Youtube Analytics?

[AustinAdvice]

Most networks have a single CMS. If they were to show you the analytics of the CMS you would see the entire network. Because this is a security risk they have to develop a CMS dashboard that only shows your channel. Some, like Maker Studios, have a cool dashboard with fancy graphics. Others have none and maybe do not have the staff to support creating something like this. Its all about transparency and if your network doesn't share this info with you then you might want to move to one that does.

That is 100% false...

Actually its correct. When you partner with any of the larger networks you go under their CMS. YouTube does not give you a separate CMS, if they did you would be a direct YouTube partner and not under a network. Hope this clears up your confusion!

Enabling revenue visibility on a CMS linked channel does not allow them access to the networks analytics, it allows them access to the individual channel analytics. Again, you are still wrong. Dashboards are not transparency, a web dev can easily edit the information provided and correct / modify numbers.[DOUBLEPOST=1373210007,1373209802][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yes your CMS statement is correct, but that has nothing to do with your past message. It is also common knowledge. We were discussing revenue visibility.

Owners of the CMS get the revenue report in their analytics. If they shared this with their network everyone would see the entire networks revenue. I know this because of a CMS error enabled us to see every subnetwork under our parent network. All revenue, everything. I just was mentioning it because your post said:

That is 100% false...

So even if you didnt agree with the entire statement you did agree with at least a portion nullifying your percentage, at least by your own logic.

This all has to do with revenue visibility, because the owner of the CMS can share it all doesn't mean they should share it all. It is full of sensitive data that the average user, even the subnetwork probably should not know. That is why they make dashboards to share it with their users. I get the feeling you are saying all networks steal and that is why they hide it. When in fact, they are just protecting their corporate financials from public eyes. These are, for the most part not public corporations, meaning they are under no premise that they must share their financial data with the world. If a network does not even share your revenue then yes, they are probably doing nefarious things with it. But if they share the data, and it is the agreed upon % less than what your YouTube dashboard shows then they are being transparent.

Average users are ignorant to the workings of CMS and the breakdown of the percentages. Imagine if they saw that channel X that they deem to be inferior to theirs received a higher % payout. Maybe channel X has a better contract, whatever. The point is that Average YouTuber would become upset and feel cheated, maybe make a video or 2 discussing what was made and why they were being stolen from. There are many variables involved with CPM and one person may make more than another due to these variables. It is best that each person not be able to see the other person's earnings.

I hope this clarified it for you a bit better.

Here is my point which you again seem to not understand.

User accounts connected to a CMS can have web-claiming enabled and revenue visibility. Enabling a user account with revenue visibility allows them to see their account and their account only.

A dashboard means little to nothing to most intelligent YouTube creators. Any web developer can easily change the statistics and take revenue off the top. YouTube analytics is the only 100% correct, un-editable source which networks can not play with.


I am not sure who lied to you, but revenue visibility enabled for one channel allows that one channel to see their own statistics, not others.

Revenue visibility is controlled by the network so they have disabled it. Most networks make excuses about it, but at the end of the day it means your earnings are being hidden from you.

That sucks, I really like FullScreen but I can't understand why in some days I make a lot and in other days I make near to nothing.
