added, saw this quote:

Hmmm, yeah right... real comments! Think I've seen a good example of quality comments

Not really an outfit you want to be associated with... Watch out watch out theres a Penguin about

This is the debate though and frustration in the genuine SEO community. These spammy and black hat techniques have worked very well for such a long time, so it's no wonder so many people are won over

Googles Panda and Penguin algorithm updates are a start, but there's still a long way to go. At least now anyone going down this route is playing Russian Roulette with their website. These techniques will work, but in theory it's for how long, before you are caught out, rather than if.

But if you are in it for the short term though and accept the risks, then there is still a lot of money to be had, which is why we get inundated daily with mediocre and post counting low grade SEO rubbish

Those companies pay people in developing Asian countries(or maybe in others too where they don't have to pay much) to do genuine likes, comments etc who just do it for money and have no interest on products or services whatsoever. I am from subcontinent and I know people who are doing this. I have seen few companies here that offers services only here in UK and had thousands of likes in facebook and more than 95% of them generated in one Asian country.

Companies here pay big bucks for social media campaigns to the so-called agencies and lots of those agencies outsource these which are not what the campaigns were intended for anyway. Agencies here should teach those outsource guys how to do SEO or Marketing the proper way (or hire those who know) and probably pay them more rather than paying pennies for rubbish SEO (I don't blame them as they are doing what they have been told ).

Google will soon hit hard on these (those who are playing the SE through social media activities) as they did on blog and link networks. After penguine and Panda, I think they will go for polar bear this time just to remind it's time for completely white hat SEO (no black and white mixed) though don't think that will ever happen.
