Google AdWords/AdSense is offering in video ads. Text and image ads show in the video player or on the bottom 20% of the video.
We’re all familiar with this concept. Watch the USA channel and you see “Monk” straightening the logo as “House” is explaining why everyone else is an idiot. BMW’s Logo flashes across the bottom of the movie your husband saw in the guide before you could scroll down; And unless the Ad is right on top of the subtitles of “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” we don’t even notice.
It’s still in beta so the option is not available to everyone. You have to have a managed account in order to advertise, and you have to be invited into the AdSense program. But to those lucky few that meet the requirements it looks interesting. A way to increase your branding power in the ever increasing land of video on the web.
