Youtube Statistics: What do the Letters Mean?

Question: What do the Letters Mean in Youtube Statistics?
Answer: The letters don't seem to mean anything in particular.

As a youtube partner, I am constantly trying to figure out new ways to promote my videos and get them to more audiences. That means I am making more money along the way. If you look under your video while watching your video on the youtube.com site, then you will see a series of tabs. One of them is labeled Statistics and Data.

Youtube is giving video publishers a way to understand how each video is being viewed by its audience. What you can do is learn the ways your video gets viewed and make sure you are doing everything you can to ensure that your next videos get shared in the same places. For instance a lot of views seem to come from Subscribers to your youtube channel, having your videos embedded on other websites, sharing the Youtube link on Facebook, and Youtube search. Try and contact websites that have content similar to your videos and ask them to embed 1 or 2 in their blog or on their site. Maybe they can even review it for you. This is a great way I drive traffic to my videos. I also use the autoshare feature which allows me to share my video uploads on twitter, google reader, and facebook straight from Youtube.

Here are some of the ways the videos can be seen by the online video viewing public. Post a comment with more if you have them.

A: First Embedded Link
B: First referral from a subscriber module
C: First view on a channel page
D: First embedded on - www.facebook.com

G: First view from a mobile device

J: First featured video view
K: First referral from related video

To be honest, don't expect to make big money right away from the Youtube Partner Program. You have to get an adsense account first: check adsense.google.com for some tips and links.
You also have to use music that you have a signed contract with or royalty free music, this is one of the hardest parts. Any videos you have that have unlicensed music should probably get re-edited before you apply, if they think you are using copyrighted music you'll never be a partner. Plus you need to get lots of views like 100,000+ on a video before you should apply to the partner program or they'll reject you. We were lucky cause we have some high amounts of views. Unless you are producing videos that consistently get more than 100,000 views, its more like a hobby really. The pay differs based on what type of videos you have. For instance lawyer videos or real estate information makes a lot more per ad click, than a sports related video. The best recommendation I can say to become a YOUTUBE PARTNER is to keep making videos, make them very high quality, and release at least one new one per week. Make videos that people will want to subscribe to. And don't be discouraged by low views. Promote your videos on myspace and facebook. Just be sure that if people don't like your videos because of poor quality or lame editing, then they might not watch any more. Watch others' videos and comment and rate them. Give people good comments and they'll come to your channel to reciprocate. Keep at it. Good luck.

Youtube places ads over videos and you can profit from this by making your own videos and posting them on Youtube. They have a partner program for those who make the best videos and get a lot of views. The trick is to keep posting good, quality films with emphasis on short entertaining subjects, educational, how-to videos, or shots from your business.
