Views: This is one of the most important metrics to analyse the success of videos you have created. The primary purpose of producing them is that people watch them and hence it is important to know how many people have viewed them. This metric gives a sense of popularity to the viewers and the up loader and is conveniently present at the bottom right of every video. It helps us to understand the audience’s choice and know which content suits them the best. By knowing which type of video content is being viewed helps content creation to a great extent.


Likes: This metric though simple can prove to be a vital pointer to which videos clicked with the audience and which ones didn’t. A look at the likes to dislikes ratio will show which one is a better rated video. If a video has 100 likes and 50 dislikes, it shows a 2:1 ratio while another video has 400 likes and 100 dislikes, it’s a 4:1 ratio. So although the second video has more dislikes, it proves to be better rated due to the ratio.
