Google AdSense For Video Hits Beta
Doug Caverly | Staff Writer

Big publishers (and Bob Vila) take note

This time, Google's beta tag means something - to become a user,
publishers will need to have English-language, U.S.-based sites,
and serve at least one million video streams per month. But, beta
tag or not, AdSense for video has officially arrived.

Google has promised that it will expand the program "in the near
future." Meanwhile, sites like BobVila.com, MyDamnChannel, and
blip.tv are getting to experience a sort of test drive. And for
a description of what they're seeing (we're assuming you don't
want to chase down and sit through random videos), we can turn
to the Official Google Blog.

Shamim Samadi and Ryan Hayward write, "This approach takes the
same non-intrusive InVideo ad format used on YouTube and extends
it across video partner sites on the Google Content Network. This
enables advertisers to run a single campaign across the largest
network of online video content."

Also, in the event that you want to watch a carefully selected
clip, something on the Inside AdSense blog provides more
information about Google, video content, and revenue.

All of this points back to what we covered in the opening: if
you're not close buds with Google, AdSense for video is still a
little out of reach. There's no reason you can't scope it out,
though, and be ready to accept (or reject) the program as it
approaches a wider release.

So far, the response from Publishers has been mixed, which isn't actually surprising... It'd be interesting to see how it actually works out.

I had to remove it from my site, as the video didn't load some of the time and caused the rest of the page to load slowly. I'll give it another shot soon in case it was just a temporary glitch.
