Estimate: 20% of Web Videos Are Spam

According to VideoSurf CTO Eitan Sharon, there are 500 million videos on the web today, (VideoSurf has only indexed 25 million of them so far though it recently stepped up efforts by doubling the size of its server farm).

With so many more videos yet to be analyzed, it could be that much more or much less than 20 percent of all videos are spam. But it’s pretty daunting to think of so many irrelevant spammy videos out there, especially considering the costs involved with hosting and delivering them.
