Video units - worth the trouble?
August 12th 2008 02:31
Hey, Jon, what gives with the youtube 'video units'? They get a good response but so far I've earned 6 cents, my 'earnings' continue to plummet, such that $1.30 is now a good day, a good day used to yield almost $8, I thought the video units might help and perhaps indirectly they have a bit, but a fall of almost 80% in 3 months seems a bit hard to take.
I guess you can't read Google's mind but neither can I.
If I were you, I'd be as seriously worried as I am.
Google MUST be redistributing its money elsewhere as without that income their bottom line would be heading down too, which clearly it is not.
Unless, of course, those executives who left know something which we don't.
Of course it might be just me, but just me includes several blogs, as you know. This suggests that it is not JUST ME.

Incidentally you have made no comment on the video units, I'd value your opinion, as may others.

It looks good and I think it will fit well with some blogs rather than others, that's my assessment at this stage and I'm already turning to selectivity, but with such escalating numbers of bloggers I can't see much financial benefit if their adsense so far is any parameter. Good for Google as it has such a wide base, not so good for us, unless anyone else has anything to say on the matter, but most seem too scared or completely disinterested.
So I'll leave it at that, and decide myself what I'll do in the long run, I don't like being an unpaid forum for free publicity for advertisers.
Thanks for your responses.
