What's the best way to get your video seen on youtube?

[Jesus]

I just uploaded a video and want to get some views. No, I'm not going to spam comments and messages. That looks unofficial

[...]

add a lot of tags,

1. comment on a bunch of videos (like... literally, A BUNCH of them)
2. send out friend requests
3. make response videos to popular videos.
4. publicize on social networking sites (i.e. facebook, twitter, myspace)
5. join online forums to publicize your videos (i.e. squidoo, hubpages)

here is an example of a squidoo page:

AND DO NOT USE AUTOMATED SOFTWARE. It is costly and trust me, you wont get the same satisfaction w/ program "watching" your videos and making your views skyrocketed!!!!!!!!
