Please see my video at mrbrookbend [patio furniture] IN-SEARCH

I'm linked into my adwords account; and set the bids to $1.00 to start -- for in-search, only.
Uploaded vid 2 days ago. My account shows little activity. In fact the stats may be about my views, no one elses. 2 days isn't long but google told me the ad is showing; and we all know if you're doing it right the ads gets hits pretty quick.

So the low hits are caused by:

a. I'm leaving out something
b. Youtube doesn't produce much for my product category
c. other

Can someone take a peek and give me their ideas. I have not seo'd yet and I'd rather not do any kind of display advertising. Not yet anyway. Like to get this going the right way, first. Thanx.
 
Did you want us to look at your "Slideshow1" video? If so, there are myriads of things wrong with it. It's hard for me to even give any positives. First off, your title will get no searches... you have no tags other than your senseless title... and your video, what is it about? It's gruesome to watch past 10 seconds. Your caption editing is hard to read and the video is completely silent.

a. I'm leaving out something.
- Yes, you're leaving out a whole lot of things: creativity, sound, effort, title thought, description, purpose, tags...
b. Youtube doesn't produce much for my product category
- YouTube doesn't understand what your product category is. Make sure your video is more obvious in what it's trying to convey, and you won't need to spend money on your adwords account to generate views.
c. other
- generating views and gaining subscribers takes patience. If you expect to generate tons of views without building credibility and putting effort into your videos, you will be in for a rude awakening.
 
Can't understand why a messg about can't post links or email pops up when there was neither in my reply...?

your title will get no searches I set it up as I do for this category on Adwords. The text in the ad is the same as an
ad I've had in Adwords for many years. It worked it's way to the top for CTR, against many, many ads. I figure why reinvent anything.
I take it my title is: "Cleverest Patio Storage". When I type outdoor buffet, and any of perhaps 10 other keywords, my ad shows.
That was my goal. The keywords are my paid tags, so to speak.

you have no tags... I assume tags are for seo purposes. If so, that wasn't my first move. Paid gets action immediately. I
'm in a seasonal [patio] business so I have no time to wait. There are indeed 300 impressions daily. So I guess people are
searching with the keywords I entered. If the clicks are few then you are right. Wrong title. I would have bet my life a paid ad
in search would have worked identically to ppc Adwords. [You don't know how cheap the vid is til you get there]. I don't have a
budget for a video, incidentally. I'm not doing it myself - the going rate for professionals in $1,000 for 30 sec. I'm trying to
leverage a big investment in photography. A slide show may not get them to my site. But we're dealing with the issue of CTR
right now, unless I'm mistaken.

Your caption editing is hard to read... $29 software. But I must say the Youtube environment is very foreign to me. The navigation
is mind-boggling and senseless at times. Guess I'm getting old.

views without building credibility .. Consumer's Digest has given me plenty of credibility, historically. Why not now? Unless
credibility on Youtube requires more than a testimonial.
