Google Introduces youtube Ads

August 23rd, 2007 Noor Posted in Google |


Google is implementing a new video advertising system that would make money out of watching videos on youtube, the ad appears overlays the bottom of the video after 15 sec from its start and lasts for around 10 sec.

The user can ignore the ads by closing it or he clicks the ad and takes the user to a larger view.

As a reaction to this, a firefox plugin was released to stop youtube ads from being displayed, the plugin can be found here TubeStop

youtube video looks like this:
