They’ve got to make money somehow, hopefully they do it in a tasteful way and don’t start randomly inserting commercials every xx seconds.

Awhile back I told a friend of mine who knows some people, that a 3 second advertisment should be placed infront of all partner members. Why?

Because as it stands a partner to my knowledge only gets paid “per click” of a banner, which is not that much. However with a 3 second ad at the start of every video they would get payed a “per watch” instead, and increase there earnings from advertisements.

The way I see it, a partner in the program should make more then they are, right now its pretty much free advertisement for YouTube with really no gain to the partner who hosts the ad banners. Honestly how many of you click on one of those banners? Not me, if I like what I see, I google it! And look for a cheaper price, dont you?

So there ya have it im sure ill be hated for my comment but its the truth.

YouTube was free before the purchase. It managed to make money, and even though it’s grown, it doesn’t seem like it should need these additional ads. Why doesn’t AdSense work for YouTube videos?

I dont have problem with YouTube putting ads in videos or creating pop-ups. YouTube is a free service and you cant complain as far as a source to upload videos too. If this becomes a big deal I think Google should charge for the service monthly. Bandwidth/servers are not cheap. I would be willing to pay monthly. Thats just because I do enjoy the YouTube Service.

It really was only a matter of time, Chris. Google spent $1.65 billion (if I recall correctly) on Youtube, and we both know how intensive video hosting like that can be on resources. They simply HAVE to monetize it somehow, otherwise I don’t see how it could be economically viable.

Sure, it might be a little intrusive, but isn’t all advertising? If it weren’t at least a little intrusive, it wouldn’t work. In an ideal world, we could all use Youtube all day without seeing an ad. But, that isn’t reality. I think this method Youtube is trying is perhaps the best compromise between viewer preferences and need to make a buck.

So what about charging small amounts for high quality, downloadable versions of commercial content on YouTube as a way to bring in money? Sure, Google already tried
