The result

Not run yet. Results will be published here with the channel owner’s own Studio numbers.

Who says it

The “Fastest way to get views” video reports that Part 2 of its own series got 42% of its traffic from Suggested, and that 91% of that came from Part 1.

The set-up

One channel publishes a four-part series, joined by a playlist, end screens and matching thumbnails, and compares it with the four one-off videos published either side of it.

How to read this

Every result on these pages comes from one channel, published by the person who owns it, from their own YouTube Studio. Results are never combined across channels. A handful of videos on one channel is an experiment, not proof.

Test it on your own channel

Tag the parts of your series as group A and the one-off videos either side of it as group B.

VideoCore reads only your channel’s own YouTube Analytics, and only you see it. Comparisons with your typical video are calculated by VideoCore from your YouTube Analytics; they are not YouTube figures.

Do this: run M2 on your channel (you’ll need to be signed in with your channel connected).
