So you are estimating 100% click through rate on those pre video commercials? They are not even shown every time.

staunch's estimates were using CPM, not CPC, so click throughs are irrelevant (CPM - cost per 1,000 impressions displayed).

That said, $2-3 CPM sounds high to me. But I don't know anything about the YouTube ad market.

I know about the YouTube ad market and $2-$3 is reasonable, especially for gamers who get higher CPM thanks to very targeted advertising.

Ah yea, missed the CPM part there. That's a ridiculous amount of money then. Husky and HD have 10+ videos a week with 150-200K views.
