I received an unsolicited e-mail from a YouTube account holder offering to increase my channel exposure, just a few hours after posting new videos to my YouTube channel. The original text is as follows:

(--start of email--)

Nice Video. If you need any help getting your video exposed check out this site called www .tubeviews.net It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 channels up with videos at top in position, this is my forth channel I'm going to working on now.

Sorry for the spaces in between each letter, some reason Youtube will not let you give an actual address in a comment. Real weird well

have a Blessed day!

ps. I really liked your channel!

(--end of email--)

It sounded suspicious to me, especially the claim that YouTube would not allow an actual address in a comment, which is not true; I do so in comments to other YouTubers all the time.

I did a search on Tubeviews.net and read from The Lawyers Video Studio (videoforlawyers.blogspot.com) that it's a pay-for-comment service that claims to buy you positive comments on your YouTube video and/or channel and drive up your rankings so you can be famous. The home page of Tubeviews.net states that "stealth guerilla marketing tactics and little-known insider secrets" the company uses will increase one's channel traffic.

On its home page (www.tubeviews.net), this company offers 5,000 channel views for $13.99, 100,000 views for $105.99, and 500,000 views for $320.99. These are just some of the outrageous offers that will supposedly drive up your ratings and "make you famous", which is emphasized over and over again.

While such viral marketing techniques are unethical but (sadly) not illegal, I was angered that the company attempted to play on my Christian faith to sign up with its service. The clandestine way it contacted me was disturbing too, and betrayed the faith it claims to support.

Some people want to be the next YouTube sensation, like the recent woman who sang from "Les Miserables" on the British TV show "Britain's Got Talent", and are desperate to do anything that will get them exposure. I urge them not to fall for Tubeview's age-old pay-for-play, I-can-make-you-famous scheme, polished and updated for the Internet age.

I also encourage The Ripoff Report to investigate this company and if at all possible, shut them down.

My Final Rebuttal to Tubeviews.net's Owners

AUTHOR: Nana muss :) - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, January 21, 2010

This will be my final comment on TubeViews.net; my original report speaks for itself, as do the rebuttals by the company's co-owner to justify his practices, then shift the blame to someone else for what happened.

Yes, I do have it in for the company behind Tubeviews.net. I and every other consumer who contributes to the Ripoff Report have it in for any company that practices its business in an unethical manner, period. That such a business is allegedly run by a Christian makes it one to especially avoid.

Aloha,

#4 REBUTTAL Owner of company

This will sum everything up.

AUTHOR: Thomas - Owner of Tubeviews - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, January 21, 2010

Yes. I feel that you strongly believe that words I am speaking have no truth to them. I really hate that. See that is why I wanted to speak with you verbally because you can add any emotion to textual words.

I forgot to answer a few of your questions and I am sorry.

First off I can tell this is something that has happened many months ago. I remember we had some problems with some of our affiliates spamming Youtube through Comments. We were actually contacted by Youtube them selves about this and I fixed the problem right away. See tubeviews.net is just an affiliate site. It isn't our main site. There are over 120 affiliate sites or so right now.

That Affiliate is way gone, He did a little bit more then just Commenting. And it really made our business look very very very bad. Trust me, we don't have to comment to get business, we get all of our business from search engines.

I am so sorry for that happening to you, I have had to say sorry to many people back then for this guy Teds doings. Even though he was bring in good cash to the business I still had to let him go. I gave him 1 chance, then he messed up again. That was a very long time ago, I would say well over a half a year to a year.

We spam in no way at all. We bring all of our customers from google,yahoo,msn and bing, That is all we need, we have enough to handle now.

And also, look we are two people in the same exact place. We are both in the Body of Christ. I have been a Music Minister for about 6 years and I would love to send you some of my work God has done through me. It is for the youth. Another thing, that is not a little girl lol, that is one of my Sons. I uploaded it because they asked me to upload a picture.

We both are out here sowing seeds in the same field. I am so sorry I didn't notice that the whole problem was when I wrote you last. I was very busy that day.

This is something that happened a long time ago, and you can search Youtube up and down all around there has been no comments like that that has happened since then. We don't spam, excuses my words but I dislike spammers to the UPMOST!!!!!


And I do feel that you seem to have something against our business maybe. If not I am sorry. But I just want you to know that we have helped a lot of people. Every single time I see that someone is working in the kingdom I give them discounts so very much. I would rather not even charge them. But we have been in operation for oever 5-6 years and have helped so many people. I sow ten percent of my earnings, me and my partner does. I'm not telling you all of that to look good I just want you to understand that we are both Christians here, I have explained now what the issue was and I am sorry about that. i did the right thing and got rid of the guy(affiliate) that was spamming youtube. I am so sorry that you had to be spammed.

