Question 3

What factors determine if a video appears on YouTube Trending?

Accepted Answer

YouTube's trending algorithm considers multiple factors: view count velocity (how quickly views accumulate), engagement rate (likes, comments, shares), video age (newer videos are favored), geographic relevance, and content quality signals.

You can filter by country, date, and content type (videos vs. shorts) to identify trends and opportunities.

Question 5

What are YouTube Shorts trending in Canada?

Accepted Answer

YouTube Shorts are vertical, short-form videos (under 60 seconds) that have their own trending section. In Canada, trending Shorts often feature quick entertainment, viral challenges, comedy sketches, and bite-sized content. FameLifter tracks both regular trending videos and Shorts separately, allowing you to analyze performance differences between formats.

Question 6

How accurate is FameLifter's trending data?

Accepted Answer

FameLifter uses the official YouTube Data API v3 to fetch trending data directly from YouTube's servers. Data is captured hourly and includes verified metrics such as view counts, like counts, comment counts, and trending positions. All statistics are sourced directly from YouTube and updated regularly to ensure accuracy and freshness.

Question 7

Can I see historical trending data for past dates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FameLifter maintains historical trending data allowing you to analyze what was trending on specific dates. You can use the date selector to view trending videos from previous days and compare performance across different time periods. This helps identify trending patterns, seasonal trends, and content opportunities.

Question 8

What's the difference between 'Trending,' 'Shorts,' and 'Recently Trending' tabs?

Accepted Answer

The 'Trending' tab shows regular YouTube videos currently trending, typically longer-form content. 'Shorts' displays trending short-form vertical videos under 60 seconds. 'Recently Trending' shows videos that were recently trending but may have dropped off the main trending page, helping you identify rapidly rising or declining content.
