TubeMogul Research: Online Video's Short Shelf Life
TubeMogul research reveals that views for online videos peak early; based on these results, TubeMogul launches a tool for any video creator to predict their own annual views.
Emeryville, CA (PRWEB) June 23, 2008 -- TubeMogul, the leading distribution and analytics company for online video, announced results of research today measuring the average "shelf life" of a typical video online. The data is clear: video viewership peaks early.
Tracking data for views by day for 10,916 videos over a 90 day time period, TubeMogul found that 50% of a video's total views occur in the first two weeks, peaking on day three, which constitutes 11% of all views (inset). In order to exclude casual creators of online video (i.e. "Mikey's Birthday"), each video in the sample achieved a minimum of 1,000 cumulative views over the 90 day time period. A statistician then fit a curve to the data and projected out views by day for a full year.
Based on these results, TubeMogul developed a tool that any video creator can use to predict what their views will be at the end of a year, as well as what percentage of their total annual views have already lapsed.
"What's especially exciting about this research is that we are giving content creators a viable tool to predict their future views," comments Brett Wilson, CEO and Co-Founder of TubeMogul. As for the results? "While there are countless stories about random videos going viral, the data reveals this as a rare phenomenon."
