google analytics - Conversion coming from Youtube ads -


i'm trying find way track "paid traffic" youtube, ie. people click on 1 of our ads, got redirected 1 of our videos, clicked on link in comment section. @ moment coming youtube appears under youtube channel in our analytics.

yet, inside youtube analytics, can see 90% of people watching specific videos come paid traffic.

i tried see if possible information youtube apis looks nothing useful, event determine how split between paid/unpaid traffic.

also, impossible find split video.. except in ga. therefore, no possible link?!

1/ possible link paid traffic internal youtube , part of "youtube" channel traffic in ga? data-wise or mathematically? 2/ there way hadve idea or approximate convertion rate?

ps: know should not seen pure conversion channel*

to answer questions:

1. possible link paid traffic internal youtube , part of "youtube" channel traffic in google analytics? data-wise or mathematically?

  • as far know, yes possible. in fact, there's no better way analyze new brand channel layout integrating google analytics. reasons given:

    the main difference between youtube analytics , google analytics former provides data videos, while latter provide data visitors of channel’s pages.

    to use feature, please refer steps given in how integrate youtube 1 brand channel google analytics

2. there way have idea or approximate conversion rate?

  • i tried looking documentation on conversion rate seems doesn't exist mentioned in conversion rate between youtube views , track sales
  • and, suggested in google adwords help, in tracking viewer conversions video ads,

    since video advertising doesn’t drive immediate conversions, recommend @ view-through conversion data, shows number of online conversions happened within 30 days after viewer saw, did not click, video ad.

i hope helps.
