Michelle MacPhearson is one of those rare Web 2.0 marketing innovators in a world where everyone seems to prefer doing the “me too” thing.You might know her name from BadderAdder fame. That was the Myspace friend adder program that was snatched up by thousands of marketers and Myspace members who wanted more friends, faster.
But that’s old news. Now everyone has finally realized the power of video sharing as a link building, traffic driving golden child of the internet. And Michelle is back to help us get more out of our video sharing through YouTube, the 4th highest traffic site on the web.
Enter “Tubeinator.” Dubbed “Video Popularity Software,” Tubeinator allows you to build a much larger network of YouTube friends far faster than the way mere mortals build their YouTube video sharing networks now.
The result is higher views of your videos, more site traffic, and the power to get in front of more of the YouTube community by being more popular.
Harken back to high school. The popular kids had it all. They got invited to the best parties and enjoyed the perks that come with being “it.”
Being “it” on YouTube means your high school is the 4th largest high school on planet Earth, and the perks for being one of the most popular “kids” there are far better than they were for the popular kids in your old school.
Search engines love the video sites, and YouTube is the King of them all.
Links from your videos are treated kindly by the engines because video is much harder to spam, takes more work to produce, and the spammers have yet to figure out how to make spam videos look like real videos with a purpose.
Google surely takes this into account when finding links on video sites, as it does on human-edited directories where spammers are kept at bay by real people who are never fooled by spammers.
Back to Tubeinator. Here’s what it does:
- Add unlimited friends to your account
- Leave comments on other people’s videos
- Save lists of ID’s to work with over and over (import and export)
- Work with as many accounts as you desire
- Check statistics globally and on a per-account basis
- Automatic updates
- Time delay option
- Search and target actions by keywords you select
Can Tubeinator Be Used To Spam YouTube?
Of course. With power comes responsibility and the very big need to keep your account active. Spam YouTube in any way and watch your account go away.
Some people will try setting up multiple accounts, but here’s the rub: Unlike all other forms of Web 2.0 spam where people get banned and simply set up a new account, at YouTube you are dealing with video. Video is BIG and takes a long time to upload. Setting up a new account isn’t as simple as choosing a new username and email address.
The smart user will simply use Tubeinator to boost their friend network and do things they’ve given up doing by hand because it is too time consuming, like commenting on all the videos in their niche to get traffic back to their vids.
Will Tubeinator Last?
Too early to tell, but I guarantee people will abuse it and YouTube will have to take a stand on it in some way. Whether that ruins it for all of us or not remains to be seen.
The tool itself is awesome and it will help responsible Tube’ers bring in incredible amounts of traffic worth far more than the cost of the software by magnitudes.
