    How are the video ads performing?
    I just noticed today that I get a few of those on one of my sites. Do you get those?

    Even though I have image ads enabled I still don't see the video ads in my setup. What gives?

    Yeah I know it's the square ads but I don't see "video ads" when I'm setting up an ad. I see everything else though.

    i thought they only payed if users click through to the advertisers site. So they first watch the video and then need to click the url.
    And you just need to set it like image ads, there isnt a separate option for video ads i think.

    I think they are in the image ads group.
    I just noticed the video ads today and my ecpm raised today so I really hope this is connected :)
    considering that I found the video ads on an images page and they blend so nicely even without any action from me :)

    These may bring in more money per click, but I don't think there will be so many clicks on them as to what you will get with the text and image ads. I could be wrong though.

    considering that the video ad shows on an images page where you can click on the images IMHO this will bring more clicks

    It may or it may not. I would have thought it wouldn't as people may watch the video and then decide weather it is worth clicking or not. If just an image then they may not have enough information about what the site could be about and then may click it out of curiosity or something.

    Plus with Video ads, I guess when people browse they try and do it fast so that they can get things done quicker. I for one don't have time to sit back and watch video ads.

    well as far as I observer from the stats increase of the clicks with 30% and total $ received with about 100 does make some difference.
    I will continue to monitor it to see if it's only a one time thing

    I had it enabled for some time but there didn't seem to be any ads available for my topic.
