Getting random views

Beastby said:
Dayum! That is a lot of views :p

And yeah it does suck a little.

I just put the lack of interaction down to them not actually being on Youtube. If you're not on Youtube you don't really think "I'll leave a like". After all, you're only passing by.

Yes you are probably right :) At least my video is higher up the ranks now, but I do have a rediculous views/subscribers ratio :p

I've just had this happen to me. I made a video back in March and just a few weeks ago it started getting views and still is. I went from about 400 views to about 10,000, and it's still going.

Turns out the video was embedded on a website called SkidrowReloaded, which after hunting it down is a cracked games website. Whoever uploaded the game used my video as the preview. Games are heavily pirated in Russia so it's no surprise why most of the views had come from there too :p

I've got a handful of subs from it but nothing crazy. I don't agree with the use of my video but I'm not complaining, high views means high search ranking so actual viewers will come that way.

Sidenote: If a video is embedded somewhere the likelihood of receiving comments, likes and subscribers is quite low as the people watching aren't on Youtube to properly interact.

Bruh, your video's called "Bewbs, Zombies & Beer - Zombeer Gameplay" ....not gonna lie but the title gave it away to the first Russian gamer that had an account in SkidrowReloaded to blow it up for you.

So i have 15 subs and I uploaded a video last week and received 500 views. That sounds awesome on paper, but aside from the views nothing else happened. No dislikes, likes, comments, or subs from this random spew of views. This puzzled me so I checked out my stats. Out of the 500 views 3 of my subs watched and the rest of the views came from Russia... and for some reason most of them watched the entire video without clicking away, they didn't leave a trace of themselves lol Is there something going on that i don't know?

I don't think I will ever track down where my video was embedded. its cool that someone shared it to their Russian friends. I hope it made them forget about Putin and cold weather for 12 minutes.
 
In the traffic source you should be able to see if those views were referral, direct, embedded. That will give you a better idea. Even better is if you linked your account to google analytics you get slightly more insight on your traffic sources.
