YouTube Question YouTube Advertising traffic source

[Oliver & Liz]

I noticed that a *tiny* bit of my view traffic is coming from "sounds page" or "youtube advertising". I've never taken out an ad or even know how. Can someone please explain what these two traffic sources are?

VERY interesting indeed - so I went to have a look at mine... and came up with similar unknown (to me) sources?!

And I'll raise you a HASHTAG PAGE as a source?

Anyone?

Yes, I got a few Hashtag Page as a source. I don't have Sound Pages. I don't even know what they are.

Youtube advertising = "Ad playbacks that are counted as a view". But that is weird because who would want to use any of my videos in an ad either? I certainly don't do ads.

Sounds page refers to a page on a website or platform that features sounds or music tracks. It's possible that your content or website was shared or linked on such a page, and users who visited that page clicked on the link to your website or content.

YouTube advertising refers to advertisements that are displayed on YouTube videos or channels. If you have created a YouTube channel or uploaded videos to YouTube, you can use the YouTube advertising platform to create and display ads for your content. These ads can appear before or during other YouTube videos or on other websites that are part of the Google Display Network.

Interesting! Slightly glad I'm not alone.

I have oodles of hashtags so I'm not too surprised if any views come from there.
