    Well, a few weeks back, I was wondering how exactly does You Tube make money, and couldn't figure it out. Then I found out today, while surfing their site:

    You Tube now has Adsense ads. :D

    Mods, I have no idea where to put this post. Please move it as you see fit.

    When you're as big as You Tube, I guess everyone bends over backwards to get a piece of your pie. :D

    The *Word of The Day is MONEY*... Anyway and How you can get it...

    I've seen a few Video Game, Studio Sites that have Adsense on them....

    Nothing wrong with them making an *Extra Buck or Two*... If they can get away with it...

    They certainly did it the right way, that's for sure. They spent what, almost a full year? giving people full use of their site for free with no ads in sight. Very nicely done! Nowadays, people slap on their Adsense ads before the site is even finished! LOL.

    Did you say anything to them about it? Hard to argue against the screenshot you have.

    If not you'll see them switch to CPM. I don't think they'll make nearly as much as they think, though. I mean, who clicks on some ads when all they want to see are some videos? And the bandwidth usage has to be MASSIVE.
