And yea! I just love the way they do they business and acquire potential businesses. Ofcourse, they can't make everyone happy but they've their own rules and they make good money - this is what I like about them.

And now, they're closing the Referral Progs - they know what to do when......however, I'm gonna miss referral earning

Lol youtube just doesn't stop growing.

It's obvious google knows what it's doing and besides that youtube is so integrated with internet right now that there is little chances of having it start losing it's power.

You got that right Placebo, there is nothing comparable to Youtube right now in Viral Marketing.

YouTube is the most powerful when it comes to videos and it'll continue to dominate for long because of the power behind it...but it's somewhat difficult to use YouTube for traffic.

I don't think so. If one knows how to market on Youtube, then probably he/she must be getting tons of viral traffic.
