Good luck - A friend of mine tried using their service.

They paid and usocial never did anything. Tried contacting them at multiple emails, twitter and even had their credit card processing company try to contact them. Never successful in gettign what they bought delivered.

Either way it's a great way to get your website and accounts banned...

Hi there,

A bit of feedback from a former 'user' of usocial.net.

We are a British company that used usocial.net to buy 1000 ‘fans’ for a newly created Facebook page (I Love Skiing)
for around ~£120, more out of curiosity than anything. Due to the nature of the Facebook page I wasn't concerned about being duplicitous, after all, I didn't expect anyone to be coerced into joining a fansite that they were disinterested in.

The campaign was superficially successful, with a large influx of fans joining. However, despite telling usocial.net that we are UK based and wished to have UK based fans (which they ask for), the fans we gained were all American. So while we gained pure numbers, we diminished our relevance and simply wish we hadn’t bothered.

I hope this helps.
Tim

Couldn't agree more. If your video is horrible to begin with, all the optimizing in the world isn't going to make it popular. You'll just have a really shinny turd.

Although such a service appears to be attractive to kick-start your video marketing efforts, it is comparable to using a click or link-farm to artificially boost your SERP-position in Google. Whereas it may be effective, you are playing with fire. If Google finds out, your account can be closed down.

More likely, however, such efforts will result in a sudden spike which activates the 301-benchmark (unless USocial spreads them out evenly over a longer period). At 301 views, the counter gets stuck until the algorithm is satisfied that at least that number of views have been genuinely generated (from what I've understood reading several blogs/forums).

Furthermore, what you effectively do is taint your own statistics to the extend that they become not so "InSight"-ful as your clients need them to be.

All-n-all it is not about generating a million or a billion views - successful video marketing is about generating the right kind of views with the right audiences.

You can look on the bright side of it - If you create something really good - among 5000 people it can be spread and be viral. (in case these 5000 are real human people...)

Shouldn't be done, and can't be done are two very different things.

Let's get specific. You are paying for search placement, not views. If these paid views improve placement then it is worth it, to kick-start your kick-ass video!

As an "insider" with rigging youtube numbers back when autoplay counted as a view, paying for views only helps if the video is worthy of going viral. If not, it's a waste of money. With so many videos being uploaded every second, it's impossible for an unknown to get attention with the way YouTube chooses to feature "what's hot." It's like paying for a headstart. If you can't keep up with the best then youre going to lose.

Paying for video views is like paying people to attend a funeral. You'll have a large crowd of people that don't care and won't remember you.

Pointless.

Amen Jeremy.... White-hat all the way. Even Google stated that searches are "based on relevance to a particular query and cannot be influenced by third parties, beyond producing good content and ensuring it is labeled or tagged correctly".

Fortunately, there are 2 white-hat ways to "buy" more YouTube views... 1) Of course - is YouTube promoted videos, which we've talked about in the past. 2) A new service that I'll tell all the readers about in the near future - totally legit, white-hat, and leveraging social media....

But the type of service that you covered here is CRAP... A good rule of thumb here is, if they say, "sorry, that's a trade secret," then they are doing something that shouldnt be done....
