YouTube statistics tool for your site
YouTube recently added a new tool that could be used to collect video clip statistic. The new tool will give users the opportunity to find out which video is the most popular and on what day visitors watched a specific video clip. Users may also have information about visitors geographical location. It will be possible to find out even how the visitors reached the site hosting the video clip. I think this tool will be very useful for site owners who want to suit their site to the visitors behavior. Read YouTube's blog post for further information on YouTube's new tool.
"Finally, we have some answers. Today we're releasing YouTube Insight, a free tool that enables anyone with a YouTube account to view detailed statistics about the videos that they upload to the site. For example, uploaders can see how often their videos are viewed in different geographic regions, as well as how popular they are relative to all videos in that market over a given period of time."
Things are happening at YouTube. Two weeks ago the video site launched a new application programming interface, API. Even more recently YouTube showed how to get high quality on video clips.
