Video View-Counting Standards Examined

YouTube's numbers probably inflated

Video View standards

This video view rating problem is not isolated to video only, I myself have published a few articles and noted that they are rated as "per view", also web pages get their "visit counters" to show how popular they are and again they are "per view".

The philosophy behind this is the common human behavior, "if xxxxx amount of people have seen it ... it is probably good"....nonsense, let's supose, that I put an empty closed box at the front store window with an ad --- "inside this box are the underware of lady godiva - A MUST SEE", don't you think that people will enter the store to find out more?, that is why writers (look in newspaper for example) will allways look for great headlines.

 We, as consumers,  need to read between the lines and try to see further than those great headlines.

The same is implemented in google's twisted way of thinking, "if xxxxx number of websites point to yours then your site MUST be great ...again nonsense, that is why I am against link exchanges.

There is an old proverb that states, "don't look at the vase look at the inside of it".
