ok I am keen to know some of these stats for youtube? like how much do they get a month of ad sense? I am just keen to know because my videos I have uploaded have had over 1 million hits and its got me thinking 1 million hits dam this is just from one user with 80 videos...how many pageimpressions do you think they are scoring a month and any ideas on their earnings at all... I would love ot see some stats form the high level websites eg how much they make each month can any help me out!
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/t...&range=6m&size=medium&y=r&url=www.youtube.com Compare with Digitalpoint.. n u'll know it how popular is it ( shawn dont mind please, just helpping this guy)
people leak info from now and then, any one have a estimate at all... how many impressions does digital point gain a month?
And their costs are pretty high. They probably earn millions per year, but spend equally to serve all these videos
Read here about youtube.. http://www.forbes.com/home/intellig...27/video-youtube-myspace_cx_df_0428video.html Quick summary: - 12.9 million unique visitors in March - raised $11.5 million in venture capital in the last year - bandwidth costs approaching $1 million a month - estimates generated $230 million in revenue in 2005 Adsense revenue for this much traffic is huge..
A lot of the Youtube visitors are web savvy and their not really very click happy type. This is one of the reasons why they are emphasizing on CPM.
From above stats - they are making $2 from every unique visitor roughly which is very high. Also I can understand using adsense to an extent as they will show more targetted ads but still they can have there own network. Why give Google 30% of there revenue ? Also Youtube is worth 600 Million to 1 Billion of worth. Pretty good..Huh..
Ahem. You misread your own article. YouTube doesn't make $230 million in revenue a month, that's the total predicted revenue by all the websites serving videos. Quote: In fact, it's been known for a while now that YouTube is not making enough from Adsense to pay their bandwidth bill. Hence the move towards CPM. Personally I don't know why they don't add a second banner, like a medium rectangle, to every page instead of just having the leaderboard. It's not like people will stop coming. Anyone who is already playing their videos everyday already have broadband; the extra time it would take an extra banner to load would be negligible and not even noticable.
hmm these stats of 230 million from 2005 seem very dodgey to say the least...youtube didnt really take off untill the start of this year so where the the 230 million come from... I was just keen to know because I hard form a number of sources that youtube was running at a loss because of the bandwith...yet how are they running at a loss if they are keen for new workers lol.....
