I say this is big news because if you’re an affiliate marketer putting time into making YouTube videos, in the past you haven’t been able to tell if anyone was watching the videos, and/or how they found your video.  But now you can!

According to the YouTube blog, here’s what the new analytics tool is all about:

“Today we’re releasing YouTube Insight, a free tool that enables anyone with a YouTube account to view detailed statistics about the videos that they upload to the site. For example, uploaders can see how often their videos are viewed in different geographic regions, as well as how popular they are relative to all videos in that market over a given period of time. You can also delve deeper into the lifecycle of your videos, like how long it takes for a video to become popular, and what happens to video views as popularity peaks.”

So now you’ll know if your affiliate marketing videos are being watched!  Be sure to check out, and use this new tool.  It’s always nice to know – who’s listening. . .
