For some time now, the famous social network VKontakte began to show even more information to all its users: in March 2017, the resource administration officially announced a new update, thanks to which each user now has the opportunity to see the number of views on his own or someone else's post. You will learn more about how VK views are counted and how it works in general later in the article.

What kind of views in VK under the records - detailed information

Vadim Dorokhov, head of web development of the social network, was the first to report on the statistics of VKontakte publications. In his opinion, it is far from always possible to judge the quality of a particular publication by the number of “likes” (like marks), but if we talk about the number of views, then it is quite possible to conclude which entry is most in demand among network users. Thus, using the view counter, you can much better identify the interest of the public in a particular content.

So what are VK views under posts? Under each post (posts on the user's wall, posts in community feeds), there is now a counter in the most visible place, which shows how many views this content had.

The entire Internet community in the discussion of this innovation of the VK social network was divided into 2 camps: some are sure that views are effective tool for digital marketing, while others consider the new "feature" a useless indicator.

How can I see views on VK?

Finding out the number of views on VK is as easy as shelling pears: a new option is displayed in the lower right corner of each publication. It is worth knowing that not only you, but also all your friends and absolutely all VKontakte users will see views of your posts on your personal page (the only exception, perhaps, are those users whom you added to the “black list”). But it is currently impossible to find out who exactly viewed this or that record.

The view counter can also be seen now in updated mobile applications VK for two operating systems: iOS and Android. As in the main computer version, on smartphones it is visible under publications for all users of the social network.

How views are counted in VK - information from social network administrators

As the administration of VKontakte explained, a special algorithm of the site counts exactly the views of any publication, whether it is a post on the wall in a personal account or published information in the community. It is important to understand that if a user, having entered a group or page of another person, simply scrolls through the wall / tape, then in this case the counter will not record the impression.

Briefly about what you need to know about views on VK:

• The counter is installed both in communities and in ordinary user posts on the wall
• Not only the author of the publication sees the counter under it, but also all other users of VKontakte
• You won't be able to see who exactly viewed the post
• The counter shows only views, but if you decide to watch the record again, you will not add another view to it - it works reliable protection from markups
• All views are counted from the beginning of January 2017
• If the user scrolls the feed/wall, views of posts on it are not taken into account.

How to wind up views on VK and is it possible: ideas, ways

As soon as the news about the introduction of the views counter on VKontakte spread all over the Internet, some network users immediately began to have questions on how to wind up views on VK. It is obvious that by pressing f5 every time and thus updating the page, it is hardly possible to wind up the desired number of views.

Now you know how VK views are counted and how they can be viewed on pages and in communities. The developers of the social network VKontakte hope that by means of the implemented view counter, Internet users will be able to more easily monitor people's reactions to their content. The press secretary of the Kyiv branch of the social network Vlad Legotkin stressed that new feature in VK (views) will be useful not only for SMM managers and community owners, but also for ordinary users, as views will become another important way motivation for content authors.

One of the most valuable resources for any YouTube channel is the number of views. It is this objective indicator that indicates the popularity of the project…..

In this material you will be able to know it's all about how the service's algorithms count the number of views within the system, as well as from third-party services.

Ultimately, this will allow you to effectively influence this indicator.

Counter from "A" to "Z"

So, on the page with any video, you can find a counter that displays the number of views.

It's no secret that this indicator directly affects the ranking in internal system search, so all the authors try to increase it.

It is worth noting that the system does not immediately count YouTube views.

This is due to the fact that these data is submitted to analysis for the fact of fraud, so real indicators are updated with a certain delay.

Surely many have seen that new videos do not gain more than 301 or 302 views, while the number of likes / dislikes is calculated normally.

This is the given algorithm, which prevents various cheats. !!!

So, let's look at how and what views are counted on YouTube:↓

• any unique visitors
• repeat visitors (including your own);
• visitors who came from the playlist;
• social media views.

For ordinary visitors?

So, any views by people are counted by the counter and even repeated ones.

Various transitions of robots and so on are ignored.

Attention!

Also not allowed multiple page refresh in order to artificially increase the indicator !!!

This is where you can view data about real visitors, since information is updated faster.

In particular, data is updated almost every 10 seconds, while you can very flexibly set up filters to view indicators for a certain period of time.

This is a rather tricky question, since tracking such data requires a real experiment, which we did the day before.

The fact is that popular networks ( Vkontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki) are in a competitive relationship with YouTube.

That is why many channel owners managed to notice that views on the service do not count.

For this we did an experiment and posted short videos in popular in social networks. As it turned out, video views from a contact, classmates and Facebook are not taken into account if you add videos in the traditional way.

This is due to the fact that the content is played through the internal players of social networks.

In this case, there is one proven method: ↓↓↓

• you need to click "Edit video";
• now go to the "Advanced settings" section;
• Here you need to uncheck the "Allow video embedding" box.

