Re: [videoblogging] Anyone tried YouTube video ads?

2008-02-08 Thread Jay dedman
 We've got ads working on all of our YouTube videos.
  There are several components to this. Ads on the videos on YouTube
  site, ads on the YouTube videos off-site on embeds, and ad-sense
  share which allows you to have your content sent through the ad-sense
  pipes onto other peoples sites.
  Unfortunately, we are under NDA and cant talk about the prices, etc.
  (NDAs suck BTW).
  We have been slowly building an audience on YouTube but have only
  started to hit kind of a tipping point around the end of December and
  January. Now we are in the top 100 partners and directors almost
  every day for view counts - its been a very slow build and we still
  have a very long ways to go.
  Nevertheless, Im expecting that sometime this year, the $ we make
  from YouTube will be significant.

Thanks for this info.
Itll be interesting to see how Youtube manages their partnerships.
Since they have such distribution power, will they effectively start
laying out content guidelines?
I wonder if Youtube will start (or has already) hiring TV execs to
manage content and do promotion.

I ask because it's interesting to see in San Francisco, technologists
try to figure out content stuff...when the entertainment industry has
been doing it for years.

  Has anyone tried YouTube video ads?
  There seems to be 2 kinds...
  - http://www.youtube.com/advertise#videoads
  - http://www.youtube.com/advertise#invideoads
  Any one has any experience with these?
  What kind of targeting is available with these?
  What's the paying scheme? CPM? CPT? CPC? CPA? Something else?
  Is there a way to allow the user click on the video and send them to a
  page you define? (I.e., can you set up your own landing page?)

no one here has tried Youtube ads?
id love to know how they work out in terms of real dollars.
