If you are anything like me, once you have access to statistics for your website, you are all over them.  Not too long ago in March of this year YouTube enabled statistical data automatically for your (and anyone’s) videos.  Just click on the “Statistics & Data” tab beside the comments  and you can view the honours for your view and what sites are linking to it .  It’s not a Google analytics tool by any means but it does enable a bit of tracking for the casual user or for those who don’t want to get addicted to the stats pages. No doubt a rollout as part of the google-tube merger and could be an upsell for Google and YouTube in the future if they ever wanted to start having more of this data as a value-add to users.
