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.
In this 4-minute video from CNet, Jeremy Allaire (Brightcove founder and president) discusses the future of videos on the Internet. CNET's Neha Tiwari interviewed Allaire at Supernova 2006. Scheduled television content isn't dead, according to Brightcove who is working on services for smaller firms to syndicate content. P.S. Getting that video to serve will require you…
MadV— the masked street magician who does tricks to hip-hop music — is back after a 6-month hiatus with “One World.” The video invites YouTubers to respond with something written on their hands. MadV was on several video sites (and once dominated the “most popular” section of Revver for weeks), and then vanished because of…
I’ve been studying online-video comments for a few months, and I’d like to share my unscientific but well-documented conclusions. Online-video commenters come in three segments: Angry cynics (66%) Supportive fans (23%) Self promoters (11%) For some of my videos it would take more time to read the comments than it did to shoot, edit and…
I’ve written many times about what separates a good online-video contest from the myriad of failures. I’d like to add an important attribute that has been demonstrated recently by GoDaddy: listening and adapting. GoDaddy broke one of The Cardinal Rules of a good online-video contest by providing a meager first-place prize and even less for…
I’ve proclaimed it “Ugly Shirt Day” on January 15. There’s not much else going on this month, so why not? Dig into your wardrobe for the nastiest-looking shirt you can find, and e-mail a photo of you wearing it to uglyshirtday@gmail.com. Be sure to name the photo with your username (YouTube or other) so I…
Never bring a knife to a gun fight, or an attorney to a PR/advertising battle. That’s the lesson in the “2009 Battle of the Toasted Sandwiches.” Here’s a quick blow-by-blow recap (see Adweek for more): Dominos issues an independent taste test comparing its oven-baked sandwiches to Subway’s. Since they couldn’t obviously test every variation, they…

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. And finally, if the video is viewed somewhere else (syndicated) I sure would like to know where it is. That helps me know where my stuff needs to be. Frustrating being in the dark from an analytics standpoint…
Hahaha! You make me want stuff I never dreamed could exist.
