Didn't profit reports announced today show that Google's revenue declined. They showed an increase in profits because of cost cutting.
Everyone has so much faith in Google like they are secretly cooking up a master plan with all these ventures that don't make money. Truth is, they don't have a plan. They haven't innovated with ONE SINGLE PRODUCT. If they had a history of innovation, I would believe, but they don't.
Even with Youtube, they bought it, than sat around while hulu.com became the source for legit premium television and movie content. Now, several years later they just starting to announce (not do, announce) deals with big media company. Yep, Google sure is on the cutting edge...lol.jim (at) amateursconvert . com Amateurs ConvertComment

I do not think $750mil/year is the correct estimation of their costs of running youtube - that's just way too much. Most likely it falls within $100-200mil/year range and their loss on that is $100mil/year max, most likely less - and that's much easier to swallow than $500mil/year loss. At that price than can afford to just hang around for the next decade to see if something profitable will maybe pop out of it..

anyone else notice that they ignored the entire revenue stream that comes from promoting your videos via keywords.In effect, Google is paying you to enjoy YouTube videos. In return, it gets the chance to show you some advertising. But adoption of those big-ticket items (YouTube sells homepage roadblock ads at $175,000 per day and branded channels at $200,000 apiece) has been limited, and Google AdWords image advertising remains the primary revenue source for YouTube.

count the number of videos that don't have a featured list of videos beside it.
good luck finding any, and if you clicked on any of those videos google just got paid.

Youtube could help google optimize their PPC advertisements to show more relevant results on other sites than their own since they could profile users better.
As example a surfer could search for "travel europe" on google and google would return regular results + PPC advertisement.
If google could fetch "data" at the same time from youtube showing "drunk partyclips" they could return better results focusing on places like Prague/Bulgaria and nightlife while if there is a newly added "given birth to my 3rd child" video in their youtube account they might get better revenues from returning results based on family friendly resorts at the beach.
Increased revenues from such things could not directly be contributed to youtube, it just add more value to their bottom lineI buy plugs

It'll be interesting to see if Hulu joins YouTube at the top soon. They're closing in on US rank at least, 35 and rapidly increasing to YouTube's 4...I predict especially with the heavy advertising they've started to do, they'll be top 10 in the US by the end of the year. It seems like they already have the money making down pat too.Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads? Hit me up.Comment

It is doomed in it's current form. I seriously doubt they will keep it in its current form though. But they have been very slow to make changes so who knows.

Yeah, Hulu actually has more revenue than Youtube as well, at least according to analysts reports for 2008 so they know how to do something right.
So Google had all that brand recognition and traffic and Hulu jumped in, signed deals, and is making more than them. Just goes to prove what I've been saying that Google is not innovating nor is it making any smart moves. The whole data mining argument is just nonsense. If google could make more money, they would do it. They're not sitting back and losing money on purpose so they can execute some brilliant plan in the future. If that was the case they wouldn't have hired a specialist to cut costs like crazy these past several months just so they could turn a profit this quarter.
But they are several years late in making deals with movie and TV networks. They were the first big tube site and already they are playing catch up before they even turned a profit. Someone should be fired if you ask me.Last edited by mynameisjim; 04-16-2009, 09:57 PM.jim (at) amateursconvert . com Amateurs ConvertComment

Well they were riding on the wave of copyrighted content, and now record companies and media corps are making them take a lot of it off the moment it hits. I tried uploading a song only (i.e. no accompanying music video) to YT, a pretty unknown song, but it was apparently under copyright and the record company got it off YT immediately and I know for sure it wasn't ALWAYS like that. There's absolutely no reason for them to work with YT when YT owes nearly 100% of their clout to those companies...the only reason there's nearly the amount of people there to watch amateur videos there is because they were already there watching clips of shows, music videos, news clips, etc. So those people will slowly but surely migrate to Hulu as the word gets out more. The interesting thing is that Hulu even works with 3rd party sites if it has to - like I think every South Park video on Hulu actually redirects to the video on SouthParkStudios.com.Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads?
