YOUTUBE BRINGS THE HAMMER DOWN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
SeattleWashingtonUnited States of America July 14, 2011 -- Recent changes to YouTube's Servers and the way they handle incoming views have resulted in many disgruntled YouTube users, frozen view counts, and the disruption of services offered for many online view count providers.

In March of this year YouTube changed the algorithm that is used to identify and validate views made to videos on the ever-popular YouTube.com site. These changes were aimed squarely at the prevention of view-fraud. Many companies have made a killing using scripts, software, and questionable tactics to gain thousands of views for the right price. YouTube's position on this was made clear by the recent change, as it has eliminated the use of these scripts, software boosting techniques, and many other methods used by view boosting companies. 

An unfortunate side effect of the change is that not all real views are being counted either. Many users woke up on that fateful March morning to find their view count frozen solid at 300, where it remains to this day. 300 is the view count that YouTube has deemed as the point at which they implement more advanced view counting on the server side. If the server cannot validate the views as legitimate they simply don't count, and if they don't keep flooding in the count may never pass the 300 mark. This has understandably frustrated many users and for some was a strong incentive to switch to a different social video network, such as Daily Motion or Meta Cafe. Regardless of where they choose to relocate their content, not having any of it on YouTube will greatly reduce their worldwide presence.

A handful of YouTube Promotion companies have made it through this change with flying colors. We were able to get a quote from long-time view provider Dark Cloud Promotion in regard to the recent change. They had this to say:

"While we certainly do understand the frustration felt by the users affected by the new view counting methods we think this was a necessary move on the part of Google. It is crucial that views are correctly counted. The change has had no effect whatsoever on our business as we have always offered 100% organic views from real users. The companies that are still offering promotion are using a similar method. Essentially YouTube has gotten rid of the bad apples in the barrel."

Dark Cloud Promotion also offers custom press releases and distribution to more than 20 other video sites, this approach to promotion is certainly the difference. Mediablitzz, another view provider that takes a similar approach, made some interesting changes to their service offerings following the new view count policy. They are offering a smaller number of YouTube views and YouTube promotion for the same amount they were previously charging, and they aren't the only company following this path.

Despite how you may feel about the recent changes YouTube has made to view counting you can't deny their commitment to ensuring the videos posted are getting real views.
