The first YouTube video to break 100 million is Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend video, which after watching it online seems a bit insane.  Where you one of the 100 million to watch Avril Lavigne Girlfriend online?  That’s 1/3 of the United States, and consider if friends were in the room, and people who watched Avril Lavigne Girlfriend offline and ahh maddening.

So why is 100 million views a big deal? That’s a 2 million dollar paycheck for Avril Lavigne, just for a video being viewed on YouTube. Who could have imagined?

So where can I watch this Avril Lavigne video and contribute to many million more page views?

We couldn’t embed the YouTube version because the partner videos often on YouTube aren’t embeddable, so we turn to a secondary source like Veoh to get the video. What it goes to show you is, even music stars can make money just from being on YouTube, because YouTube can’t hold all the profits, especially for content it doesn’t exclusively own.
