Video Units?

Has anyone got these yet?
Inside AdSense: Video units coming to the UK, Ireland and Canada

no, not yet. These are pretty ugly IMHO I doubt the would fit well in any of my sites.

Could be quite cool if you get something like Movie Trailers \ New DVD Releases \ Hardware .. that you could put on Movie / Film Forums and Chat

From what I've read that should be possible, though they weren't live on my account last time I checked (last night)

I guess with video units though we're assuming that dialup is dead ?

Anyone actually have any stats on dialup usage ?

Just checking one of my popular sites (yes I have one) ... and its showing 2% dialup ... over 50% unknown ... (these stats are with google analytics)

Hehe

Anyone actually have any stats on dialup usage ?

Overall - no
For my sites - yes

I put up a test one to see what it was like:
Youtube Video Test

The problem I see is that it's a bit limited in terms of what kind of videos you could end up with ie. I don't see how you could get movie trailers in there easily

I got my first 2 clicks on Video Unit ads, only in the low $0.XX range.

Out of how many impressions though ?

 

[paul]

I don't think they are CPM, the ads had about 160 impressions so far. Not really enough to make a proper judgement, but for content low pages it's an interesting addition, that makes the pages more attractive IMHO.

 

[Forbairt]

from my own experience I've found I click video adverts a bit more than normal adverts

Let us know in a week how its working out for ya

 

[paul]

These are not the video units, as in the animated ones. Rather these are the ones that are integrated with youtube. i.e. http://www.skiing.ie/links/detail/link-19.html

 

[Forbairt]

Ah fair enough thought it was the other ones hadn't realised you tube had started that

 

[mneylon]

It's a pity there aren't more sizes available
