Youtube traffic page url referral

[xeonet32]

Hello,

How can I see which videos from Youtube that has my domain inserted in their description url drive traffic to my domain? I can see in GA how many visitors are coming from Youtube to my domain, but I can't see what Youtube video pages has driven traffic.

Any help?

Tag your URLs with utm tags. Use a consistent naming convention like this.

• Source: YouTube
• Medium: Social
• Campaign Name: Name of Video Series, Video Game, Some Grouping to Reference the type of video it is
• Content: Video Title or Reference

True, you can't track them since they pass with redirector that. And redirector hide referral traffic.

But there is workaround. You need to create brand new GA property and put it here:

Please note that i wasn't link them yet so i'm not 100% sure that you can track them all. I can see clicks in notes/annotations from Youtube Analytics:
https://www.youtube.com/analytics?o=U
And if you can't track them all still you can tag links with URL builder:
