YouTube To Add Pre- and Post-Roll Videos

YouTube’s head of advertising, Suzie Rieder, announced last week at AdTech that they will be adding advertising to videos on YouTube. The ads will be of the pre-roll and post-roll variety, that is ads that play before or after a clip.
“We’re looking at executions like a very quick little intro preceding a video, then the video, then a commercial execution on the backside of the content,” Ms. Reider said.

They didn’t say if these ads would be for major companies who put content on the site, like CBS, or for user-generated content to generate some revenue. This is going to be a tricky thing for Google, which doesn’t want to unbalance the “community” building at YouTube, but needs to make some money to justify the giant purchase price.
They need to look at it this way: If I watch an hour of TV, commercials come up about six times […]

Shocker: People Stopped Using Google Checkout After Google Stopped Paying Them To

Seeking Alpha shows off this Compete.com chart showing how Google Checkout usage has fallen dramatically since December:

What happened after December? Well, Google stopped giving almost every Google Checkout user twenty dollars just for shopping. Like I said before, if you have to pay users to use your service, then it doesn’t deserve to succeed, and shoppers are agreeing. I don’t understand why Google Checkout needs to exist on websites like Buy.com, that have no problem processing credit card orders normally, and Google needs to find an excuse for their system. At least PayPal has a bank account.

Ask Getting Into Contextual Ads

Ask.com is planning on launching a contextual advertising program (in the AdSense mold) late next month. Initially, the service will only run on IAC-owned websites (of which there are a ton), but it will be opened to independent publishers most likely in the fall, according to Barry, who also says:
The publishers will have two unique features that are not currently available in the Google AdSense and Yahoo Publisher Network. Publishers will be able to set “page yield thresholds” and set “relevancy thresholds.” There will be levers to allow publisher to determine if they want higher paying ads or if they want more relevant ads with these levers. In addition, the ads will be unique from that of Google and Yahoo ads. Ask told me that they will allow “very customized” interfaces for the contextual ads; such as customized backgrounds and graphics.

Expect to see it the week of May 21. […]

Randy Sells R|Mail To NBC

Randy Morin announced last week that he sold his R|Mail service to NBC. R|Mail, a two year-old service which sends RSS updates via email (and features InsideMicrosoft as its 14th most popular feed) and has over 50,000 users, obviously caught the fancy of NBC Universal, and that means another blogger is getting a great payday. Congratulations, Randy! Lets hope R|Mail’s new home respects it and puts some money into growing it.
Good work, Jason, getting what appears to be the exclusive interview revealing the sale.
Interestingly, two months ago, Randy ran an expirement aggregating all NBC RSS feeds as an OPML file, and recommending them in Rmail emails. Crazy speculation time, but maybe NBC saw some real good returns from that experiment, and saw an opportunity to gain new readers. If Rmail users are good marketing other feeds to as recommended feeds, NBC’s got a great base […]

Using Abrite For PPC Arbitrage?

Has anyone had success in driving traffic from Adbrite to a adsense arbitrage page? I’ve read about this method in Adwords180 but can’t seem to grasp how this would work with how they describe it in the book?
I haven’t found many sites I can use that have targeted ppc ads showing in the correct placement, and show up on the first page of google to get any decent traffic.
