If I use a tracking link created by Linkfire, Linktree, or a similar provider, which points to a YouTube video, will it still work?

YouTube view ads require an actual YouTube link. Good news is that [b00st.com](https://b00st.com/) automatically detects and places the YouTube link if you submit a tracking link pointing to an existing video on YouTube.

For all traffic placements, including those generated from the YouTube view ads, [b00st.com](https://b00st.com/) will automatically use the tracking link provided.
