Google and the rest of the usual suspects continue to dominate video

The spring is a time of many changes that even the monthly Compete Blog video market share post isn’t exempt from. We have overhauled our methodology to include more sites and to be more inclusive with the sites we have previously reported on. These changes are most obvious at the top of the list, with YouTube now being included under the Google heading. The result of these changes is a more comprehensive view of the online video market in terms of actual share per company.
Although the methodology has changed, the landscape of the market remains the same: the Google/YouTube combination continues to dominate, totaling just under 150 million sessions in March. This total is more than three and a half times bigger than their closest competitor, MySpace.
- Nearly 69 million people watched video content online at one of the top 20 video sites in March
- The major search properties and MySpace continued to hold the top spots
- Even AOL, the search property with the lowest session totals, is still 70% higher than the biggest non-search/MySpace site
ManiaTV! comes in sixth on our list this month, featuring a web television focus. They bill themselves as the “first Internet-based television network” and focus on youth culture entertainment, including a live call-in show with host Tom Green. So how is pulling on that “star” power working for them? Surprisingly well.
What’s the lesson to be learned here? While the giants of the Internet don’t look like they’ll be dislodged from the top spots in the video market any time soon, there is still plenty of attention to be had beyond the top five spots.

Hi,
There are a lot of video sharing sites around. You sure have heard about YouTube, Revver or Dailymotion, but there are many others competing to be the number one, or targeting a specific audience, whether geographically (China, Japan, Turkey…), by language (German, Arabic, French…) or for the kind of content they enable to publish (cooking, planes, extreme sports…).
Depending of the type of video you want to publish, it could be better to do it in a less-known sharing video site that effectively matches its content than in the most renown ones. Your video will not be lost in the middle of hundreds of thousands others, and it will be seen by people more interested by it (and you can still publish it on the top sharing sites at the same time).
But where to find ut which site is matching the best your video?
ilikesharingvideos.com offers a growing list of already 450 video sharing sites you can search in by country, niche (61 niches listed and growing) and Alexa’s rank.
For each of them, you will get useful information such as their history, the country from which most of their visitors come, their niche, their rank, the latest news about them…
This site offers some other interesting features, like how to make money with your videos, and it gives advices to make a video viral.
So if you are interested in video sharing marketing or in publishing your own videos, give an eye to this site, it worths it.
