Youtube becomes a cash cow for Google

Google semi recently bought You Tube and has been spending the entire time trying to figure out how to make money off of the website. Unfortunately a website with that kind of traffic that streams video is going to use millions of terabytes of bandwidth and thus is going to cost a damn fortune.

More recently, Google has started adding video to its search results allowing people to use video to usurp other competitors with clever, most often watched videos. A fantastic example of a company doing this is Blendtec. If you haven't seen a Blendtec blender commercial, youre in for a treat. Hockey sticks, marbles, cell phones, magnets... nothing is a match for this 220v powered blender that needs to be bolted to a counter to keep it from literally flying away.

Google apparently saw the Blendtec videos too, because now you can promote videos on YouTube's main page and *for a nominal fee* your video can be put on the main page in a pay per click fashion. Effectively turning YouTube into a pay per click driven advertising source - similar to television. Its a brilliant idea that allows a much more effective conveyance of ideas and product than 25 characters across the top of a SERP. Kudos Google and Youtube on being brilliant, yet again.

Here's a copy of Happy's press release.


Happy Pest Control Website Release

San Diego, California (PRWEB) February 22, 2008 -- Happy Pest Control of San Diego launched their new website last week in an effort to better arm home owners and business owners with information as to what pests they may be dealing with. "Happy's old website, while functional in the traditional sense, was not up to par with the needed amount of information today's user demands. We want to provide positive solutions in pest control service and well as inform people of how their pests think," said Happy Pest Control branch manager Micah Coy.

Upon exploration of the San Diego-based pest control company's website, the user will find several pages dedicated to every type of pest that could inhabit a home. Informational pages for users outside of the San Diego area are available as well, including a series of questions to ask a pest control company, a page about integrated pest management or "IPM" and even a page with entertaining pest control-related videos and pictures.

The author learned that the ants seen commonly in his own kitchen are actually Argentine Ants, which were brought over from South America and now have overrun almost every native ant species in the United States. The website went on to further explain how Happy takes care of ant infestations using low toxicity pesticides to ensure peace of mind.

"99 percent of all cockroach infestations we service are German cockroaches. Which are the hardest pest to control, hands down. We have a three pronged approach which uses gel bait, growth regulator and pesticide." -- Micah Coy

The three-pronged approach Mr. Coy speaks of is a gel bait containing fipronil. Today's gel baits are specially scented to entice the cockroaches. Growth regulator is a chemical agent that disrupts the roaches hormones leaving pest unable to breed as well as "molt." In effect a cockroach sheds its skin like a snake in order to grow.

Rodent control has changed much since its genesis. Up until the 1940s, arsenic, cyanide and other very lethal toxins were used in rat poison. However, in 1948, the sweet clover plant was synthetically reproduced to produce a very effective anticoagulant similar to today's rat bait of choice: Bromodiolone. "When ingested the rat's vitamin K1 reductase is blocked, a necessary factor in blood clotting. This process turns the rat into a hemophiliac. As the final stages of the rodenticide take effect, the rat becomes extremely thirsty, typically seeking sources of water outside that are normally available to it." -- Happy Pest Control website
