New AdBrite InVideo Ads

The question that begs to be asked here is: What about content ownership, if I was greedy enough I could go youtube d/l all the top videos and than reupload them, how could you prove ownership?

I see a whole can of worms popping up over this!!!

Oh, and another thing! You get paid on how many times its fully played or just push the play button once?

This is all so confusing dammit.

One of the things I have treasured is YouTube’s ability to show me video without any advertising. One of the reasons why I dumped C|Net videos along with MSNBC.com videos.

Personally, I would find ad-free “clips” on a blog more enticing to watch than having to watch an ad and then the actual video.

hmm maybe i should sign up for adbrite to

Can’t you make money from posting your vids on Revver?

This video is blocked by my ad blocker whereas youtube and google video don’t get blocked. That will affect views I expect.

I guess this seems like a good idea that Adbrite is testing out.

As with any new introduction there would be the kind of problems that Mubin mentions but I dont think its too difficult to overcome them.

Looks like a very interesting concept = )

by the way, are you ever on AIM or YM? I’d love to chat with you. My ID: teamsuccess4us

see ya

I think it’s Mr. PuD

I wonder what they will use to prevent “play back fraud”???

How do they figure out when/how to pay you?

Is it flash based?

Sometimes when I watch a good video I like to show it to people ALOT!

So lets say that the same video is played about 30 times from the same I.P., what happens than?

I think this may be possible in the near future but Im not sure I see this coming to fruit within the next year.

Theres some potential there, though I don’t think its all paid per view?

I like the fact that it doesn’t screw up the load time of the webpage like YouTube’s embedded player does from time to time.

Though I do like to see the video clip right away, but depending on how the ad pays and how long the ad is shown prior to the clip itself can it really be that bad?

Uhh…that was funny video. John, test this out for us!

I dont use adbrite. I wish Google Adsense used invideo ads.

Would this attract the biggies also - or it would just be the smaller amateurs who would be trying it out ?

I’ve been considering this service since i saw it posted on TechCrunch (I think that’s where I saw it). AWs, seems like a good idea given the fact that I like posting videos.

The ad did not seem all that intrusive at all. Plus, many (not all) videos on YouTube that are generated originally (by users) tend to sometimes have a link featured in the video (say in the credits). Not an actual clickable link, but just a credit w/a URL. In my opinion, since YouTube always lists other related videos at the end of a clip, the AdBrite idea makes sense.

People are more likely to click on something if it is seamlessly embedded. I like the concept and hope to see its development.

This actually seems very well executed, and I’d be interested in trying this out.. though it seems like so far they are hand-picking just a few publishers to get started.

If it turns out the the video ads are contextual will that mean no adsense and ads?

That could put a hamper on my plan to flood youtube with duplicate videos.

Interesting, but not really new though, Metacafe has its own free download/video player and pays for top videos. As far as I have seen, it has no ads and no custom logo watermark.

Blogcrowds, like you said, Metacafe pays for top video’s, this service seems to pay, no matter if you’ll be in the top x of their video’s - that might make them more successful I think - if they will be.

I like how the Share button here sends people to your website rather than that of the service. And also how you still get the revenue if your vid is embedded elsewhere.

I think its definitely a cool concept, not sure how it will play out with legalities and such. The share button is a great idea.

That looks awesome. But if people embed this video in their site would it void the terms of service that they have with lets say Adsense?

Those are great - how much and on what basis is the blogger paid

I just had to sign up for an AdBrite account so now I’ll just keep an eye out to see how their In Video goes.

John hope you’re going to get into it more at a later time to see if it’s good or not.

Yet another tool to throw in the toolbox for the right situation. It does look very promising though and will be interesting to see how this progresses.

Hi John
What plugin do you use for videos
thanks

I dont think there is a plugin for videos, he just embeds them.

How do you embed i cant get it to work any site with info would be great thanks again

I tried all that it does not work for me and it messes up the page. I am lost anyway thanks for your time.

Got it you have to turn off the visual rich editor under users then it works.
thanks again

I hit the active control by clicking on the space where the video should be, but it’s blank…All I see is the white background of your blog…no video. I’ll try Shoemoney’s site.
