Update: Read the full press release here

I have just published some research I did for Rubber Republic on the change in average daily views/video on YouTube over the past quarter.

To summarise the data briefly: There has never been a better time to post YouTube videos.

We found that the average number of youtube visits per video has roughly doubled over the previous quarter. That roughly means that if you post a video now, you can expect nearly twice as many viewers as you would have recieved a few months ago.

The WGA strike

One of the major factors people attribute to the growth of video sharing sites recently is the Writers Guild of America striking in the US. We tend to find that, for our metric of views per video, this was not so important, possibly because of the increased number of people publishing their own videos.

More information can be found on the Viral Research and Strategy page of Viral Manager, or you can view the entire report : YouTube Views Double in Oct-Dec 2007 (pdf).

This research was carried out using a system which I helped develop at Rubber Republic funded, in part, by the South West Screen Alliances for Convergence Programme.
