Alright so this is a pretty simple way to get more views when people open/use your VB programs (That are hopefully already on YouTube).
I have never heard of anyone that uses this method besides me and my buddy w00d. If i am wrong, sorry? ANYWAYS..
Step 1: Make your program (Whatever it is)
Step 2: Add a web browser control and set it's visibility to FALSE.
Step 3: Set the web browsers URL to a link of one of your YouTube videos.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2-3 for how ever many videos you want to add. I usually make 3 web controls for each 1 of my videos.
It may not seem like a lot, but for the 1 view that you would have got from them downloading your program. You will essentially get 3x the views you would have depending on how many web controls you add to your program.
*Important*
Yes, the sound is going to play from all of your videos at once, and it's going to be annoying. If anyone want's to tell us how to mute what's inside the Web browser controls, i will add it to the TUT.
ALSO, as TraptCode stated, if you are going to use this, i do not recommend it if your users are going to open your program like 30 times, because if your videos get 300+ views from the same person, they will lock your views. Or i recommend making it so that they can only open the program a certain number of times to avoid that. I usually only use this for fake programs like Generators and etc.

If you want to mute the Speaker Sound then
Declare These
On Form Load Event Use this To Mute
On Form Closing Event Use This To Un-Mute
