Awesome collection of tools !

However, I was hoping to find more true tracking tools (like TubeMogul or YouTube insights) to keep track of views, discovery paths, or possibly even clicks from URLs in a video’s description .

These tools are more for monitoring a topic or user (which is still useful for reputation management and content creation ideas) but not necessarily for tracking purposes.

As an interesting fun fact, I’ve found that if your video is monitored by someone through video-alerts.com, video-alerts is temporarily listed as linking back to your video on YouTube (under the Statistics & Data tab).

With all the power of social media marketing and networking it really is important to make sure you know what people are saying about you.
