Hi everyone !

Just a quick question ( yeah, I'm the one with those thousand questions on WA lol, although I'm asking less and less there, especially since it will be Partha's last day )

Anyway, do anyone of you have a Youtube channel as well and do you see also see 'organic video traffic" on your Google analytics? (see screenshot).

Is that traffic coming from my YouTube videos?

I did make a bit of effort to promote my videos on my Facebook page and then maybe got referred back to my site from Youtube, because I usually put a link to my site in the description and in the first comment of my vids, and I have been occupied by adding lots of links that I had forgotten to do in the past.

Trying to figure out GA4 is terrible lol

thanks!

Lizzy

PS, yeah, organic SEO is the worst ever, I know :-p

Hi Lizzy,

Organic video traffic is from all organic video sources. You should be able to drill down and add a 'Session Source/Medium' attribute to the data. Here's a pretty comprehensive article on the process (the part you want is about halfway down the page) ... https://searchengineland.com/measure-organic-traffic-ga4-436994
