So if you are lucky enough to get 45 million views after a safari in Africa you might make 45,000,000 X .0001 X.15 = $675 ? This does not seem to cover much in the way of expenses. The entertainment blogger Michael Buckley http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/11/business/media/11youtube.html doubled his earnings from 10 to 20 thousand dollars a month by including sponsorships and and product placements. Perhaps if the Kruger videographer had included a caption with his camera’s model number on it he could have made $1350.

Finally. I think this is a really good move for GooTube.

"Videos that are detected as accumulating a large number of views quickly will be added, with their creator’s permission, to a limited form of the YouTube partner program, which was previously only available to creators with an established body of popular content."

I'm assuming that this is the same deal as the Partner Program: CPM and CPC rates are set on a case by case basis. But, I think both parties will be losing $ if they are negotiating while the video is going viral.

Either way, I don't think publishers are going to retire through the YouTube Partner Program. I believe most partners are on a $0.15 CPC plan with a 0.01% click through rate.
