Ever wondered where the users came from? What country? Male or female users? Total views of my video? And what is my video rating? … It’s all available in Youtube insights now!!
All this info, was not shown by Youtube to the rest of the general population, but not any more. By switching it on in the privacy settings for your videos (located under “My Account”) you can now share this data with everyone. It’ll become visible in the “Statistics & Data” section, located under the video.
Besides the number of total views, comments, ratings and average ratings, one can also find out a list of top ten referrals, gender/age audience distribution, and popularity of the video in various parts of the world. Not bad for a free tool, especially for journalists and analysts who will now be able to gather some more data about a particular video (if the option is switched on, of course).
