Hello guys, first of all I want to excuse my english ... I am really pissed by Smart Pricing that hitted my ackount so bad, and all small publishers here in WebmasterWorld.
I agree that site what does not make "favour" to advertisers should earn little, but hey I am going to the internet cafe in my town and 50% of peeps there are browsing youtube others playing WOW, these users are from 14 to 18 years old (I hope they don't click on the ads) they does not have credit cards even. I am not saying that these users are dumb but I am seeing really serious business sites advertising in youtube.
Infact youtube is google brand and they never smartprice himself, they even starting a new direct video advertisement (1000 advert views - 20 usd), I know videos making 10, 20k or even more per day. Pretty expensive isn't it? I just want to know where is the smart thing here?, why youtube users are smarter than mine, I already know the answer what kind of users i have ... but this is not the place where I promote how good my site is (the site is not in english) :).
So I think they actually earn from this, If we all get banned and all advertisers are shared betwean youtube and search results, google probably will loose large percent from market but all the thing with "sharing revenue" is going to .... nowhere :). this is just to "complete te circle" I just pray that google will never buy myspace and AFF (adult friend finder) so in this moment google will say - we don't need small publishers we already had more than 50% of worldwide traffic.
