I’d be more famous if I had boobs

Let’s face it, sex sells.  It’s used in all kinds of advertising because it’s a proven and studied fact that it works.  And it certainly helps for getting popular on YouTube as well.

I can’t count the number of videos I’ve seen that have become popular because the thumbnail image for a video has a hot chick with cleavage.  Having sexy words in the title or description really helps too.  Don’t believe me?  Here’s proof of that one in my own videos…

I posted four videos of scenes that I acted in from a student production last year.  Three of them have under 3000 views and one of them has over 17,000.  What’s the difference with the one that has over 14,000 more views than any of the others?  It has the word sex in the description.  I’m not kidding.  You can see all four of them here.

And then when you combine both sexy words and a sexy image, you’ve got yourself a masterpiece.  Like this little gem by HotForWords…

Did that video get almost 5 million views because of her intellect?  Her witty repartee?  Let’s replace the hot blond girl with big cleavage for a regular guy and change the topic from being about boobs to being about elbows, and I’d love to compare the results.

What do you think? Do hot girls who use their looks to their advantage have it easier on YouTube?  Does it make you want to a watch a video more when the topic is about something sexy?
