Up until recently I didn’t think my videos on Google Video were getting many views. Then I discovered you can enter your account and see total views. I’ve got more than 250,000 views on my videos. Here are a few.
I ‘d recommend submitting your work to Google even if you put it elsewhere… seems that although traffic to Google Video is lower than YouTube, my content is getting more than twice the visibility.
I was on Hulu this morning looking for the classic Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken “Need More Cowbell” skit. I felt tricked when I was taken to “Funny or Die,” where I found amateur content. Then I got curious about how an amateur got on Hulu. Sure enough two of my videos snuck onto Hulu…
The folks at Room 403 Productions are seeking short (3 minutes or less) videos to be aired on primetime television. Named after a room in the Gloria Swanson Bldg on the Paramount’s lot, Room 403 Productions was founded by David Hurwitz and Paul Cockerill who met working on The Arsenio Hall Show.

Get used to prerolls and video-enabled display ads. The UK’s office of the IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) predicts online-video ads to become the most popular format (source). Today the bureau reports: “Video ads and rich media content are set to overtake more traditional forms of online advertising such as display and banner ads in Australia,…
I really don’t care much for Dear-Abby-wanna-be advice, and I’m somewhat appalled by such concepts as “finishing school.” People should be themselves, but there are certain behaviors (like not sipping your soup from the bowl) that can be selectively adopted to improve the way one “fits in” certain social situations.

I use the Google ‘Reports’ section you’re talking about as a tool to see which of my videos continue to get views and which peaked early.Very useful tool. Much better than a pie chart of the top 5 videos! I can check views by day, week, month or any specified period of time! Very informative tool.
I do miss having specific details per video. Even better- I’d like to know what they viewed before/after my video. This shouldn’t be that difficult because each video is a unique URL.

Frustrating being in the dark from an analytics standpoint…
Hahaha! You make me want stuff I never dreamed could exist.
