Viewing figures on YouTube

This is an interesting set of figures on video viewership in the first month on YouTube from Data Mining.

In the first month on YouTube

• 70% of videos get at least 20 views
• 50% of videos get at least 100 views
• Fewer than 20% of videos get more than 500 views
• Fewer than 10% of videos get more than 1, 500 views
• 3% of videos get more than 25, 000 views
• Around 1% of videos get more than 500, 000 views

See after the jump for how it looks in a chart but basically the average video should expect between 20 and 100 views.
