The Power of Search and YouTube

July 23rd, 2010 by Eric Hoffman

This is another case study based upon a test I did this past weekend.

I took my wife to see Ben Folds with the Utah Symphony. No, that’s not the test, but it was a really good date night.

I didn’t tweet that I’d posted them or link them to my Facebook, I merely posted the videos to my YouTube account with descriptions, titles, tags and geo-tags and now within a week the stats are:

Video Views Comments Top Link followed to Video Top Link Percent of Total Views
Picture Window 59 7 YouTube Search 70.7%
Not the Same 98 0 YouTube Search 61.9%
