As she started the recruiting process in January of her junior year, DD made a video that she could send to college coaches. There were only 5 schools she was looking at- (3) in R.I., (1) in Maine and one in VT. When she talked to the coaches they all asked her to send video, which she did.
This week I saw on DFP where someone had noted that you could check to see what states the people were in that were viewing your video. I had forgotten about that, so when I got a chance I tried it.
The funny thing was that none of her views came from the states where she was looking at colleges! I know that every email update she sent had both a link to her online profile as well as her video. I just found it interesting. In fact, one of the coaches replied within 12 hrs after she sent the link and the coach sounded like she liked what she was seeing. So who knows....

I have seen that occur. My assumption is that either the coach is new to program and moved from out of state and is viewing on cell phone with out of state area code or perhaps the coach was at conference and had location services on and the viewing location showed as a different state. It occurred for several views for my youngest but she knows several of the coaches were in Nevada at the time at National conference so location viewed showed as Nevada.

I know this does not answer your question, but it is nice to hear she got that response. Good luck.

It's also important to note that the location is based on where their internet is provided. This may not be as big of an issue for colleges. But most companies I have ever worked for, the internet location looks like it originates at the corporate office; usually out of state.

....just some random late night useless info for ya' :)
