(YouTube Slapped Funeral Service)

Welcome to (part 3) of “How To Prevent The YouTube Slap”.
Hopefully everybody fell into one of the prior 2 groups.  But if that is not the case and you actually fell into this category.  Hopefully this will bring the needed help and consolation.

• In this article (part 3) we will be addressing those of you who have had your YouTube account (s) suspended, disabled, or deleted without warning.

• In (part 2) we covered ideas for those of you who have 1 or more active YouTube accounts.

• And in (part 1) we went over some recommendations and ideas on how to avoid the YouTube slap if you are new to Youtube.

Ok, time to get real…
So what happens?  You get a brief little email from YouTube with the news.  So all you can do at this point is email them back.  And you should.  But chances are you will receive back their cookie cutter email stating:
“Your account has been found to have violated our community guidelines.  Your account has now been terminated.  ….you are prohibited from accessing, processing, or creating any other YouTube accounts.  …We are unable to provide specific detail regarding your account suspension or your video’s removal.  For more info on what we consider inappropriate content or conduct while using YouTube, please visit our community guidelines and tips at http://www.youtube.com/t/community_guidlines and our Help Center Article at http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=92486
Regards, The Youtube Team

They do not provide a phone # which leads me to believe they don’t want to work with anyone  to reverse something like this.
You can email the YouTube support desk and request that they reinstate your channels. (There is only 1 case where we have heard of where this worked) but you have nothing to lose by trying.  If they do email you back and tell you “no”, then it’s time to face the facts.

Now it’s time to start over from the beginning.
 

1. The IP address is critical.  You definitely only want 1 channel on your home IP address.  So be sure to get a new IP address from your ISP.  On top of this I’ve actually heard of someone going as far as having a friend who lives somewhere else open a YouTube account for them on their IP address.  Not a bad idea.  Just make sure they personally don’t have a YouTube channel and don’t use this.  You don’t want them somehow responsible for your channel being shut down.
2. Just changing your IP address should be good enough.  But if you can’t get your ISP to give you a new IP address, having a friend open a new YouTube account on their IP would definately come in handy at this point.
3. If both of these options fail than you can look into proxy servers.  These essentially allow you to hide your IP to the rest of the internet (be sure and do your research on them first). Here are 2 examples; http://www.hide-ip-browser.com/ and http://www.hide-my-ip.com/
   (If this is starting to get too complicated google the term “proxy servers” this will educate you on what they do why they do it.  This is just a way to get around the fact that YouTube only wants you to have 1 channel on 1 IP.  Once you are shut down they are not going to allow you to start another account on that IP.  We don’t recommend using a free one just because they are alot slower.  A couple of bucks a month is well worth it to get on the right track with YouTube again.
4. Make sure you create a new email address entirely, that has never before been on YouTube.  Once your YouTube account is suspended so is the email address that was used to create it.
5. Open ONLY ONE account and stick with ONLY ONE on your personal IP address.
   Whatever your link was that was on your personal profile, DO NOT USE THE SAME ONE.  Get a different one and direct people there.
6. Use a new brand, and a new domain start over from scratch.
7. Do not upload any of the saved videos you may have that were on your YouTube accounts that got deleted.  If you do YouTube will find you.
8. Do not use TubeBlasterPro or any YouTube software.
9. Do not use spammy descriptions, titles or keyword tags.
10. Do not purchase views.
11. Do not use Traffic Geyser for YouTube.  We love and use it for other things don’t get me wrong.  By all means use it as much as you want anywhere else.  But just to be safe and not to upset YouTube any more than you may already have.  Don’t use it for YouTube.
12. Make it your point to provide only value and nothing pitchy.  (Like try not to talk about making millions).  Share things more valuable like tutorial insights or how to blurps that will help someone with whatever company they happen to be with.  Tell people they can fill out the form to learn more or find you on this site or that.  But don’t be pitching your product or service.
13. The point to remember is to use your new YouTube channel to brand YOU!
    Keeping this in mind will help to ensure your channel stays active.

Remember these are recommendations.  We do not know all the guidelines and thought processes YouTube uses to determine their moves. This is just about watching and paying attention to what they like and don’t like.  Not trying to play above the law with them.

If your looking to market at Youtube I highly recommend Youtube Traffic System; its the complete package at a very affordable for everyone price.
