14 DAY TRIAL // If you're curios about the number of the clips indexed by Google Video you should know that it is exactly 36.228.091. Or not? As far I can see, the number is different every time you sort the videos for a certain criteria so it's quite weird because even Google is unsure how many clips its service has. Haochi from Googlefied tried to create a statistic of the videos indexed by Google's product but it is very different from the numbers returned to me.
"I don't know the exact number of how many videos Google Video indexed, but I think it's somewhere between 70 to 80 million videos*. Hey, even Google can't tell for sure: about 71,268,336, if you are sorting the videos by the upload time. However, the number changes every time you change the way you sort the videos," Haochi said.
However, his results were also different depending on the filter he chose. These are the results obtained by Haochi: - 76,414,447 - Sort by relevance - 71,268,336 - Sort by date - 76,963,226 - Sort by title - 78,647,067 - Sort by rating - 75,653,248 - Sort by popularity
Obviously, the number of the clips indexed by Google Video is huge so we cannot guess it using this kind of criteria. At this time, I'm curios what is the exact number of the clips hosted by the famous YouTube. Probably it is much bigger than the one owned by Google Video because the parent company Google signs numerous agreements with a lot of firms, most of them bringing new content to YouTube. Some time ago, the Mountain View giant sustained that it managed to make 1000 partnerships just after the Viacom removal. As you might know, the MTV owner demanded YouTube to remove almost 100.000 clips from the page and then sued the parent company, requiring $1 billion in damages.
