Video Sphere

Vidmeter gathers data from across the web to provide an accurate representation of the most popular online videos, by tracking and ranking those videos across 11 major video sharing networks.

Vidmeter’s resulting list of video provides a great tool for industry watchers to track trends in online videos, for marketers to see what’s hot, for makers and advertisers to track their video’s popularity, and for eager video watchers to get their fill of the most poplar entertainment online.

While it is impossible to tell the exact number of views a given video has received from every website and every download, Vidmeter gathers the reported view count from a large cross-section of web-based video sites, giving a very close indicator to the relative popularity of a video.

The ranking is performed in 4 simple steps:

1) The numbered of views and comments from the top listed videos are recorded once per hour.

2) Statistics from multiple websites but for similar videos are merged, allowing to count the views of a video on all websites as a single video, giving a more accurate ranking of a video’s popularity and not just a URL’s popularity.

3) Vidmeter automatically ranks videos for the day by counting the difference between that day’s view total and the previous day’s view total. The most viewed videos are the most popular and ranked highest.

4)The latest view and comment counts are set as the “all time” counts for the videos and they are ranked accordingly.
