Embedded Videos View Counts Are Missing in Youtube Analytics – External Traffic
Maybe I could be wrong but when I was embedding the video link directly into the WordPress Editor or even before that when I was using some other Plugin to embedded the videos; the Youtube Analytics was showing Views from my website in External – Traffic Sources. But now even the videos are getting played with one click in Chrome and Firefox (included Incognito Mode) but 0 view counts.
