If google can't monetize a tube site, with their almost infinite resources, who can? Tubes are nothing but fool's gold. Here is a quote from this article

"For a site that generates as much online traffic as YouTube, it would seem a no-brainer that profit is streaming in.
But according to a Credit Suisse analyst, the most popular video Web site ? owned by the richest Web site Google ? will lose $470 million this year because it sells advertising only on a fraction of its pages.
YouTube sells ads on less than 3 percent of the Web pages that could carry commercial messages, analyst Spencer Wang wrote Friday in a note to clients. To boost that percentage, Google needs to standardize ad formats and better demonstrate that ads on YouTube help sell products, he wrote."
