Now this is interesting. Most viewers of the Alodia Caramel Dance are males aged 35-45. Given that the clip features a nineteen-year-old girl doing a silly memedance, you have to wonder about that statistic.

In a way, it makes sense. The girl in the clip is a popular Filipina gamer, and the average gamer is male and 35.

That’s the kind of pondering you can do as YouTube adds demographic data to its Insight video analytics package. If you have YouTube videos, go to My Videos>Insight>Demographics and see for yourself.

YouTube Adds Demographics

It’s not exactly Google Analytics for YouTube, but it’s a start. YouTube Insight lets uploaders graph their videos’ aggregate views and relative popularity in various countries and regions from April 1, 2007 onwards. You can drill down to individual states in the US, and individual countries everywhere else. Apparently, the Alodia Caramel Dance has been drawing a lot of views from California this week.

Uploaders can click on the “About this video” buttons along the right side of the “My Videos” page to see the stats. Geographic charts will tell you where your fans are, but not much else. It certainly won’t help combat YouTube fraud. Fortunately, YouTube won’t stop here; they promise referrer logs soon, and embed tracking in Q2.
