How To Analyze YouTube Traffic

Recommendation and highlights pages across social media are a holy grail for many content creators. For instance, the home page recommendations on YouTube are prime real estate for anyone who wants to boost their videos’ visibility and exposure.

Recent analysis sheds some light on this topic, which is both surprising and helpful. YouTube traffic sources primarily affect the same sources. For example, home page recommendations are influenced by viewers watching videos directly from the home page, not external sites. This underscores the importance of optimizing content for internal YouTube traffic. Watch time, including clicks and retention, are all critical metrics for performance. Additionally, the YouTube algorithm does not consider monetization when recommending videos.
