Google put out a notice that they wanted more 300x250 video ad spaces (above the fold) So I figured I would try. They have not displayed any video ads yet but 300x250 picture ads. The weird thing though is it pays nothing - 5 cents a click. IT is getting a lot more clicks then my side tower test ads but they pay 20 or 40 times more I was wondering if anyone is displaying them and have the same results? And if any one has video ads are you getting paid more or less? I sure as heck will not keep and huge picture ad that pays almost nothing when it should pay maybe $3 for the space it uses. -- anyway just wondering as I did a forum search for video ad and found no topic I have no placed a couple of 300x200 picture ads with adwords to see what they charge me as if I only have to pay such a tiny amount it would be great but I think something is not right.
Because their video inventory is still limited at this point, there is no way to only get video ads. As long as you have image ads enabled for the four video formats, you will be able to display any video ads that are contextually relevant or site targeted.
Thanks -- was not asking about how to get only video ads was just wondering if they paid as badly as the 250x300 image ads. I decided to remove the test add as it was paying about 5 cents - a joke. But I did set up a few that size myself to try on adwords so see how much they charge me and so far they are 60 cents while the small text ads are 40 cents.
i don't think you will get much video ads every time as there are not a lot of advertisers who put their video ads.. check adsense blog for enabling and disabling them, Here i don't think they provide you much $$ as textual ads do.
I really hope 2007 is the year of the video ads. I think it's a great concept, and they provide a lot more to the user than basic contextual text ads.
I prefer text ads to video ads. I have seen video ads, but I think they need to be seen in full before the publisher gets credited, or something along those lines.
I have video ads displayed on my site. And i noticed that.. you dont get much per click. But just for people looking at them you get paid..still not much. i have gotten around 5 cents.. for 0 clicks while having these video ads.
