Google sites named as top for video productions viewed

New research suggests that more than four in ten videos watched online were on a Google website, although the majority of these were on YouTube, says a new report.

Four out of ten video productions viewed online in the United States in July are watched on a Google website, according to new research.

The report, released by comScore, indicated that 41.9 per cent of more than 21 billion online videos watched that month were watched on a site belonging to the search engine.

YouTube accounted for 99 per cent of more than 8.9 billion clips seen on a Google site.

The next largest share was held by Viacom Digital, which made up 3.8 per cent, while Microsoft sites came in third with 3 per cent.

These figures are the highest ever recorded for online video viewings, which were made up of those that had been streamed and also those progressively downloaded.

In the report, it was shown that the number of users was a record in July too, with 158 million people in the country taking part.

Google was named as the search engine that people trust the most by Dan Oliver from .net magazine last week.

He claimed it would take it would be extremely hard for any of its competitors to overtake them in popularity at this point in time because of the trust they have built up.
