Lies, more lies, and statistics

YouTube statistics are always a source of fascination for me.

I consider the number of times a videoclip has been viewed to be a direct indicator of a video's popularity with the Internet-enabled viewing public.

For example:
  • D' Lucky Ones Full Trailer.
    Available online: 17 days. Hits to date: 1601
    Avg hits/day: 97.17

  • Sam Milby's Self-titled Album TV commercial.
    Available online: 10 days. Hits to date: 507
    Avg hits/day: 50.7

  • Bituing Walang Ningning Teaser.
    Available online: 3 days. Hits to date: 432
    Avg hits/day: 144

  • Sa Piling Mo Trailer.
    Available online: 45 days. Hits to date: 4057
    Avg hits/day: 90.1

  • Makita Kang Muli (Panday Theme).
    Available online: 54 days. Hits to date: 9067
    Avg hits/day: 167.9
Of course, there are many other factors that can totally skew these numbers. For example, a trailer is less interesting than the real thing. And the longer something has been online, the more stale it becomes (although the chances of people finding it go up also).

Anyway, if these stats are a decent indicator for TV viewership, Panday's ratings are worth keeping an eye on.

Pahabol (10:45pm): a little before making the post above, I uploaded the music video of Toni Gonzaga's We Belong to YouTube as well. In less than 24 hours, it has been viewed 313 times! Wow.
