Google really is trying to get in your good graces. YouTube will not give posters more details about who is watching their video clips. The program called YouTube Insight, is free, but is still an attempt by Google to make money of its $1.76B purchase. Marketers who buy ads on YouTube already get statistics about the performance of their ads, but this new program will break down viewership by day and shows the states or countries where most viewers are. Kind of like a Nieseln thing, but no, not at all.
Tracy Chan, a YouTube program manager said that the new tools, “give a lot of context around the performance of video over time, where are your audience coming from and how your message is connecting to your audience.”
Who doesn’t love that? Good for them for trying to make some cash. Google actually saw slower growth in the number of clicks on text advertisements last month, adding to folks concerns that the economy is going to touch every last bit of business. Well, just chill okay? Seriously. Google is gonna be fine. I think. I think.
