You’ve created your online video. You’ve uploaded it with VideoBloom’s super-simple technology. And now you need to know - is anyone actually watching it?

Well, we’re happy to report, there’s now an easy way to find out. We’ve just released our Video Tracking Statistics Module, a handy set of graphs, charts and maps that will tell you where people are watching your video, how much time they are spending doing it, and where their views are coming from.

We’ve broken up your stats into three easy-to-understand sections:

1. A video player URL chart. Find out how many video views are coming from each the URL locations you have your video embedded on. This info will let you better evaluate your distribution channels by telling you which locations are generating the most (or least) video views.
   
    
2. Viewer location map. See where people who are watching your Web videos are geographically located, displayed as points on a map. Using this information you can better understand whom your online videos appeal to, see if you’re hitting your target demographic, and identify geographic regions that might be interested in your product or service.
   
    
3. Video Usage Details. The big daddy of your Tracking Statistics, this module tells you how many hits and views your online video gets and users’ average viewing time. More specifically, it breaks video usage into:
    

• Page hits or the number of visitors that loaded the page where your video player is embedded.
• Video views, which is different than page hits. This number tells you how many people actually started watching your Web video versus just loaded the page. If you find there is a big discrepancy between these two numbers, you might want to think about changing your display thumbnail to something more dynamic.
• Number of completed views highlights how many viewers watched your entire video.
• View to completion rate takes those completed views and compares them to your total number of views to give you the percentage of people that are watching all the way through.If you have low completion rates, you might need to spice up your video a bit…
• Average viewing time cites the average time in the video that viewers stop watching. The percentage of this metric gives you the average viewing time as a percentage of the total video time, or on average what percent of your video is watched. Again, a great way to help you tailor your videos for increased engagement.
