Youtube financial statements (Whether Youtube is in profit or loss?)

    Hello,

    Does anybody have any idea about recent YouTube financial statements as to how it is performing? Like data from last year or may be year before that.

    Most of you must have already seen that report from 2009 which said that Youtube suffered a loss of around $470 million so I want to know if any recent data is available? I have also seen that news/report on web which said that YouTube earned $1 billion profit in 2010 but I guess this is all conjecture and no concrete info is available.

    And if you can tell whether the profit comes from advertising on YouTube or some other indirect means?

    Thanks

    not sure but appears to be increasing significantly
    you can tell based on the increasing number of ads on videos

    I can't believe that they were on loss in 2009. I believe that in 2011 they should have made more than 1 billion, the number of views increased exponentially.

    How many of the views in YouTube are real? Seriously?

    A few weeks ago, if you went to the top viewed, you'd see a video that was a week old with 50,000,000 views.

    Youtube and Google are making huge mistakes by not being more intelligent with their ad placement.

    Additionally, with all the copyright issues on YouTube, the quality of their search and videos dropped dramatically as well as viewership.

    ...I've went to a video on a musicians personal page...and the video was claimed as copyright infringement by their record label... wat
