This new strategy clamps together ads on the same video, allowing YouTube to maximize the chance of viewers watching the video. The ad placement is determined by a variety of factors including watch history, search terms, and skippable ads. Advertisers may be happy with this new strategy if their ads are more relevant to the video or are skippable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TrueView_ads\"><\/span>TrueView ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few different ways you can get your brand in front of your audience on YouTube. You can use pre-roll ads, which are not skippable and show up in the middle of a 10 minute video. These ads are typically 15 to 20 seconds long, so they are perfect for optimizing viewer attention. You can also use bumpers, which are six-second videos that play before a user&#8217;s choice of video. These ads are short enough to keep viewers&#8217; attention and give you the opportunity to use call-to-actions.<\/p>\n<p>TrueView in-stream ads play just like television commercials. They play right before YouTube Partner videos or at regular intervals during the video. Unlike traditional advertising formats, TrueView in-stream ads let viewers skip the first 5 seconds of the video, so you only pay when they watch the entire video for 30 seconds. The ads also allow you to customize the message and offer different types of content to viewers. TrueView ads on YouTube have a number of benefits, and you can find out how they can work for your brand and your audience.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overlay_ads\"><\/span>Overlay ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Overlay ads on YouTube are a great way to increase your click-through rate. They appear over the video and take up approximately 20% of the screen, but don&#8217;t obstruct the video. They contain both text and images, and users can turn them off at any time. Overlay ads allow brands to showcase their products, services, or websites while a viewer watches their video. As long as the ad contains a strong call-to-action, it will increase click-throughs.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube is testing new ad formats to increase their revenue, and overlay ads are one of them. Overlay ads are semi-transparent banners that take up the bottom portion of the video screen. Unlike most video ads, overlay ads are only visible on desktop computers, but viewers can still see them when they hover over the ad&#8217;s &#8220;X&#8221; icon. The specs of these ads are 468&#215;60 pixels or 728&#215;90 pixels. They&#8217;re perfect for deep-dives into products and services.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In-stream_video_ads\"><\/span>In-stream video ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In-stream video ads on YouTube are usually pre-roll advertisements. Users can skip them after five seconds. The creator is charged only if the audience watches the entire video or at least 30 seconds. In-display ads are used to promote the video through websites and display ads. They appear on the right side of the video. YouTube charges for these videos, but the creator is not charged until the audience watches them all the way through.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key challenges in using in-stream video ads on YouTube is targeting. If the CPA is low, you may only see a few conversions or overspending for each action. However, if the CPA is high, in-stream video ads on YouTube will help you meet your conversion goals. These ads will prompt viewers to take action and drive conversions throughout the customer journey. And because they are so short, it will take some time to see the results.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_new_rules_on_video_monetization\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s new rules on video monetization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s new rules on video monetizing create a number of changes to their terms. Among other changes, the company prohibits collecting identifying information about users without their consent and explicitly calls out the use of facial recognition software. Both of these changes are positive for users and advertisers. While they could make YouTube less appealing to smaller channels, the overall impact will be positive. Here&#8217;s a look at how YouTube&#8217;s new rules impact independent creators.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major changes to the terms of service is the requirement that you reach a certain number of subscribers and total views. In order to be eligible for the YouTube partnership program, you must have a total of at least 10,000 lifetime views and 1,000 subscribers. Previously, you would need to have a higher number of subscribers to be able to apply. But that was before YouTube&#8217;s new rules. Smaller YouTubers will likely be affected by this change.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N-JPIyVUUtY\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"398\" height=\"222\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Does YouTube Have 2 Ads Now?
