The location does not matter. The only thing that matters is your content. Try to target t1 countries as good as possible.
Short answer: Use your actual country, won’t make a difference. Long answer: The algorithms of You. Tube are in your favor.
Can youtube track your location?
Investigative authorities can use the IP address associated with a You. Tube account, or a You. Tube video, to pinpoint your exact location, as well as your Internet service provider. There is nothing you can do to prevent IP address tracking. Using a public computer, however, makes tracking more difficult.
Can the location of a comment on a YouTube video be traced?
No, I don’t think the location can be found if you comment on a youtube video. Unless you are the CIA or FBI, a normal person cannot find out the geo location of a comment. It can not be directly traced from youtube but he can if he tries to check out your Google + account and yes some intelligence agency can also do it.
Yet another inquiry we ran across in our research was “Can YouTubers be tracked?”.
When it comes to your online activities, everything you do is trackable, including videos you upload on You. Tube and your You, and tube profile. One method of tracking allows other You. Tube users to find your You, and tube account.
Another frequent query is “How does YouTube track your search engines?”.
As you are viewing videos on You. Tube, advertisers and sponsors track the videos you watch. After you leave the You. Tube page, the sites you visit and the words you enter into search engines are still tracked.
Why are some YouTube videos unavailable in my region?
Changing your content location on You. Tube may make some videos unavailable in your area. If you want to access videos that are unavailable in your region, you’ll need to use a proxy service instead of changing your You, and tube country. The real location for the service is based on your IP address, not on your personal settings.
That suggests that most of the content is probably produced in PST timezone (Hollywood, California). It makes sense as most of the top MCNs are based in Los Angeles and they publish content based on their time. Also even most of the You. Tube’s traffic comes from outside of US, most of the videos uploaded are in English.
Why does my YouTube video get recommended by other people?
If a lot of the people from your video watched a different video beforehand, You. Tube is most likely to recommend your video to every newcomer on that video, and so forth. Keep this in mind when you are sharing your video and creating video tags, because it all will put emphasis on the direction in which You. Tube directs the algorithm.
