How Many Songs, Games Will You Buy From YouTube?

Just how many of these songs and games are you planning on buying though?

The idea behind this is pretty obvious when you think of it from the perspective of Google.

Google is  trying their best to make YouTube as profitable as possible, and has teamed up with Amazon.com as well as iTunes to try to make it happen.

These buttons are going to be located beneath videos to make it easy for users to purchase content from YouTube directly.

In exchange, Google is going to receive a cut of the profits brought in from the sales.

This is likely to attract many new content providers to YouTube, as it may serve as a way to truly sell some content.

YouTube has already teamed up with Universal Music Group, EMI, as well as Electronic Arts.

There is no news yet on how many more companies are going to sign on.

It will likely depend on how many people will get on YouTube and click-to-buy.
