Do you see video ads in your future?
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
Terri Wild from
thecarconnection.com
was one of the first publishers to beta test
click-to-play video ads
on her site.
When Wild participated in the beta test, video ads were only supported for the
300x250 Medium Rectangle ad format
, so she had to switch to Medium Rectangles from the Squares she'd previously been displaying on her site. (Video ads are now supported by
Large Rectangles and Squares
as well).
When video ads began to appear on her site, Wild had a positive first impression.
"The quality of the video was good," explained Wild. "It was unobtrusive and complemented the site well. It was the only video content we offered so it was not lost amongst clutter. I knew since it was coming from Google it would be the highest quality visually and technically."
Not only did Wild see a revenue gain from the click-to-play video campaign itself, but
switching to the larger Medium Rectangle
format resulted in an additional jump in clickthrough rate and a 42% increase in eCPM.
"The AdSense team's research is excellent and they understand how to integrate ads without intruding on the user's experience," said Wild. "All of their recommendations regarding
ad size
and
placement
have resulted in significant increases. In fact, our revenues are six times higher than they were a year ago when we had limited Google text ads!"
Wild says she would be excited about showing more click-to-play video ads in the future.
