YouTube Search Adds Time Watched As Ranking Factor The YouTube Blog announced they have adjusted their ranking algorithm to include the time a video was watched. YouTube said they experimented with this ranking factor with suggested videos and it lead to “less clicking” and “more watching” and thus feels it is a good idea to add to the overall YouTube Search ranking algorithm. Part of this announcement, YouTube also added the time watched statistics to video producers YouTube Analytics dashboard. You can access the time watched statistics under the “Views” report. There is a section labeled “Estimated minutes watched.” Here are screen shots from two of my videos I made in the past few weeks: You can see that while the Apple Maps published on September 28th has over twice as many views as the Google EMD video published on October 5th, the time watched on that video is less than the Google EMD video. Google’s YouTube wrote: The experimental results of this change have proven positive — less clicking, more watching.
YouTube Quietly Launches InVideo Programming: Apply In-Player Branding Across All Your Videos, Instantly YouTube keeps adding cool stuff out of nowhere and not announcing the changes. I get this odd feeling that the YouTube staff gets very excited about releasing a new feature and taking bets on how long it takes before someone notices. Within the last 24 hours, YouTube has just added a feature called "InVideo Programming" under the Settings tab. Clicking on it gives creators two options. You can now "brand" all of your videos by uploading an icon that represents you, and you can also "feature" a video on all of your other videos, giving creators the chance to push a video across their entire catalog. Here's what you do: Go to your Video Manager and click Settings . When you click that, you see this: InVideo Programming - Feature Channel: Feature Your Channel allows you to upload an image, whether your channel's avatar or a custom image, and you can place it in the top/bottom, left/right of the picture. InVideo Programming - Featured Video The other feature is Feature A Video .

Link Nei Video di Youtube & Call to Action: Come Aggiungerli Per un Video Marketing Più Efficace Su Tuttowebvideo si è già parlato in più di un’occasione di siti o servizi online che permettono si aggiungere link e altri elementi nei video online. Questi tool permettono spesso di rendere interattivi anche i video di youtube, ma funzionano in questo modo: scegli un video youtube, lo arricchisci con vari elementi interattivi e poi puoi pubblicare il risultato finale (video+link+note+overlay) su una pagina web , sul tuo sito, blog, ecc… Arricchire un video online in questo modo può essere molto utile soprattutto se lo utilizzi per scopi di marketing, ecommerce, ecc…, ad esempio inserendo un invito all’ azione (es. link cliccabile in sovrimpressione) . Il video reso interattivo con i link in questo modo non è però visibile su youtube ed è questo il grosso limite: sarebbe bello poter aggiungere link nei video e usufruire della visibilità di youtube stesso. E cosa c’è di più immediato di un link cliccabile dentro un video che sto guardando su YouTube ? Alex Briscese+
