All your plays are recorded over on blip so that no matter where your video is sitting, the playing of it gets counted.
Brightcove also has embedded players that track plays... If you want your website to get hits, you need to have the viewer visit the site... I think that the days of counting website hits is going away, and the future lies in counting the number of times the media is watched no matter where it sits. Also, I'm hoping that we get beyond CMP or cost per 1,000 impressions, and are able to move toward the value of sponsorship for a targeted audience. That's where the real advertiser value is in web video vs. blasting out an ad to thousands of people who don't care to see it. --Steve On Jan 2, 2007, at 3:27 PM, Mark Westin wrote: > Hi folks - > > I'm more of a content guy than a tech guy, so I hope some of you with > tech expertise can explain something to me.
