YouTube Promoted Videos Hit 1 Billion Views

This week YouTube Promoted Videos have hit a huge milestone—they have now reached one billion views globally.

Back in November of 2008, YouTube’s Promoted Videos concept was born.  Creators could pay to have their videos highlighted at the top of YouTube search results pages and in suggested videos for maximized visibility and viewership.  This week YouTube Promoted Videos have hit a huge milestone—they have now reached one billion views globally.

One billion is a huge number, but one that YouTube has made its friend.  The site streams over three billion videos each and every day and they are racking up 3 billion ad views per week, thanks to their Partner Program.
