YouTube serves 1 in 3 of all online videos
By Joseph Hunkins at March 14, 2008 0 CommentsPerhaps it should come come as no surprise that one in three of all the videos viewed online are served up by YouTube.
Comscore reports that in January of 2008 a total of about 10 billion online video clips were served. 3.36 billion from Google sites while the second place video provider, Fox Interactive Media, served up 584 million. Yahoo, once in contention for the top video spot, served only 315 million and Microsoft only 199 million.
Unfortunately for Google, YouTube’s video dominance has yet to become a profitable part of Google’s online advertising empire. Google acquired YouTube last year for 1.65 billion and so far attempts to monetize the tsunami of online clips and viewers has not met with much success.
