i agree, we can not look at this in a traditional manner, we must generate a scale that can apply based on a sites reach. The footprint of a site will vary. Larger corporations and brands will have a bigger pool that will be automatic views.

A hit for a large footprint would be based on the uniques, for a smaller site, it would be on total views, including replays. Replays would help identify content that has longevity, and help define what content the user base may be more interested in from that particular site.

The work i do on Karrine.com has seen our numbers grow dramatically with the inclusion of a new video player. But since our videos are not viral, the hits are lower than what they could be. We have done over 2 million, which is good, any time your server dies do to demand, you have to be doing something right... outside of having a bad host.

I would argue that a hit is not merely viewed a bunch, but is integrated into the fabric of a viewers online persona.

Here's a questions:

How many downloads does IMDB require before they'll accept a webseries into their database?

If you're not in their database, you don't exist, and they are the staple for traditional media. Also, they have a pretty hefty filter system (plus a holding period) before you can get in it.

Actors who were in our short-lived series, Flipper Nation, are always asking us if we will put it up for them, but our audience is so niche that we never made a big enough dent in views.

More than anything, though, there needs to be someway to educate those outside the industry (or at least the check-writers), so online producers can get paid what their worth.

Well, we are "New Media" right? So why look at this in the traditional ways? Of course we need stats and real numbers.

But the web gives us a few unique things that we haven't had before. First, is very low (or zero, thanks YouTube) distribution costs. Couple this with very low production costs (Canon HV20 and an iMac) and you are a now a $2,000 TV studio in your bedroom.

Second, is global distribution. Yes, you still need people to find your content. That's the hard part.

What happens is that this opens up niche programming to almost no longer be niche. It is a "global wide niche". Because your distribution and production costs are low you could in theory produce a very targeted show.

This is what is key and new. There is the potential for very focused delivery of content to very passionate small audiences.

This is when you then turn to advertisers and show them that you have their exact target audience.

Would Sony be better of advertising Blu-Ray players to milions during CSI or to a few thousand die hard home theater geeks that watch a home theater focused video podcast?

It hasn't happened just yet but it is coming. Big mass appeal hits will still happen. But there will also be a big market for finding real targeted viewers.

Sorry for the novel.
