Track Video Views with Vimeo

I’m looking to develop a member site and wonder if I’d be able to track video views for protected video content that is hosted with vimeo.

This article says it is possible.

Please let me know if you have any experience or thoughts on this.

Thank you!

Hi Andrew.

s2Member doesn’t integrate with Vimeo… But if you mean outside of s2Member, I guess so. Vimeo seems to give that for Plus users.

I remember TubeMogul works for Vimeo too. http://www.tubemogul.com/company/blog/2008/07/vimeo-distribution-tracking-added/

I went to the TubeMogul and the distribution service seems to have been moved to OneLoad now. http://www.oneload.com/

I hope that helps.

Note: I’m moving this from the Pre-Sale Qs. forum.

HI Cristian

Thanks for your help here. I thought that the pro service for vimeo can work with S2 Member. I think i have a client using that solution. The client said that they needed more analytics. They need to be able to analyze down to the user: how often they log on, what videos they watch, when they watch, and how often they watch. Is there anything capable of doing that for a member site?

I don’t know what integrates the WordPress user with Vimeo to track like that.

What you could do, maybe, is use a tracking script (e.g. Prosper202) and create redirections for each video, so instead of using the URL to the file in Vimeo, you’d use the URL to the tracking script, with tracking vars, and that’d then redirect to the video file. That’d way you’d be able to keep a log of what user watched what videos how many times.

I hope that helps. :)
