Youtube Ads

Anyone have any experience with Youtube Ads?

Does it work the same way like Facebook ads - you pay for clicks?

Let's say you make original videos and you monetize it with ads. Ads can be stream-in, skip ads etc. through Youtube Partnership. In this article, the writer said when someone click on your ads and stay for at least 30 sec, you get paid. Is this accurate? My guts is telling me you simply can't earn by someone clicking your ads if there were no sales. How is that possible?

    YouTube ads are actually a version Google AdWords. In fact you use Google AdWords system to create them. They are a type of PPC ad.


    With traditional AdWords you also Have AdSense. So Advertisers pay to have there ads displayed and clicked. Publishers display the ads on their web sites and they get paid when someone clicks an ad (no sale made!). Google take a cut as the middle man of course.

    There are two main YouTube ad types, In-Stream and Video Discovery ads (used to be called in-display ads)

    Video Discovery are simply ads (videos) listed at the top of the video search results. When someone clicks on that ad to view the video the advertiser pays Google a fee for that click. In that sense they are very much like traditional AdWords ads.

    In-Steam are different. These are the ones you are referring to.


    These are videos that are placed immediately before a video that the viewer has selected. You can only skip the ad after 5 seconds when a skip ad button appears.


    Within the video will be a link or URL that the viewer can click. However these ads are only paid for if the viewer watches them for 30 seconds. If they click the 'ad link' or the 'skip ad' before 30 seconds no-one pays for, or gets paid for, the ad.


    So yes you can monetise your own channel and/or videos and allow In-Stream ads to display in them. If viewers watch those ads for 30 seconds you will get paid without selling anything.

    this YouTube advertising guide was very insightful, I recommend you read it:

    Is YouTube Advertising Really That Good? A YouTube Guide

    the author makes the claim that the full screen option is the best. One reason he makes this claim is because you get charged only if the viewer watches over 30 seconds.

    best of luck,

      But If your video can touch the visitor hardly then you can make profit.
      If your traffic costs are high (you don't say what you think high is though) then you probbaly have one of two problems


      1. The biggest issue. Your monetization is inadequate. In other words what you make per click is not enough. This is not a YouTube Ad issue. This is an issue with your monetisation system.
      2. You offer is not targeted enough.

      You can get views for 1-4 cents in pretty much any niche.
