Last but not least: Welcome to AdTube
Now it's official: YouTube, the video portal Google acquired during its latest shopping spree, is receiving more search queries than Yahoo, the world's second-largest search engine after Google.
Now it's official: YouTube, the video portal that Google took with it from its last shopping spree, has more search queries than Yahoo, the world's number two search engine after Google. According to Comscore.com, Google had 7.6 billion search queries in August, YouTube 2.6 billion and Yahoo 2.4 billion. MySpace with 585 million and Facebook with 186 million search queries look a little old in comparison.
This is good news for Google. The internet giant has set about turning YouTube into a cash cow. According to Adage, this could also work: Analogous to the Adwords used by the search engine - Google's main source of income - so-called video search ads are placed on YouTube. However, Adage wonders whether people, who mostly visit YouTube to pass the time, are really interested in commercial advertising. But either way: 2.6 billion search queries per month simply to pass the time - that's pretty good.
