Google Video Units going to the UK, Ireland and Canada

Posted by Rainer on November 23rd, 2007 at 11:46am

Google has announced in its adsense blog that Adsense Video Units are now being rolled out to the UK, Ireland and Canada. They also speak from good success in the US market (but what else should they say?;)).

The key reasoning behind this move is probably that Google likes to keep the Video Unit experiment limited to the English-language market and also a market that has at least some of the same cultural believes. From a marketing and testing point of view, that makes much sense to me.

What I would like to see, however, is that publishes (like me ;)) targeting these markets also get a chance to show video units - even though they may not reside in these countries. As I am from Germany, this probably does not happen. But a lot of my pages address exactly the clientèle  Google is looking into.

Well… let’s wait. At least my sites are prepared for the Video ad formats.
