There are many Internet marketers who use YouTube to promote their products. Several years ago (in 2011), an Internet marketer could easily create a YouTube video and promote it by posting the URL in relevant videos. These days, it’s not as simple as “posting the link in a comment” since YouTube has become strict in recent years and has begun ghosting comments. Fortunately for you, there is a way you can learn how to post comments on YouTube without triggering YouTube’s hypersensitive moderation system.

How To Post Comments On YouTube

Do not use URLs in your comment

It doesn’t matter if the URL is to your website or to another website. If YouTube suspects that you’re posting URLs, there’s a good chance your comment will become ghosted or marked as spam.

Do not post the same comment twice

This triggers YouTube’s hypersensitive spam filter.

Do not Use A Sentence You Used In A Previous Comment

This also triggers YouTube’s hypersensitive spam filter.

Do Not Copy Another User’s Comment

Do you remember the “Bob is building an army” meme from 2013(if not, then view the image at the top of this article). Well, these Bob comments were copy and pasted on nearly every video on YouTube because Google+ was required to post a comment on YouTube. In an attempt to combat this, Google decided to sweep every comment that even had some semblance to another comment under the rug and just outright “ghost” any duplicate YouTube comment.
