WE'RE DOING BADLY ON YOUTUBE - This is just sad

[ronpaulfan]

We own this page: Top Rated News Page (http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=tr&t=t&c=25&l=&b=0)

17 out of 20 videos about Ron Paul


But we SUCK on this page: Most Viewed News Page (http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=t&c=25&l=&e=en_US&p=1) (which is displayed by default)

Zero about Ron Paul



We have to figure out how to increase views to the top Ron Paul videos! It's stupid but the only way to get seen on YouTube is to get to the Most Viewed (http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=t&c=25&l=&e=en_US&p=1) page!

I have been screaming this for a long time.

....."most viewed" is where th money is at.

[homeboyjase]

The only way to succeed at this is to choose one video at a time to view up.

[knappz]

might be a good sign, could mean we got more people on the ground pushin' material then at home on their computers.

[Dutch]

Ok, let's organise. Which video are we going to watch today?

that's right... and this wouldnt be hard to do either.

Someone should make 1 sticky every 3 days or something, telling everyone on this forum to promote and view that video as much as they can in 3 days.

this will easily get us up on that list.

Only the daily charts receive any attention on YouTube. It has to be a recently posted video. Videos fall off the daily charts exactly 48 hours after being posted.

[Geronimo]

I'm surprised that I never saw this Fox piece discussed here on the forums.

It's from 2 days ago.

The problem is when there's a video, there's 10 copies of it by 10 different people that spreads out views.


It is because of how enthusiastic Ron's supporters are for the most part.....

Ok, didn't know that. Can someone more up-to-speed with YouTube please
pick a video with the higest chance of making the list? Then we can watch it
and get it up there. If we can digg, we sure can tube!

From a 2-year youtuber that has watched around 20,000 videos:

The list that gets the most views is the most viewed list, by far. That's true, but the list that gets the SECOND most views BY FAR is the most discussed list, not the top rated. And it's the EASIEST list to get on, but you guys just rate and leave... I always see RP vids with 200 ratings and 30 comments. Take two seconds to type a sentence about the video... Leave more thean one comment. Reply to other positive comments. The most discussed list leads to the most viewed list, at least in part.

The horrible and ironic part about this is that the RP vids that get on the most discussed list are the negative ones, because people want to refute the lies!! So a vid that would have gotten 100 views sometimes (often) gets 4,000. And then the person who made the negative video wants to keep making more videos of lies cause they saw it got them on the prized "most discussed list"

This one has the best chance IMO. It skyrocketed today after being posted.

Great tips

Folks...this campaign has moved beyond the internet.

B.S. That is a fatal misconception.

There is tremendous room for growth on the internet. Ron Paul support there is still but a fraction.

What a great thread. Small, positive, and effective solutions; and good humor for a change.

I support this idea. Running a coupla now..

If you are saying what I think you are saying, most won't hear you - yet...
I tried to warn people since YouTube's inception (same with all the other 'free' spaces) that there is no "free lunch"; that nobody spends that kid of money on bandwidth and management out of altruism. This things are obvious control-mechanisms - gatekeepers. It's a sef-inflicted wound. But freedom will survive that brain-fade too...

There's already an excellent thread with (almost) daily YouTube updates: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=62709

The tools exist - we just have to pick them up and use them. ;)

Thanks, but why the "almost"? I update that thing at least 3 times a day :D

Ooops - I just saw that "All RP media coverage from 12/27/07" headline and took that for the latest update - sorry! You're doing a fabulous job, my friend! :)

Learn how to read. I didn't say it only encompasses the internet I said It has "moved beyond". Wasting time by making sure we have every single video in the top 20 means very little. As long as a few videos are at the top they are there for everyone to see. Now go knock on some doors or something.

[ronpaulfan]

Learn how to read.

Why don't you learn to read? This thread was made to PROMOTE videos then you put in a post saying "Don't do that"

Stop trolling threads.

[jankyflava]

I've seen a few posts like this one in the past and nothing has really been done to fix it... Why not do something very simple like post a video at the top of this forum? Then you could change out the video everyday, and this way people would know which video they need to watch/rate/comment on each day?

Just an idea...

yup its called ATTACking a vid

[AlexMerced]

House of Card is pretty powerful, some the most ardent detractorshad to response to it

[jankyflava]

I'm not suggesting that we stat a new thread everyday, I was thinking that maybe embedding the actual video at the top of all the forums with all the other chipins and fundraising adverts... Is that something the ronpaulforums.com owner could do?

[davver]

Dude, people who use the internet already vote for Ron Paul.

You need to get out there are start converting sheeple in the real world.

house of cards by avaroth...outstanding vid....favorited..
