1 Way to get 1.3 million YouTube hits

October 10, 2008

OK. This is just retarded. Yet, strangely interesting. This video posted on YouTube has 1,286,382 views at the time of this writing.

So what you say? Well, yes, there are lots of videos with obviously viral views and we’d all sure like to have a few!

This guy (fungun1970) has pulled this off by basically tricking people into watching at least some of his video by taking a brilliant Title:

“full version tina fey as sara palin saturday night live”

And using Tags:
“tina fey sara palin saturday night live hillary clinton amy poller”

Certainly, a VERY popular bit of content, right? WRONG!

I will only waste 29 seconds of your time for you to find out why…I would risk the copyright infringement but I’d be curious to see what kind of clicks he’s getting to his MySpace page!
