Never thought about it that way...I usually deactivate the comment and rating option on my videos...maybe I shouldn't do that. Do you think the choice of how to name a video is important, too? Hey Todd, I am amongst those german viewers! Seems like my countrymen spend most of their internet time surfing youtube...plus your style of music is kinda popular in Germany! If you want people to see it, naming and tagging are VERY important. The question is whether or not you want to entertain the trolls at your own expense. If you don't want the trolls (or the views) then using the "unlisted" option will allow you to link/embed it freely for REC and MTP entries without the video showing up on any of youtube's searches. I used to simply not tag my "learning to play" videos and that kept trolls and viewers away. The only people that ever saw them were GMC members and ... mom If you really do want people to see your stuff: - tag liberally, anything that might relate to the video! Gear used, song style, techniques used, etc. - spell the name of the famous song that you're covering correctly. - do not use a "backing track" for the copyrighted song you're covering. Play it yourself or risk its removal. - answer questions in the comments. if no questions are asked, just thank people for the kind remarks. The "internet famous" folks are mostly successful by promoting themselves as a brand, they interact with their viewers and with each other. -------------------- ::jafomatic
