My problem, and atrain this would help you too, is to get shots of something out of the ordinary. Amtrak Dome Car, steam engine, ect all help boost views.

I still wonder how one of my dozen of so Wolverine videos amassed 600+ views :?

heres the secret MQT, that one big video.

mine is "train and Fire Trcuk" where amtrak 355 was comming and so was a fire truck, and htey had a horn duel at the crossing. it has 60,000 views (30% of all views).

next for me is "NS train stalls on Corssing" with only 20,000 (10% of all views)... as you can see there is a big drop off.

then about 5 with around 7,000 views, then it 4 with 4,000... that is just looking at my top ten (#1 has 60,000, #10 has 2,600) outside of those top ten i have another 445 videos that are all lowere view counts... in fact take out my top 10 i only have 80,811 total views. the average for the bottom 445 is 180 views (most have more and some have less)

I find it strange that my video "CSX Q321 5-18-12" has gotten 98 views in 7 days, more views than any of my other videos, while my other older CSX Q321 videos don't have that many views.

The key is subscriptions and viewers who keep coming back. Also, the faster your video gets views, the more liekly it comes up as #1 in a normal search. Therefor, posting videos here helps alot if its highly relevant and/or unusual. 20 views in a few hours boosts relevancy, which is what the searches defaut settings look for.

Mona Lake Fishing Report 5-27-12 (20:03 EDT- 22:06 EDT):

3 Yellow Perch (4 inches-8 inches)
2 White Perch (8in-12in)
1 Bluegill/Sunfish Hybrid (4 inches)
1 Freshwater Drum (13 inches)
1 LARGE Fathead Minnow (6 inches) [Thrown Back out and caught that 26-inch Cat 5 minutes later]
3 Channel Catfish:
--> 26 inches
--> 24 inches
--> 17 inches

Depth Caught ranged from 5ft to 15 ft
Water Temp: 72 F
Wind: ESE @ 5-15 MPH (Dying down)
Remarks:
--> Not bad considering all the boats running up and down Mona Lake. Still early in the season for Channel Catfish, but theyy're bitin'. Bluegill way down from last year. No Bass this year yet.
