Do you think he is making any type of money from people watching his video?

Do you think people are buying his albums because of this?

I thought it would be MUCH more.

How many visits does YouTube get daily?

They had *all* their front page videos/links pointing to Rick Roll on April Fools.

He is laughing all the way to the bank, I'm sure 0.1 percent went out to buy the song.
