The thought occurs to me that is amazing is you start adding up this long tail of pag views... all of you combined and it starts adding up pretty quick. I'm very pleased with the way blip is going and it certainly seems to be attracting a lot of big groups that are aimed at making shows or

Views on a video is just like pageviews - pretty static stat. I would think some more telling stats would be: 1) Subscribers to our vlog 2) %/# of Return viewers (how many people have watched more than 1 of your videos). Does Feedburner help to track these statistics? -Frank Frank Sinton

Rupert - I am guessing by view you mean they number of views or downloads from blip, ie the number of times a video has been clicked on and viewed, not just a page view. Correct? If that is the case most of my views are in the hundreds, don't have time at this moment to do a detailed

When I first started posting videos, I was completely obsessed with my stats. Now, not so much. One stat that still is cool to me is where people come from that find my site. I think I lost interest in all the stats thing when I realized that I wasnt going to make a living from this. Which is ok.

Rupert, I stopped worrying about viewing figures when I realised that the video I made of the world naked bike ride got 2x, 3x the viewers all my other videos did. Is that one in any way better, or are people just trying to get a look at the winkys of Brighton? I should probably post that on
