I took what amounted to a 6 week break from consistently posting video every 3-4 days for over 4-5 years. This was before I was 'put on hold' through the Troubadour show by having to OK video to be posted on Haley's channel, not mine. The 6 week 'break' resulted in the view counts dropping to levels below Pre-2015 aka before Haley joined PMJ. Illustrated by this analytics graph, a screen capture I took as White Rabbit had an unexpected surge of views....
I posted a video from Drew, from Morgan, two of Casey's but they all struggled to get even 1000 views.
WR getting 20,000 views essentially in 5-6 days was a HUGE surprise. Even bigger, as of now, Check Please has been up a little over 2 1/2 days already has over 10,000 views and more likes than WR w/ half the views....
Quote:CP: 10,487 views - 400 Likes
WR: 21,990 views - 398 Likes
Sunny Afternoon from Ribfest posted before these two has settled at 3000 views.
Let's Start from the Troubadour has only 1088 views....
Both these videos are getting more views than the #TeamHaleyFans videos posted on Haley's channel, which has twice the subscribers my channel has
Of note, these kinds of spikes happen usually to Haley's covers. It's is VERY rare to get this kind of traffic on one of Haley's original songs....
As I said earlier, most of my videos, top out 1000-2000 after their debut, then slowly gain views....
So basically....could I have been going about this the wrong way? Maybe the hiatus of constantly posting new videos ended up helping the views once I started posting again? Did absence make the heart grow fonder?
