Hello,

I would like to ask you for some Help/Idea.

Youtube views ?

Many Thanks,

You should first check how a video gets a new click at a time. As far as I know, it only adds 1 click per IP, and also someone told me it only adds the click, if you played the entire video, not just enter and leave the video.

Im not sure if you can write a script or something like that. As for a start, try adding good tags to your video, like "BMX FAIL PRO TRICKS BIKE SKATE"....etc etc etc so people looking for that videos gets into yours!
Btw you can also post here the link and I could increase you 1 more click

See you benz!

hess

First of All i would like to thank you for your answer,

I've already done some researches and tests related to the Youtube view counter and here's what i got until now :

YouTube counts videos as they are started. In as little as 5 seconds (i.e., if you only watch the first 5 seconds of a video), your video count is incremented. It could be less. I tested 5 and it worked. That’s enough for me.

Also from my research, I’ve come across a little hitch in the incrementing logic that says somewhere around 300 views (some people say at 308 views), YouTube freezes your view count while it starts sniffing around for view fraud.

My guess is that views are updated on an hourly or daily basis. So it could be off until the next time youtube does a calculation on the number of visits. My guess is that this is due to avoiding duplicate views for the same IP Address. It's using cookies as a way of determing if it's unique view as well.

So i tried writing a little automated script to :

- Connect to a VPN to got me a new IP adress
- Launch The Video using Firefox on -private mode (to not store cookies)
- Sleep for 10 seconds
- Disconnect from the VPN
- Go to step 1

But it looks like this is not working very well.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Benz,

if that's the case, why not write a script that accesses the page via the tor network? just be sure to get the correct referrers etc in the headers. also, not sure whether this is applicable but check to see whether TOR traffic gets filtered out and omitted, but i don't think that should matter. good luck *click*

EDIT: if you use vb or c.net, you can create your own TOR-proxy-using code that doesn't rely on firefox. or chrome. or ie for that matter.

needless to say I suggest you make ABSOLUTELY SURE it's untraceable, because usualy in these kind of contests they do check the validity of the numbers and you don't want to get your brother disqualified.

Hello There,

Thank you for your answers, so just to let you in the loop. Here's some findings

There was an exploit on Youtube views until it got patched last month.
Someone released a bot based on that exploit and started sharing it. That ruined the trick as ppl started abusing the exploit and Youtube had to patch it quickly ( you can check Some videos that gone viral lately like the sitting frog thing and in the Insight you'll see how many mobile views, sometimes over 20Mil)
The exploit was based on their rtsp streaming server not checking for ips, hence the exploit.
Also found out that youtube views is a niche where a lot of people used to make money selling views for YT partners ...
Ill keep looking into it hopping to find something interesting, Oh and if anyone got some ideas don't mind sharing please

Benz,

Well as i stated before this was "patched" a couple of weeks ago, but there is still a way around it.

The bot should most likely view the rtsp version of the video, have many randomized mobile user agents, an extended view time, & whatever else needs to be implemented for this to work.

It should be able to deliver at least 100,000 views a day.

I guess i have to create a Challenge about that

I am looking into the script of the last working bot, wich some ppl updated and got it working again. So any skilled programmer around willing to help please notify and ill post it

Cheers,
