I wonder why youtube and facebook got so rich? - Johnny D - 02-19-2014 12:23 PM
I don't understand how it works. Eg: Facebook and youtube are websites that are free and i don't see much advertisement on their site but why can they earn up to billions of buckaroos?

They dont MAKE billions of dollars, they are WORTH billions of dollars

Facebook is not yet making a profit.
YouTube was not making money either in the beginning, they made their money by selling the whole company to Google for $1.6 Billion.

They got their revenues from ads, dont underestimate the ad strategy, almost every link in youtube is tied to a mechanism running at the backend that suggest their popularity and like wise generating income for them.
*Ads doesn't have to visible to the naked eye to know its there.
