[...] I am finally starting to get some solid traction with my blog. I have some very solid back links, which is causing my Google rank to rise. Many people believe that digg.com and the digg effect do not actually help a sites traffic. This is not true in my case, each time one of my stories such as The Windows XP Hack (2500+ diggs) or Youtube Loses Speed (500+ diggs) hit front page, my websites link was spread across the Internet. Although it gave me a huge surge of traffic that died back down after a few days, it increased my overall traffic. This obviously helped my Google traffic. [...]

Honestly, I believe, Google will not spend a lot of money just to stop the competitions. Should it be, that there is a huge traffic now? To YouTube? As I was visiting this site several times, but many times after the announcement of the deal in the newspapers.
For me, it is not just a no name company now… it is Google. And I know Google.

It shouldn't be happening, since Google are renowned for keeping their bandwidth on their toes, as you can see from their search engines. I believe it's the transition of ownership from YouTube itself to be part of Google, that leads to the deterioration of network speed. Hopefully Google don't just buy and chuck it aside.

[...] This is pretty funny right here. This is a screenshot from my Google Analytics account for this website. I took it a few hours after this article hit homepage on Digg. This wasn’t one of my highest dugg stories, but it still had a good amount of views. The graph below shows a day long view of 11/10/06 and obviously you can tell what happens when a story hits the front page. My website doesn’t have a huge following yet but hopefully with my stories hitting homepage, I will eventually gain one. Check the graph out, I think it’s pretty humorous. [...]

i think google choosed the right timing to buy youtube ..soon or later the traffic will flattern for youtube and google studied that ..they were watching youtube for a long time and were waiting for it to get the max ammount of traffic where it will be difficult to get more visitors .. this is a rule traffic just can t go up forever as everybody is using it now ..traffic will go up again if monkeys start using internet .. look at the google alexa graph ..same thing the traffic get a max when it s hard to continue up ..it needs to relax a little … sorry for my english as i m japanese …

I think people are loosing interest on YouTube.com because they know Google will enforce alot of restrictions on their videos

YouTube encourages it’s members to inflate viewhit numbers via automatic reloaders available on Firefox, so the numbers are unreliable at best, if not outright fraud.

One member I’ve noticed has over 1.2 million video’s watched and he’s only been subscribed to YouTube for 6 months.

Many, many members have over 100 thousand veiwhits in that time.

You do the math.

YouTube games their own game, and the media won’t confront them about it for whatever reason.

Way too short a period of time to call it a trend. Interesting coincidence though.

I guess it’s because when Google bought them, they become legal and/or mainstream, and lost some of its appeal.
