(It doesn’t place ads on videos unless their creators specifically allow it.) Now that <A href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2007/12/partner-program-expands.html">two-year-old</A> <A href="http://www.youtube.com/partners">YouTube Partner Program</A> is being expanded to individual videos that suddenly become very popular—that go viral, as they say—whether it’s the African safari animal faceoff in <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM">“Battle at Kruger”</A> (with 45 million views to date) or cutesy videos like <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epUk3T2Kfno">“Otters holding hands.”</A></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/techbeat/archives/2009/08/individual_vide.html">The move will open up YouTube monetization to tens of thousands of potential partners, up from thousands today, according to Tom Pickett, YouTube’s director of online sales and operations. It’s one more way Google hopes to make some money off its $1.6 billion purchase of YouTube, which hasn’t produced significant revenue as quickly as Google and its investors have hoped. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E020F6E4-081C-474B-8248-93BC4151128F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
