Youtube-mp3.org has gone missing…

youtube-mp3.org save online video as mp3 audio-screenshot 2 actual mp3 download

Hey Hey. This must be kinda sad news for millions upon millions of people all over the Earth. youtube-mp3.org has gone missing, without any message, site is simply refusing to connect, as my browser declares.

Youtube-mp3.org has been what seems to be the top youtube to mp3 converter. Site was quite simple, although had lots of advertising on it. It has gone down somewhere in august, I presume.. below is current news Alexa graph, it is showing just a parabolic drop somewhere in late August, early September, as it seems.

Youtube converter sites are going down – It’s a trend

This is not the first site to go down or get taken over recently. Many old and proven sites have somehow malfunctioned or disappeared in last few months. For example, savevid.com has gone missing. Savedeo.com is not responding. flvto.biz was out for a few weeks. snipmp3.com is MIA.

And there’s Offliberty.com that is not working with youtube anymore… There’s keep-tube.com that was taken over by Savemedia. And many others are either suffering or going to. This seems a little fishy to me…

But takedown of youtube-mp3.org has been a part of major RIAA action against it, which after being for a year in court has been resolved in favor of RIAA.. Listentoyoutube has gone down as well..

Hence soaring popularity of random mp3 converter sites

Yes, finally I figured this out. Just recently reviewing my last 2 of 3 sites I have seen just unbelievable growth of traffic over the last month on those sites. Yes, I am kinda nerd this way, I always try to check Alexa ratings of all the sites I review. I know rating is bloated with lies, but it does have a merit to it. So youtube-mp3.org was top 300 sites until it disappeared..

That is why many other sites have grown communities and gained crazy traffic that ridiculously fast: people are searching for new sources to youtube to mp3 convertor. 300 top sites in the world means youtube-mp3 was getting a few hundred thousands daily visitors. And all of them need new home now…

And here I come with my take on …

    You might as well use a stable and powerful desktop YouTube to MP3 converter. And WonderFox HD Video Covnerter Factory is such a useful tool.

    I would like to suggest adding a Youdownloader.net page. In addition to the function to download videos from youtube, it can also convert mp3 from youtube video.
