YouTube has just released a new feature for its analytics platform that allows content owners to see how many unique visitors are watching their videos. While YouTube videos have long displayed their view counts to the public, until this point it hasn’t been possible to tell if the hits were coming from a wide audience or just a few devout fans who repeatedly watched the same clips.
To access the feature, visit the YouTube Insights page for the video in question and click ‘Show Unique Users’ under the ‘Views’ tab. A yellow line depicting unique views will appear alongside the standard green line showing absolute views, allowing you to easily gauge how many repeat hits you have. While most users will probably see fairly mundane trends, the most popular viral videos have statistics that are much more dramatic (I’d love to see the stats for this classic.)
You got me Jason. I’ll admit, I just got rick roll’d.
If it’s a youtube link I always google it first. TURN OF SNAPSHOTS if you are going to roll people. Kind of defeats the purpose.
I’ll admit. I just got Rick Roll’d. Good one Jason.

You know…. I Love Youtube… I just wish they would become the ultimate website and share revenue with its users…. how it would be done… don’t know… but it really would be awesome for users to have the ability to profit from the millions of plays they get!!
Yea… there is a lot that goes along with the
But keeping a forward thinking mindset, its a app like Youtube that has the xmillions of users daily which uses a biz model that compensates its users for content they generate…who’s gonna slip right in that web top10 spot.
“Mr. Williams, who counts about 180,000 subscribers to his videos, said he was earning $17,000 to $20,000 a month via YouTube. Half of the profits come from YouTube’s advertisements, and the other half come from sponsorships and product placements within his videos, a model that he has borrowed from traditional media.”

That is a nice chunk of change. It explains why I’ve seen so many rip offs of popular Youtube shows. For example, there are at least five people who have copied the AVGN that I know of. Same type of humor and in some cases exact lines word for word– and they all have ads.
Kind of reminds me of freerangestock.com where you can post pictures, open up the rights to them as stock photos for anyone and get a share of the google adwords revenue.
Thia analytic feature will help publishers how many viewers are watching their videos.

Cool feature and one I’ve always wondered about since it shows 20,000 views but how many of those times is the person who uploaded it watching over and over hoping to bump up its popularity?
