YouTube is now serving over one billion views per day as it celebrates the third anniversary of being acquired by Google.

To mark the milestone, there is a celebratory logo on the YouTube website today. Chad Hurley, YouTube’s chief executive and co-founder wrote on the video sharing site's blog: “Three years ago today… we’d just made headlines by joining with Google in our shared goal of organising the world’s information (in our case video) and making it easily and quickly accessible to anyone, anywhere.

“Today, I'm proud to say that we have been serving well over a billion views a day on YouTube. This is great moment in our short history and we owe it all to you.”

heheh the really business ! they do nothing.....
we make they rich!

That is really interesting.... 1 billion visitors per day... can't even think off all the money they make..:D

Man I can even image if I could get one billion hits per day to my website.. Well you could pretty much figure out the rest lol.

That figure is utterly amazing.

I can't comprehend that number... my brain just can't process it.

...but I know it's a lot.

And the internet is pretty young still really.

And YouTube is growing. I'm sure there's plenty more growth for YouTube.

I have only a vague memory of pre-Google internet, but it was a different place.

That is an amazing statistic.

It shows the power of the Internet.

Mind you, I shouldn't be suprised - I spend far too long on there - it gets addictive!

Off to find the next 'big thing!'

such a huge traffic, and huge opportunities for us....

What you must realize is that YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine. Yes it it a video site but it is a search engine too.

What this billion number is telling me is that people want to get their search questions answered in video format. If you are marketing, you want to be helping people understand your market with video.

Well, youtube is a very good and common social media network and it is very popular among the internet users, most of the people likes to use because they like to watch a video rather then going through the whole text... You can add your own videos too on youtube but try to utilize this medium in a positive manner...

Is incredible, is the most important page of videos in the world...

Yes indeed, but did you know that Facebook has hit 49 Billion pages views a month, that's 19 Billion more than Youtube, and 10 times more than Google...who owns youtube.

Yes this 1 billion views is consuming 30% of internet bandwidth.

youtube is very popular in the world now. It will be good profitable .

Keeping in vision that popularity of youtube, what do you guys think it will be earning on daily basis? Plus what is the basic reason of its popularity?

Damn! That's a lot of views! Who would have thought this would be such a popular hit. 1 billion is no joke!
