It’s been impossible not to notice the increase in the number of internet video viewers and the increased length of time they spend watching. Still, a look at the actual numbers, and the impact on advertising, is profound. You can learn all about this and more in a new report on the Global Online Media Landscape by The Nielsen Company Online.

Report highlights:

  • The number of American users frequenting online video destinations has climbed 339% since 2003
  • In the last year, unique viewers of online video grew 10%, the number of streams grew 41%, the streams per user grew 27% and the total minutes engaged with online video grew 71%

The report also covers the impact of social media on advertising.

Here’s a short video describing the report (and yes, it’s very significant that Nielson is using YouTube to help get the word out about the report):
