Having my video on more websites means that more people will view it. So the real question is how does more people viewing my video benefit me?

As far as I know, most of the video sites are pretty good about only counting views when someone stays for the whole video (or half of the video).

I also wanted to comment that some of these reporting numbers are probably overated. I am lucky to have slow dial-up here since we formed a internet cooperative (.org) to get it. I sometimes have to connect to your blog 5 or 6 times just to see half the pictures. Sometimes I connect more often because it is worth it to see your photos and read about your interests. It all depends on a lot of things. I generally don't try the videos. The satellite internet is almost affordable here now but I suspect there is a lot of slow rural dial-up connections out there that also time out.
