My Youtube Comment Voting Strategy (18)

My Youtube Comment Voting Strategy

So, there is this little blackhat method that I do from time to time when I need some money. It's pretty time consuming and can be frustrating to execute, but has brought me $200-300+ profit per day on good days and there's only a few expenses. I really don't enjoy doing this method, but for now, it's the only thing making me a profit and I need to build up my capital for testing paid traffic strategies.

The method involves getting your comments into the "top rated comments" section of popular youtube videos, by voting up your own comments with a fresh supply of proxies and accounts. I have had success promoting email submits for things like ipads, as well as ringtones on popular music videos.

My comments say something like "thumbs up if you got the ringtone from my channel", and then when people go to my channel they see a link to my ringtone domain, which ultimately just links them to a flycell offer targeted to the band or song in the video I'm commenting on.

I can explain precisely how I do this, step by step, if anyone is interested, but for now I'm just looking for a little advice.

My question is, If you were able to write top rated youtube comments, and get traffic from just about any popular youtube videos what kind of strategies would you try?

I feel like there could be a gold-mine here, I just haven't found it yet.

Are you using geo-ip redirect to redirect users to correct offers? This way you could earn little bit more

VERY nice job, $200-300 a day isn't money to ignore. I've been experimenting with a couple content locking methods from there myself with moderate success. They sell a lot of unique programs on other forums that allow them to go viral

That's cool. I haven't tried content locking yet, but I've seen a few people doing it on youtube so I assume there's some money in it.

I can explain precisely how I do this, step by step, if anyone is interested...
^^ Write it up!! Interested to see how it works even if I never used it.

Someone posted awhile ago about using a method like this to push cell phones through Amazon for $50 a pop commission.

I also read somewhere about a guy having decent success getting traffic from fitness videos (px 90 maybe) to a pre-sell to clickbank.

I think you should shoot for a higher ticket item.

I would also be interested in a write up.

Ya write it up! Sounds like a cool method.

Where do you get your accounts from?

$9000 / month from comment spam? Good job!

I would think a easy short form work from home lead would do exceptionally well. Also someone new and niche

Some details would be great

I had a program programmed about 2 years ago that did this. It would need updated for it to work again but it's multithreaded and runs on cron jobs. Made a nice chunk with it. If anyone wants it shoot me a PM. But it would def require some updating because YouTube changes tokens and IDs every few months it seems

I did this a few months after Youtube switched to the thumbs system, spam detection's no doubt got a lot tougher, but here's a run down;

1. Buy private proxies (anonymous-proxies.net's good)
2. Use Firefox and load the proxy (options>advance>network>settings)
3. Now your browsing with the proxy's IP - create a Google account (Make sure you disable flash & javascript so they have no way of accessing your real IP)
4. Do some regular Youtube tasks, liking videos, sub'ing, comments, so there's no obvious footprint...
5. Repeat with all proxies, making sure you run CCleaner between each account switch. (So accounts can't be linked)
6. Take time making these seem real, they will be your thumbs up accounts (no promotion)
7. Using the same method make another account you can expect to get banned (a throwaway account)
8. Use this account to post comments and the offer link on your channel (works best with domain re-direct to offer)
9. Comment on a video using you're own unique angle.

Now just use the same proxy switching method to log back into the accounts and thumbs up the comment - Leave a few minutes between each switch.
If Google keeps asking you to verify your account via mobile, you'll save a lot of time buying accounts from reputable providers on forums.


Once you find a profitable angle, it'll be worth your while getting a a bot coded to automate it.

1. Buy a domain like "freeipad3.com". Redirect to free ipad offer
2. Find a youtube video (about ipad 3) that have high visitors/views
3. Commenting to that video something like, "hey, i just got a new iPad 3 free. Visit freeipad3.com"
4. Buy "comment likes" on fiverr.
5. Done
