For those of you that have been long time readers of my blog you may remember a post I wrote about the YouTube partner program after it first launched. I sent in my application so long ago I almost forgot I had applied.
Now after nearly three months I’ve finally heard back from YouTube about my application being denied. With the size of Google/You Tube I don’t think I can weazel my way into this publisher program like I’ve done in the past so many times. However, I thought I might slip into the program by barely meeting the requirements. But I really don’t have time to maintain a steady stream of halo videos that the program requires.
I plan to apply again using the profile I set up for one of my forums that receives user submitted game videos on a regular basis, but for now I believe the profile is still too small (see it here). However, I still believe video is a great way to help bring in new visitors to your website though as most of the people on YouTube will have never been to your website before anyway.
Seeing the email from the YouTube partner program reminds me of the Adsense Video Beta. I’m also really interested to see how people are doing with that program, as I am going to need way more video views to make it into that program.
Has anyone here made it into the YouTube partner program or as an Adsense Video Beta participant? If so, how have the programs performed?

This is something i would like to know more about myself as it seems as a pssible way to get more visitors to a website. haven’t yet got into it thogh but will stay updated on this one.
Hello. I would like to talk with you about the advertisement at your Blog. Could you please contact me via email.
Waiting for your email.
Thank you
I assume it is quite a mission to get accepted. They only accepted around 100 people so far.
I didn’t know they had a program…
That’s why I need to read your blog Chris!

I second that, even I did not know YouTube had any partner program. I think we are busy watching the videos so much on YouTube that we don’t even look at any “partner” link at the bottom of the page
We did make it into both programs, but it is not much $. We didn’t really set out for that motive anyway, but wanted to share. Oh and we post travel videos, so I think that is probably why we made it in, less competition?
Best
