Hitwise reported recently on the dramatic growth of online-video viewing in the UK. Time to start faking a Brittish accent in my vlogs.
The most interesting part of this, for me, is that YouTube’s total traffic is higher than the next 10 properties combined. And YouTube’s 69% share of the top 10 is followed by a paltry 5.6 percent share by the BBC. Can it last?
Nice, recent review of online-video sites. Here’s a comprehensive list of sites by Light Reading. Even better, a ranking of sites that share advertising revenue. Some excellent tables- like this one that shows what sites pay what.
It’s been a very long time since I’ve discovered an article about online video that made me shout “Amen.” Courtesy of ReelSEO, here’s “Three Types of Online Video for Business.” I especially like this visual below (the chart not the head shot, mkay). It helps simplify the relationship between the location of a video and…
Revver until now has cornered the market on pay-for-content. Two firms have offered similar models, though. And a new entrant has arrived. 1) Jeukersz (aka www.MillionDollarVideoJukeBox.com) 2) Motion.tv 3) Now Blip.tv is getting into the revenue-sharing space according to this article from CNet. Here's what CNet says, and if you register you can read more…
Even the niche interest groups are looking at online video. Jim’s blog on bikingdiscusses how to use online video to enhance the community of bicycling. Jim’s a friend, and I have no idea about the biking world (except that Tour de France accidents are interesting to watch on video). But he’s performed in a number…
Well I never expected to be anonymous on the web. But I also didn’t expect to be targeted by this Google Adsense advertisement. Hmmm. $1000 a month to blog about my sexual dysfunction? Now there’s some interesting reading.
Video contests continue to roll out, often ignoring some of the basics for attracting good entries. Some examples from the past few days… Mount Olive Pickle Company is seeking 30 to 60-second videos describing why Mt. Olive “is the perfect pickle.” Plan N Trade Franchise, Inc., is hosting a “National Guitar Hero II video contest.”…

Since YouTube brought in the ‘who watches your videos’ map, I’ve realised that I have almost nobody from the UK watching my videos. Number 1 audience is the US, followed by Australia then Canada but after that… not much.
There’s obviously a huge niche there that I just have to plug into.
Hi Nalts,
I’m sorry I didn’t check this blog for awhile, I go in spurts of reading the ones on my list.
I hope that you are feeling better and doing okay now – after reading a few of your recent posts I am a bit worried about you. Know that there are so many people who love your videos, ideas, and person, even if they don’t read a blog and even though some people are really loud when they don’t like you. Your videos always brighten my day.
How do you see the map Rohan?
Anyone know why it’s so hard to upload to You Tube?
What’s going on?
nice numbers but youtube still isnt the #1 website on the net,yahoo is.Btw,any of u stiffs like rocknroll? click this link to see ledzeppelins “kashmir” performed live by Alterbridge:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPNnBisii1M just kidding,u guys arent stiffs,just uptight anal retentive corporate goons 😉
I Love Led Zepplin. I am also not a corporate goon. I am a teacher. At least, I try to be. Not always easy with the population I teach.
Due to nalts’ writer’s block last week, I now have comment block. Thanks buddy.
Nalts, an occasional reader from the UK here – expect British online video consumption to increase massively over the next few months and years. The BBC recently launched the iPlayer which allows Biritish residents fulla ccess to all the BBC’s programs from the last week.
It works really well and has a fantastic tagline of: ‘Making the unmissable, unmissable.”
