[YouTube-API] Re: Is youtube API counting views

Hello,

I believe that at least one of the various video analytics reports
that we make available to video owners from the YouTube website breaks
down the view counts for embedded videos by the domain on which the
video was embedded. Assuming that's the case (I don't have any good
data to check against right now...) you should be able to refer to
that report to confirm that you're getting attribution for views from
the embedded video on your domain.

Cheers,
