We'd like to let you know about two recent improvements to video units
that make them more easy and appealing to place on your sites. First,
we've partnered with some new content providers that we'd like to
highlight. These partners have signed on to let AdSense publishers
embed their videos and share in the ad revenue.
- Broadbandtv: "Broadbandtv is partnering with YouTube to bring the
very best video program lineup to a growing and engaged online
audience. Broadbandtv shows include hits from Fashion, Celebrity News,
Sports, Technology, Comedy and Travel to top notch Spanish-language TV
series like Somos Tu y Yo."
- Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: "CBC/Radio-Canada is Canada's
national public broadcaster and one of its largest cultural
institutions. CBC/Radio-Canada is available how, where, and when
Canadians want it."
- The Orchard: "A global leader in digital music, video, new media and
brand services, The Orchard offers family content like Gumby, Mr. Bill,
My Favorite Martian, and other categories of content like music and
comedy."To give you a better idea of the videos that are available for
syndication to your site, we've also created a gallery of some featured
video units content partners. Note that to choose any of these content
providers for your video unit, you should get their YouTube username by
visiting their YouTube channel, and then put this username into
the "Channel" field when choosing content for your unit.Second, we're
happy to announce that video units now support 728x90 and 160x600
formats to more easily fit into your site. These two new formats will
feature five video thumbnails - when a user clicks on one of the
thumbnails, a full sized video unit will appear, along with
accompanying ads:728x90 video unit728x90 video unit, expanded160x600
video unit, expandedYou'll generate earnings for valid clicks or
impressions on the ads which appear. To use the new formats, you'll
need to create new video units by visiting your AdSense Setup tab. To
choose the new content for your video units, you can edit any of your
players or set up new video units dedicated to this new content. Please
keep in mind that video units are currently only supported for English
or Japanese-language accounts in the following regions:Australia,
Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand,
Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, United StatesFinally, if you haven't
edited or made a new video unit recently, you may not have noticed that
you can now preview the kinds of video that will show up in the unit,
based on the filtering choices you've made. We heard that you wanted
more insight into the types of content that would display, and we think
this will help.While you can use video units like any other ad, they're
also a great addition to the content of your page. So we encourage you
to use video units as you may have used embedded YouTube videos in the
past - to add variety and interest for your users.Thanks for all the
feedback that's helping us to make video units more useful to you. If
you have more thoughts to share, please leave us a comment.Posted by
