Okay, so fun poll time. I've got a video on the interwebz, about online "poker" being rigged. Of course it's just a parody/satire, and in no way to be taken seriously.
Looking at my view stats, I came up with a list of the top 5 countries that have viewed it the most, ie: which countries search the term "online poker is rigged" or some variation of it the most.
So let's play a fun game. People, post 3 answers:
1) The top country you think shows up. 2) Any country you think would be on the list. 3) Your guess as to the top 5 countries, in any particular order.
Let's see how close everyone gets Of course I will post the actual list once there's a few posts

why do you have to high jack this thread and make it about you? He's obviously done this as a bit of fun and in no way was it aimed at you, So stick to your own threads if you want to bitch and moan. this is meant to be light hearted.

I don't really wanna derail retributions thread too much, but just let me say: You don't even know what you're talking about, greycat was one of the aliases used in the UB/AP super-user scandal, had zilch to do with Stars. And Zilch to do with online poker being rigged.
Anyway - I really wouldn't have a clue retribution
I'll say #1 UK though, just based on traffic more than anything else, I'll put Canada and US there as well for same reasons, in no particular order.
How much 'organic' traffic does your youtube video actually get though? And how do the country statistics for that video contrast to your other videos?
My choice is mostly based on countries which are only feeling the financial crisis in a soft way, allowing medium class to keep enjoying the small pleasures of life, like playing online poker, and consequently bringing a bigger number of people with real money to apply on who don’t know how to play to the tables with real money.
I think there's a couple of factors to take into consideration but I guess the most important are traffic and language. Not sure if amateur players from non-english countries even know what the term rigtard is...

Wasn't expecting a question like this, lol.
For my rigged video, I'd say about 80% of the traffic it gets is search engine traffic with the other 20% coming from shares and/or related videos.
As for the reast of my channel, organic traffic, ie: purely search engines such as google/youtube etc I'd say around 20% of my monthly hits.
Around 40% are related videos, ie when someone watches avideo, 1 of mine comes up.
Around 30% is direct traffic, ie: shares, posting on websites and such. The greatest thing is, my videos are starting to get regular views from more prominent sites like PokerNews and 2+2 which is kind of cool that people are liking them enough to post them.

damn almost nailed it: got the 1st two questions right, and 4 out of 5 countries correct in the 3rd question...russia was the reason of my miserable failure anyways the stats are as they are mainly because your videos are in english, so many countries where people don't use english very widely fall out of picture imo...still funny enough thread