We are launching an update to the system that analyzes YouTube views. Starting January 29, you may notice fluctuations in the statistics for them - this is normal.

Only views made by users are taken into account, and those made using automated programs are eliminated as invalid. During the first couple of hours after the video is published, the number of views may not be accurate: it is being verified.

When the initial count ends, the counter starts to update more frequently. The time it takes to keep track of all valid views depends on the popularity of the video. Remember that the check is ongoing and the number of views may change.

Why is the number of views not changing?

Sometimes the number of views may not match your counts. It happens that the indicator temporarily decreases or does not change, because the system analyzes views and filters out invalid ones. A special verification algorithm allows you to ensure that the data available to viewers, partners and advertisers is not distorted.

Paid video ad views

In general statistics, the views that the video received when shown as an advertisement can also be taken into account.

• TrueView in-stream ads. Viewing such a video ad is included in the video statistics if:
  • it lasts from 11 to 30 seconds and the user watches it to the end;
  • the user watches at least 30 seconds of an ad that lasts longer;
  • the user interacts with it.
• TrueView Video Discovery Ads. Viewing such a video ad is counted in the statistics if the viewer clicks on the ad and the video starts playing.

Where to track statistics

This site counts the viewing of a video file if a person has seen five seconds of this video. The place of viewing does not matter, since there is a link to YouTube on another resource.

This is a rather complicated question about cheating, which only the site administrator knows.

But there is an approximate figure that the site may count if you view from one IP address and this is about 350 views.

Of course, he can count and will count views from one IP first, but then he will definitely recalculate in order to avoid left cheating. and all this reasoning about three hundred views from one ip is complete nonsense, and the duration that youtube counters count, you will find out when you yourself register on youtube

In general, the number of views on the site is counted using a certain counter - or, in other words, a unique program specially written for this case, which, thanks to its algorithm, calculates the statistics of your video views.

Statistics are tracked using IP address data and therefore users, which allows you to track unique viewers 🙂

In order to protect against cheating, on Youtube, views of the same user are counted only up to three hundred to three hundred and fifty times.

It is not necessary to download or play in full, up to the very last second (minute), it does not matter. A few seconds of playing the video is enough and the view is already counted, it is unlikely that anyone will tell you for sure, since information about the algorithm of the Youtube counter is known only to the creators of the resource. At least 5 seconds, but 10 should be better for statistics.

Viewing from another site (blog) is also counted, because in any case, the Youtube page opens, just inside another service (except for most social networks).

It is not necessary to watch the video in full for the view to be counted! The view is counted almost immediately - after a few seconds of watching the video, but if you need the view to be accurately taken into account in the statistics, then watch at least 5-10 seconds.

Statistics are also kept from external resources on which the video is posted, including from various blogs and social networks.

By yourself, without changing the IP, you can wind up several hundred views, but there is no certainty that all of them will be counted.

I can’t say for sure, but definitely the view counts if you watch from the middle and at least a minute. If from the beginning and for 3-5 seconds, it is also read out. This is from my experience (there are several channels).

Yes, everything is read except social. networks - partially counts through Odnoklassniki (but definitely not all, it feels like no more than a third of what was actually viewed), VKontakte, in my opinion, there are almost no views from the built-in video player. The rest is read by everyone: forums, blogs, other sites.

But I must replace that the number of views will not give you anything - I don’t know by what principle the videos go up. A similar video with 5,000 views and another with 500 views with the same tags - the latter can easily rank higher in the search.

Sometimes it reduces, I cheated with the help of services and a robot, and a day later everything returned to its place and I didn’t manage to cheat on any video on the channel with the help of these manipulations, so I don’t advise cheating! get on a special list and then get out of it for a long time!

Youtube has special programs that do this, if everything was done manually it would be just a nightmare Youtube would have collapsed a long time ago, viewing is considered if you upload a video and watch it for at least 10-15 seconds, you can repeat it from one IP address wind up views about 300 times, if you will be viewing from another site, then the views should count. Views can be viewed from the bottom of the video on Youtube, you can also make good money.

Anyone who wants to make money on YouTube should be very concerned about this issue. But the exact answer, except for developers, no one will give.

It is known that it is not necessary to watch the video in full. 5 is enough, and 10 seconds to be sure.

It's hard to say about twists. There is no exact information on how many views are counted from one IP.

YouTube has 2 types of counters: the first one, which counts all views under the video, even yours. Views from one IP, account, views of robots, views of the opened-closed type, the counter adds to the storage basket. Now counter 2. This is where the actual views that go into the channel's analytics go. With 1 IP, as you understand, you can wind up only 1 counter, but there will be no sense from this.

In order for you to be credited with viewing on the Youtube channel, it is necessary that the logged in user watches the video for at least five seconds. If you make a view from another resource, such a view is also counted.
