Introducing video ads
Tuesday, May 23, 2006
Introducing the newest member of the AdSense ad family--click-to-play video ads. Video ads will compete in the same auction as text and image ads for placement on your site, and
as we've mentioned before
, increased competition in the ad auction means increased revenue potential for you. Video ads open your site up to a whole new type of advertising that is engaging and highly relevant for your users.
We know you're curious as to what these new video ads look like, so here's a sneak preview:
There are no guarantees that click-to-play video ads will appear on your site; however, to increase the chances make sure to:
1) Opt into
image ads
.
2) Use one of the three
ad formats
that support video ads:
300x250 Medium Rectangle
, 336x280 Large Rectangle, or 250x250 Square.
Also, keep in mind that there are a few things
advertisers look for
when targeting their ads to specific sites.
Got questions about video ads? We've got answers--check out the
Help Center
for more information.
