Viddler offers a turnkey solution for clients that easily integrates their Viddler video library with their Google Analytics account. Viddler's video player sends video events that are captured and reported by Google Analytics. Viddler's new HTML5 player, Arpeggio, can even capture information about where the visitor came from which is usually difficult with a traditional iframe embed.

3. Purpose of Video Analytics
Video Analytics should help you understand...
• Who are your viewers?
• What videos are they watching?
• Why are they watching?
• Where are they watching?
• When are they watching?
• How long are they watching?
5. Did you know…
Most videos are like a black
hole to your website analytics.
6. Why videos are like Black holes
An iframe is like a window to
another website but a black hole to
your website analytics.
Website and video analytics are typically sent to
two different services that don’t communicate.
7. The Solution
Integrate your website and video analytics into a
Single Powerful Reporting Tool using Events.
8. Event Tracking
“Events are user interactions with content that can be
tracked independently from a web page or a screen load. ”
