Abstract

Systems and methods for media access analytics are disclosed herein. When media content such as a video is accessed, typically by a referring link, the referrer can be identified. The referrer can be classified as an internal referrer, an external referrer, a viral referrer, or into another of a set of predefined classes. Statistics associated with access to the media content can be generated according to an associated class of referrer and presented to a user associated with the media content (e.g., a user who uploaded the video) or another authorized party.
