What does 1Bn views equate to in real money if you have the normal amount of youtube advertising? I know this may vary depending on the audience but I'd love a ballpark if someone has any idea. I was under the impression 1m views = ~$3300 but I could be mistaken.

$1 CPM is what pretty much everyone can get, $3CPM and beyond are possible but generally reserved for people that are members of well managed Youtube networks. Gangnam style is probably a unique case in that it's a single video that advertisers will want to associate with, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's making $5 CPM ($5k/1m views) -- $5CPM average, probably peaking at 10 - 15.

  If I am not mistaken the 'M' in CPM stands for 1000 not 1m. the M is a roman numeral for 1000. That would also be more on par with what I am seeing other youtubers get (see AdamGibbins's link).

    You're correct, it stands for 'Cost per mille', and indicates the revenue received for a thousand views.

    I meant $1 per 1,000 views. My calculation of $5,000 for 1,000,000 views was meant as an extension of the calculations for those that wanted to work out the total.

  Psy only made $32,000 USD from domestic online sales of “Gangnam Style”? Make sure you read that article, those are Domestic (Korean) sales where prices are a lot lower. This is partly because songs in Korea are so much cheaper than other songs to download. At the cheapest, American songs are 791 KRW (approximately $0.71 USD), Canadian songs are 804 KRW (approximately $0.72 USD), and British songs are 1064 KRW (approximately $0.96 USD), but Korean songs on average are at 63 KRW (approximately $0.06 USD). and his other sales outside of domestic online sales combined are estimated to have reached 100 billion KRW (approximately $90 million USD).
