Sometimes these sites just do this stuff and then get on the high horse when you protest. I read of a guy who used PayPal; he ran a successful marketing campaign and heaps of people went to his site. PP saw a spike in activity with his account, assumed that it was suspicious and, without trying to contact him, froze the account for 6 months.

SydneyGeek,

It's a bunch of BULL!!!...i think youtube has nothing to do so they'll just go pick on the little guy...i mean "Mr Excel" shouldnt have gotten ban! he fallowed all the rules and regulations..nothing is (was) wrong with his account...there are THOUSANDS of p**n,abuse,bomb making, etc..type videos on youtube and they have been on there for YEARS!...so i think youtube just picking on him because they can and there's really isn't anything he can do..what is your take on it?

Thanks!

I think it's to do with advertising his books and stuff on there......they like paid for that kinda stuff and maybe mentioning it so often in his youtube blogs irked them as they didn't sanction free advertising.....just a guess though

I agree -- it's definitely BULL.

I was just trying to point out that these guys can and do make arbitrary decisions, and then pretend that they hold the moral high ground and the banned person should have known better. It sucks.

If you do a search for "commercial" on their site, all of those companies are paying for their videos to be hosted?

I'm just guessing so maybe it's nothing to do with it. Their T&C makes mention of direct advertising though. Mr Excel is very sucsessful, and (rightly so in my opinion) mentions his books and seminars fairly regularly. A wonderful learning resource.

I guess in most xases the "comercials" you mention are mostly clips posted by other people sending up or showing a particularly funny Ad and not by the companies themselves. I still get the podcasts from I-Tunes, so we're not losing Mr Excel altogether!
