Is it just me or are Video Ads Popping up?

I've been on a couple of SEO Sites and I've noticed video advertisements starting to pop-up on a daily basis. I even had the time to catch one on Wink.

Right now I just saw another one on Google Blogoscoped.

Is anyone else getting this?

 

They've been doing that for quite some time. I'm not sure exactly which ads do it, but they must be:

1.) Square
2.) Set to picture and text, if you have picture unchecked when you make it, you'll never see a video.


It's a random thing, but it must have two of the above things.

 

oh, I must not have been noticing them for a while, thanks

 

Square and Rectangles do that if you select img ads. Anyone has an idea on how the pay is on those?

 

Not noticed any

 

I've noticed them on SEO related sites, I took that Wink Flash at the LivePR Tool that everyone uses nowadays

 

If you want to encourage advertisers to place video ads on your site, Google recommends that you use the 300 by 250 rectangle size and that you place it prominently above the fold on your site....

 

Where does it say that?

 

See Use the 300 by 250 Ad Unit: How to Make Your AdSense Sites Appealing to Advertisers.

 

use more square ads to more clicks and picture ads

 

You have to set it up in adsense - but they provide warning that they don't have many ads, so if they don't find any they will show community stuff
