Bear Stearns estimates that 2008 revenues for YouTube will be $90 million, of which $22 million comes from InVideo advertisements. Using the Bizak Business Valuation Calculator we can get a rough estimate of YouTube’s revenue valuation and EPV (Earnings per Visitor), which is the amount of money earned from each visitor to the site.

If you divide the yearly revenues by 12 you get a rough monthly revenue estimate of $7.5 million. We then enter these numbers into the calculator. At this point we’re assuming YouTube has zero costs but in actuality we know this to be false. We’ll factor in the enormous bandwidth costs of video hosting in the next section.

Based on the Bizak calculations YouTube has an EPV of $0.12 and a Bizak Estimate (business valuation estimate based on revenues) of $360 Million. This valuation is obviously a lot less than the $1.65 Billion Google paid for YouTube, however YouTube is a premium brand that must be (and was) factored into the purchase price.

Videoegg thought the acquisition of a p2p application would improve bandwidth. Maybe that didn’t work as planned. These guys are also some of the biggest assholes I’ve met.

$50 million and $60 million? I’ll have to disagree with that. After looking at VideoEgg’s samples, I can see why they’re cutting back. Their ads are just as annoying as the old pop-up type that have the users scrambling to click the big “X.” Video ads can be very successful when integrated into the start of a video stream. The secret is to keep them short. I watch them all on Hulu, MSNBC, The Weather Channel, etc.

Online Video ad revenue is small? HA! This is a case of a company chasing the latest and greatest. VideoEgg fell back asswards into the ad game and now they are realizing that the cyclical and very competitive arena they have entered is no easy game to win. No powerhouse was ever built by chasing trends and with their consistent change in direction we can count them out as any real threat to the big boys of on line advertising.

It sounds a failing company calling the market small. Video is THE largest ad medium in the world. If this market is small, then monetizing social media like Facebook apps, where VideoEgg doesn’t seem to be throwing in the towel, is even smaller since that’s a medium that is a lot less proven to advertisers, given Google’s inability to monetize MySpace pages. From what I have heard, VideoEgg is all marketing engine, but with little to no real technology behind it. Rumor also has it that they have shopped themselves around to potential acquirers but with no takers. Maybe yet another sign that contraction is finally happening in the space….

Some of Joosts most "popular" forms of advertising are their little Ad Bugs that pop up in the corner .

Ive been told eventually Joost will have into full motion 1/3 overlays like the networks and cable channels do .
