AdSense Video Units…

I just read an interesting post in Google’s AdSense blog. Google is introducing so-called video units. You can now place select utube videos on your site and get paid for doing so. I have already seen a view of these utube videos on the web. What I saw looks much like the usual TV commercial. I guess it will not only influence web site monetization, but the overall way the web is experienced (be it for good or bad…).

The new feature is a very interesting move. In fact, it resembles the traditional broadcast model, where the broadcaster is paid some money for distributing the ad. I wonder if that also means utube will share some of its income with the creators of quality video. I am asking this, because I assume ads will most probably be embedded into quality content, so that people actually watch the video.

I’ll see…
