Spiderbait - SEO Expert: Advertising Updates for Blogger and YouTube

Blogger and YouTube users take note of the updates both services have released!

Youtube InVideo Ads

As of August 21st Youtube has started offering their "select partners" the ability to integrate InVideo ads onto their content. Although the ads are an awesome opportunity for people to generate revenue with their videos, current Youtube users have mixed feelings as to whether or not they embrace this service. Seems pretty cool in my opinion, ability to generate revenue with a small non-intrusive ad!

YouTube InVideo Ads:

Ads appear at the bottom of videos
Ads start after 15 seconds of content and last for about 10 seconds
Ad space is limited 20% of your video screen
Users can easily close it out if they wish not to view it
Ads can be targeted geographically
Replaying the videos will not reply the advertising.

Ads are currently available to professionally produced videos and a "selected" few 'homemade' videos. There is buzz going around for plans to open this option to more "user-generated videos" , we shall see!
