on 18 july 2008, "girlfriend" became the most viewed video at that time on youtube and in august of that year, surpassed 100 million views, becoming the only youtube video available at that time to reach that milestone (although css's "music is my hot hot sex" had reached that milestone a couple months before, it has been removed from the website under accusations that the views had been fraudulent). the youtube video of the song was accused of having an exaggerated number of views due to the use of a web link posted by avrilbandaids, a fansite devoted to lavigne. clicking on the link would automatically reload the youtube video of girlfriend every fifteen seconds. fans of lavigne were encouraged to: "keep this page open while you browse the internet, study for exams, or even sleep. for extra viewing power, open up two or more browser windows at this page!" however, the fansite later revealed that no "cheating" had taken place, and that the link had merely been a ruse to draw more attention to the video, thereby attracting additional views. it is expected that lavigne's youtube video views have earned in excess of us$2,000,000. in november 2009, rca records removed the video of the song from youtube, by which time it had received around 130 million views. a new upload of the music video is now officially hosted on lavigne's vevo channel on youtube, with over 450 million views as of january 2019.
