What does article teach about AM?

Mind you i was laughing through most of this until the last paragraph or so, where he states that the ads he ran covered most of his legal expenses so far. I guess it goes to show that even mis-type in idiots who go to the wrong site still convert in "saturated" niches, lololol.

I'd personally threaten YouTube with changing utube.com to a website that says "Our site is being taken offline". Imagine 150,000 people a day viewing a website that said youtube got shut down. Better yet, after 10 seconds I'd redirect them to metacafe.

I guess no one told him how much that traffic is worth.

WHERE THE F*** ARE THE VIDEOS??? 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS PIECE OF S*** WEBSITE? GOOGLE GOT TAKEN.

Some confused people call the phone number on his company's Web site.

You gotta love retards....

As for filing a lawsuit against Google, from the very beginning I would have moved the official site to a new location, put up a notice on utube.com (like they seem to have at this very moment), and created a mock-youtube site with ads all over. Maybe store info saved by users "signing in"

UTube's owner should have seen the potential from the very beginning....

Lol... did anyone actually look at utube.com...

Guys know what they are doing now... fucking loaded with ads and they changed their URL.

I think utube.com changed their site to be primarily focused around the video audience a few months back. When that article was written though, they only had some adsense to the right of their company logo.

But it doesn't speak very highly of the video audience if some idiot visitor gets pissed because he can't spell, "you." I mean who actually takes time to email the site because he typed in the url incorrectly.

This darn internet thingy isn't working like it should...

By the way, I wonder how much someone could have bought the domain for back when the company first started having bandwidth problems. I bet they would have sold it cheap because they are just a tube company. But I might be wrong...

 

[Mr. Websites]

They did mention in the article that the newfound traffic was costing them upwards of $1,700 per month in hosting; let alone the flood of hate mail and phone calls. It follows that they were bound to try recouping their costs. If monetized properly, though, the website could contribute quite a bit to the company’s bottom-line.

Its about time they smartened up. I wonder if Google every tried to acquire this domain?
