I think what a lot of people are forgetting is its not the actual site that is pulling in revenue, but these visitors sign up for an "account" so they can post their about videos. Get enough email addresses + some "marketing" = nice return

My brothers friend has some free video game site and makes people register with their info before they can play. He says he makes 20x more money from email marketing to those people than he does off any ads on the site

my are people are still stuck on that the only way to make money is to get people to a site, get them to click on the affiliate link and join. Surfers these days are way more savvy then they were 5 years ago. Conversion rates were high because people didnt know that there was so many torrent sites, tube sites, newz and free sites to download content from... it was only napster, limewire and old fashioned IRC.

I was thought to be a geek when i was in college because i know how to use mIRC, and even before that, AOL chat rooms.

Eh, times have changed and its time to adapt or die IMO
