If you embed a youtube video on a webpage & that page gets 50 hits a day. Does that video register those hits as views? Even if not played?

Nope that need to be played to register the hit try to add video in social networking websites like orkut,facebook etc. For more hits.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
