Does advertising affect search ranking?

I've Got It
I had a video with about 50 views and did a $5 advertising campaign. I got about 200 additional views, but no likes or comments.

Will that affect my search ranking for the video? Thanks!
 
I've spent about 30 bucks in all on ads and I didnt notice a difference at all. Once the campaign ended the views stopped and there was very little interaction from them. Barley any comment or subs. I dont think there is a simple answer to how to increase your search options other then SEO stuff perhaps.
 
I agree, advertising is not very profitable unless your channel is either established or your video is outrageously good. My advice? Much better than paying for ads, interact with the Youtube community in a genuine manner. Make friends, leave well thought out or funny comments, help people, etc. To really build a community, you must become part of the community.
 
I have tried advertising my videos through YouTube and whilst you'll see an increase in views on the videos you are promoting, the actual conversion rate on turning them into subscribers for your average channel just isn't worth the expense. I've since stopped trying to promote the videos that way, and instead take to social media and commenting on other like-minded videos to get the brand awareness out there to the people I'm looking to target.
