Most people claim there’s no harm in employing an SMM panel to increase your YouTube presence because social media is one of the finest methods to advertise your brand and expand your sphere of influence, and SMM panels are always one step ahead of social media, too.

But in reality, are they really safe? Is it a good idea to use SMM panels for your YouTube channel, or the ones of your clients? Well, let’s take a moment to talk about it.

What harm can a SMM Panel for YouTube do?

Do SMM panels have a negative impact on organic engagement and growth? Can YouTube ban a channel or take down a video, which has been boosted using a YouTube SMM Panel?

Let’s talk about price for a second. The services some of these SMM panels offer are extremely cheap, promising the world to everyone. But you have to be aware of the saying “it’s too good to be true.” You cannot obtain authentic accounts to follow your channel or watch your videos for such low prices. 

The majority of SMM panels provide these services via inactive bot accounts, which reduce interaction. Because these bot followers are supplied in an unusual manner, most networks are able to detect this, and they can either remove them or shadow-ban the account, limiting the number of people who see your content.

Also, cheap views that come from bad SMM panels have low retention and a very high bounce rate. Meaning that even if you get a view, only a couple of seconds of your video would be watched. And you know that YouTube prioritizes retention rate these days.

This will lower your overall stats.

So yes, SMM panels can cause harm. But it depends on which provider you choose to work with.

Are All SMM Panels Bad For YouTube?

With a bit of research, you’ll also find that there are also reliable SMM panels out there, that will deliver exactly what they promised or use real and safe traffic sources.

So, let’s talk about the other side of the spectrum. Legitimate SMM panels that have been used for years and have thousands of satisfied customers are still out there. They are more difficult to find in the ocean of YouTube and SMM Panels, but still there. 

By using a quick little search on Google, and then verifying the reliability and reviews on sites like TrustPilot, where you can see what people experienced when working with these trustworthy panels.

But what makes a panel trustworthy and safe to use?

The best in the biz don’t mess with fake bots and low retention time. They offer exactly what you want (or what is described in the product), giving you views that cover the entire length of your video or which, at least, won’t cause harm to your channel, as they are sent in a natural, non-suspicious way.

These legitimate websites, unlike the other ones that may hurt your engagement or channel, might even let you test out their services. All you have to do is open a ticket with your channel link and desired service, then you’ll receive a free balance to use so that you can see what they’re all about, free of charge of course.

Now, we’ll see what makes a SMM Panel good for YouTube and how to actually find one, to be your partner during your YouTube journey – or the one of your clients.
