YouTube Allows Ads on Network Partners

SV Staff  |  Jan 22, 2009

In what could be viewed as a direct attack on Hulu, YouTube is going to allow advertisements on its major partners YouTube channels. It's already been doing this with some partners, such as CBS. If YouTube's copyright detection determines something is also a CBS or other partner's program, it will insert their ads there too. Quite fascinating.

The revenue from these ads will be split with the partners, regardless of who actually sells the ads.

Will advertisements turn you away from watching a TV show on YouTube? Or, is that a small price to pay for a free service?  -- Leslie Shapiro

To effectively use full-page ads, timing and placement are key. Display them between page transitions or after certain actions, so they don’t annoy users. The faster they load, the more seamless the experience feels. Partner with networks like PropellerAds or Adsterra that specialize in this format.
