Interesting, looks like google is taking over the video market by combining adsense and youtube . YouTube is rolling out a new video unit with Google ads embedded into them. "Video Units Enhance your site with high quality, relevant video content from YouTube partners, and earn extra revenue along the way." Source : http://www.youtube.com/signup?next=/adsense_learn? Youtube ads are thrown on your site, you get paid. Cool? I think it will be.
Is it activated yet, or as everything else on Google, it's still in beta ? I already have an adsense account and don't want/need to open another one, yet I can't figure out how to use this.
And does anybody know how to do this? all i can see is a link to start a new adsense account. I also tried to make my own player and I dont see an adsense option.
thanks for the url, how did you find out about it? "Your accounts have been linked... Earn revenue from ads targeted to your site content and to the videos being played. Ads appear as part of the YouTube player and outside of the video content to ensure a smooth user experience." it doesn't sound like the standard adsense contextual ad blocks.
"Ready? Get Started! Visit the Video Units section at YouTube.com by clicking the button below and start creating your player today." it's a dead end... that link goes to an adsense sign-up page, and the faq they listed is not online: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=12182
I'm waiting for it, yes that's what google buying youtube was about, so please come faster... as for everyone having an adsense account, well it's been a long time already with blogger, google pages, etc. And if yahoo or msn weren't such dumb people, we would have more choice, now it's only adsense for PPC the best because the only serious one.
Haha no they never can do that btw the demo here http://www.45n5.com/permalink/first-look-google-adsense-in-video.html
can't use the link in the first post. it shows me a login/signup page for youtube although i'm already logged in.
