I’ve noticed a growing trend that I’m not so sure is a good one. I was looking up this really hot topic that I was sure to improve my skills. I was pretty jazzed that I had found this certain video. I have been looking to start a video section here at Bloggers Market. I already have one, but it is the weakest area of my Blog and it should be the strongest. So I was looking for videos to add to my site and this one was just what I was looking for ……. or so I thought.
The video was actually pretty good, not exactly what I was looking for though. However, when I arrived at the video site, I had my anticipation dampened considerably. The video had an ad by Google attached to it ……….. 3 minutes and 18 seconds worth! Please!!!…………..
While I’m not a big fan of ads by Google or Adsense as it’s known, it’s Adwords that has me in a twist. I’m not going to go there ………… Google ads lay to the side of anyone’s website and if you see an ad that is of interest, you can click on it. Google ads for video, you have to watch. You have no choice, if you want to view the video underneath.
I did watch the video ad, which was really pretty good. It was a Google ad that described how the video program was tailor-made for websites. Really the same old salesman Schick. But 3 minutes and 18 seconds worth!
I’m not so sure if this is the perfect way to monetize one’s Blog or not. I know that I avoid clicking on any story from a news agency or any other video that has ads attached to it. For 50 minutes of television you only have to watch about 10 minutes of advertisements. With the above video in question it was like 50% ad; 50% Blogging Ideas.
I’m just not so sure! Would you consider using video ads on top or your videos?
