		<description><![CDATA[Frank Huber recently tackled my post about Monetization in his Blog
http://blog.firstmedia.de/?p=763  (in German)
and contradicted my views of the subject based on 2 reasons: in his opinion, YouTube has shown that “size does matter” and sevenload hasn&#8217;t followed my recommended strategy at all. Here&#8217;s my reply to his post:

 http://blog.firstmedia.de/?p=763
