If you were to talk about YouTube to the average person, they will probably agree with you and just say it’s a great place to go to watch videos online. To online marketers, we could blow our minds with the amount of information and stats that YouTube can provide us with. The sad thing is, even if you spent every second of your life watching videos on YouTube, you would never even scratch the surface of what’s actually viewable through the site.
The infographic below goes into some great detail and gives up a breakdown on the power of YouTube and what happened on the site just during 2011
I’ve also recapped the infographic highlights below.