I honestly no don't see why we should be hurt by this for something that we didn't do but one of our affiliates did a ways back. Please take that in consideration

Still if you would ever like to speak on the phone, I am more then willing to.

Thanks a bunch

I am not moved; I stand my by original report

AUTHOR: Nana muss :) - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, January 15, 2010

Here we go again. The gentleman who co-owns Tubeviews.net is attempting to defend himself with frothy emotional appeal, trying to bypass our rational minds with a sob story of his commitment to the Christian faith, how I am allegedly persecuting him for his faith, putting words in my mouth how I would see the error of my ways if I contact him, and posting a picture of an adorable little girl. I wasn't born yesterday; this is the oldest trick in the book.


He also says that my original report isn't itself legitimate because I did not purchase his services. I reported Tubeviews.net because, per my original post, I was deeply disturbed by the clandestine approach he solicited my business, circumventing the security measures YouTube has in place to prevent such spam. If he does not promote his business in an ethical manner, the business itself is probably unethical and is not worthy of my hard-earned money.

It has been nearly a year since my original Ripoff Report. For nearly two years I have produced Christian music video slideshows and secular animated short movies on YouTube, Facebook and other major video hosting sites, and without Tubeviews.net's help I have received thousands of views and references the old fashioned way--word of mouth about the quality of my work. My video's didn't go viral immediately, but rather built up their popularity over time, which over the long run is more lasting and solid than thousands of bought comments.

I stand by my original Ripoff Report and pray that the co-owners of Tubeviews.net will repent of their sins of deception and fraud.

#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Report is 100 Percent Not Valid In Any Fashion

AUTHOR: Thomas - Owner of Tubeviews - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, January 15, 2010

Hello, This is Thomas, 1 of two equal owners of Tubeviews.Net

My heart dropped when I read this and my mood decreased very greatly. We have been such a Blessing for so many people it is breath taking. I could not believe my eyes.

First off, this person has "NEVER" even used our Services. I can as well tell that this person doesn't understand what YTSEO(Youtube Search Engine Optimization) is either. Her words clearly states that she doesn't fully understand what are Services are even for. She just repeats words from our Website in a manner of like "Yeah right this isn't real"

I can't believe this. How long has this lady been hurting our legit business with this. I have two beautiful kids that I work every day as hard as I can to keep fed with a house over there head. This ladies Report isn't a Rip off report because to be riped off you would have had to try our Services. Read Very Closely. SHE NEVER HAS!!!

Nana Muss, I am asking you very nicely. Can you please get in contact with me with your personal contact information because I would love to speak with you one on one and explain a few things to you.

This is one of those type of businesses that is so unique and so not found on every corner of internet blvd. that it need to be explained in great great detail. If it isn't it is very easy to be taken in the wrong manner

To her title and statement about Us, Our Business preying on her Christianity. I have been saved for over 14 years and I am a very proud professed Son of The Living God In Jesus Name. I am as well a Music Minister that helps our youth. To feed them the truth and show them that they don't have to walk down the roads I have been down in the past. I'm in the Kingdom of God! How dare her speak that. Only if people would take time to talk to the actual person.

If this person, Nana would just have contacted me, her self, this would have never been wrote and hurt us the way it has. I would have been able to explain everything to her and I promise you, after explaining she would have been like "ooooooooooooooh, ok i'm so sorry, I understand now" If I had a penny for all the times I have heard that.

Nana no hard feelings towards you, but I want you to understand, everyone that has went to look for reviews about us. This is right under our website and I bet you have drove thousands and thousands of dollars away form us. This provides a full living for me and my partner. How dare you Nana, is that what we deserve? Please go study Search Engine Optimization and also go see how many Business are offering Services just as we are now. Hundreds.... Hundreds... The Deman for Youtube Optimization is up the ROOF!

Nana, please contact me with your a way to get in touch with you. I really need to have a further word with you. I want you to understand.

And for anyone reading this, If you wish to try our "LEGIT" services out and need help getting your Videos seen. Mentioned that you came from this Report and you will receive 50 Percent off!

God Bless and I do forgive you nana. I'm sure you did mean well for everyone. But this isn't a RIP OFF REPORT. You have never been a customer of us. Ok?
