Increasing Your Views on You Tube.

I was surfing the net as I often do for new tools to grow my business, when I googled "how to increase my hits on Youtube". To my amazement, I found a few software programs that allowed the user to manipulate the number of hits documented a specific video. I immediately started to wonder how many "popular" videos had been manipulated. Which begged several questions; Why is such a program necessary?  The obvious reason being that everything is up for fraud and that is very sad because now every time I see the staggering number of hits on a stupid "cat dancing on hind legs" video I am going to wonder if it was manipulated. Next I wonder why Youtube does not have a system to track hits and decipher which ones are real and which ones are not. My web host Hostbaby  and my CD distributor CDBaby both have very specific tracking methods which give me daily stats on my hits. Is it because Youtube like television stations can charge advertisers more to advertise on popular videos than obscure ones? I don't know, but it makes me wonder. I have tried to increase my hits by emailing info to people, using keywords that bring the videos up in searches, about once a month I search for info videos on Youtube. I have not figured out how to get huge numbers. I do not plan to manipulate my hits because my videos are not for the mainstream and like caviar, my video productions are an acquired taste.
