Something like in the $100-$1,000 ranges. I don't know about you , but I don't think I want to spend $200,000 a day in advertising. That kind of money I can find much better use for, Like buying me another Lambo! I agree, I think youtube needs to put a smaller advertising campagne for the smaller businesses as well.

For instance when you conduct a search on youtube why is it that I receive some random display ad in the corner? As opposed to them integrating the same targeted advertising they have on google into youtube. I understand the video market is somewhat different, but really it seems to me they are trying too hard to throw their old model out the door in a chase for the video holygrail of advertising - as opposed to developing both. Brand advertisers a bit weary about advertising next to random cat videos? Well do what you did with adsense and open it up to mom and pop advertisers to come in and take their place, even if it is only with text links at first and video ads in time.

Thats a lot of money for a website which just hosts videos which were created by other creative minds. However, has anyone done much research about you tubes popularity. I think over the next couple of years, the shift will be away from youtube. It hosts the same old tiring type of videos, and news clips.

I've said it 100 times. Create commercial accounts and start charging a subscription for them (i.e. $20/month). Half the videos on YouTube are from people trying to get users over to their site, so make them pay for it. There is your quasi-advertising revenue and you don't even have to worry about doing any work. Make the heavy commercial contributors pay. I am one of them (small-cap stocks) and would gladly pay the $20/month. GT If Google is relying on good ol’ front page ads, this doesn’t bode very well for the rest of the industry.
