Marti is my hero.
As a recent recipient of GV traffic, I can reinforce the idea that increased traffic doesn’t mean increased “[whatever]”. (Money, subscribers, best buds, etc.) Traffic = traffic, the rest is gravy. Or hard work. Or luck. Or something. Not that I don’t appreciate the traffic. The trick is to set realistic expectations about what that traffic boost means in the greater scheme of things. Oh, and a good hosting plan helps too. Visit three times a day, if you wish. My host can handle it.

I think it has something to do with the fact that there is only one as seen on tv logo to steal and they got to it first.
Oh well for the rest of us. We will just have to wait in vain for another great logo to copy.

You forgot–
11. You don’t have a partnership with Seqoia Capital like Google Board member Michael Moritz. Seqoia Capital is not the sole investor in your business.
Or, as reported in The Register–
“Sequoia Capital, the sole investor in YouTube, has seen its $11.5m investment increase 140-fold. So not a bad day for Google Board member Michael Moritz, a partner at Seqoia Capital.”
