    Hey there,

    Why are they they retiring video ad units?

    Are they replacing it with something better?

    Does anybody have more information on this?

    Sincerely,

    I had them on my car blog very briefly but never made anything from them. I also found them a bit overpowering an imposing on the page

    Yes, people don't have time to watch video units meant for ads. Most people scan on the web and text ads make perfect sense. You need to grab their attention and direct to a site.

    No one watch movies on any site, as you should think about yourself when you go to any site and you see there thumbnails of movies, if you see movies then use ad movies too other wise leave it

    Hey there,

    Is there a different between video ads units and adsense for video?

    Can somebody provide a link to see exactly what these are?

    I am the owner of an environmental website. I have plans to create a video section that will host environmental videos on various topics. I think if I target the right traffic, users will watch videos on my site, as opposed to youtube.

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters
