I agree with Warren, in coming months we can expect Facebook to announce monetizing these high resolution videos. The war has just started... Are you listening, YouTube?

jjray7 Facebook is becoming monster force on the web. The drive to monetize, in my mind, is not critical at this point. Facebook has tremendous value based on user traffic and loyalty. They've passed myspace closing a sizable gap in less than 2 years.

Google should just open up the treasury and pay these facebook people whatever they want for the remaining shares of this company. The price will only go up as they get bigger.

Shazwi from what i know facebook is already having troubles monetizing the site... even Google has problems with monetizing Orkut... u gotta know the main reason facebookers are there for... mainly socialize... To think that Youtube is not making enough money with Ads everywhere, in videos, some spaces and sponsored vids, it will take Facebook a hell lot of effort...

I just know that Facebook Connect will do some good now, other than that, their changes, like the layout, chat and this video thing, won't do much good... just to keep up with everyone around them...

The appearance of ads may look more or less the same as 'Adsense for Content' ads, but the tighter integration of these ads within the game will certainly make it interesting.

If embedded right in the game, the CTR is likely to be more than those ads stuffed in sides. It will be interesting to see how an average gamer may react, when he will face an ad right in the middle of the screen before hoping on to the next level of the game.

Keyword research is what most people do not do. It definitely do wonders, if we devote some serious time in keyword research.

Sometimes, our schedules are so hectic (searching net for post idea, SEO, social media marketing), that we forget the very basic stuff.

Very useful video for novice as well as experienced site owners and bloggers.
