Hello, everybody! SeeZisLab.com Team carry out experiments to support or break the myths on YouTube.
This time the name of our experiment is as follows: “Influence of author’s subtitles on ranking of videos in YouTube search results”. It will help us know, if it is reasonable to spend our time for creation of author’s subtitles or not?"
To carry out the experiment we needed 2 virtual machines, on each of them we simultaneously registered a YouTube account, and simultaneously created 2 channels on each account. To get more precise data, we made 10 pairs of videos. In each pair, files were identical as for their duration, bitrate and were uploaded with similar tags, titles and description. Videos were similar, but at the same time unique. They were uploaded to channels by pairs, and in each pair one video had author’s subtitles, and the other didn’t.
Feel free to write any questions or remarks on our experiment in comments below; SeeZisLab Team will be happy to reply them.
