YouTube Insight - Check Your Video Stats
March 28th, 2008 . by Markus - Add a Comment
For all you videos buffs out there I thought I’d let you know about a cool new tool that YouTube has released for all its users. It is an analytics tool so that you can track detailed stats about any video you upload to Youtube. It is called YouTube Insight and was only released yesterday.
The stats can include things like how many people watch your video, which details things like what time of the day is the most popular viewing time for your video and what day of the week is the most popular day for your video. It also tracks where in the world your video is most popular, for example it can tell you that this week it was watched 1000 times in England but only 200 time in the US. It also gives state by state statistics for the US.
This can assist anyone in making better videos for their viewers, and for those of you who use YouTube for business purposes you can now accurately target your videos more effectively.
To access this new feature you have to login to Youtube and access My Account, from here you have to go to Videos, Favorites, Playlists. Here you will see a list of all your videos, now just click on the About This Video link to the right on the specific video you want. You will now be in the YouTube Insight interface where you can check all the stats I have talked about.
Here are some screenshots from the YouTube Insight interface;

If anone has been using Insight over the last day or so please leave some comments on what you think of it, it is such a new feature that we haven’t heard much about it yet.
