Audience Retention defiantly is one of the stronger signals for Google. It is the same way that people troll the results and put up a video thumbnail and when you click the video it turns out to be something else.
The audience retention drop off is such a big factor in YouTube, that is why most of the videos leave the search results in a matter of days
Good point btw about having the video over 100% when people pause and rewind!

Nice tutorial! I just did a screen cast 9 minutes and retained 69%. Why am I telling you this?! When viewing relative audience retention I thought it would have stayed well “above average” the entire time! It hovered around average. How can that be!? I typically will do subjects of 7 minutes but this one at 69% is the highest I’ve seen. Also why does absolute audience retention go up and down up and down?! Love to know or know where to better understand this! thanks for your screencast.
