I definitely cannot agree more with this and with some of the comments that say people are lazy now and don’t want to read the story. Even though some people enjoy using their imagination when reading something, having it right in front of you and all set up in a nice video is better!

Look at this entertaining YouTube video that speaks about the power of online video

Why website video? What about plain old website copy? What about blogs?

Copy is still copy, and blogs are still blogs… and you will always have those people who prefer to learn and absorb by reading. (At iXod Conversion Marketing, we live by the “old” Content is King adage!)

However, let’s not forget about the vast majority of information-seekers who are just plain lazy. They don’t feel like reading, don’t feel like scrolling. What they really want is instant gratification for clicking on your web page.

Well I think the ads in the middle is a good idea; however, isn’t this a bad user experience if we are only watching like less than 3 minutes movie? we all know putting it at the end won’t make the ads as visible – people just stop the videos.

It’d be nice if there are some sort of options for users to know if the video contains ads or not from the beginning. Ads playing in the middle is better than the beginning. Just look at TV commercial – we watch movies then they cut it in the middle.

In addition, if there are some sort of standards in place e.g. how many ads are allowed to play, what kind of content, etc. – then, user experience will be better.

What do you think?

@Nancy – Good points all. Of course the folks selling the space are just thrilled to be taking the cash for the ads. As for how they convert? Well, I guess we’ll have to watch to see if advertisers stick with the medium (at least some proof that they are seeing success) or if there appears to be a ‘revolving door’ of advertisers which might indicate a lot of different brands testing the medium then getting out.

Would be nice if the content providers would provide a case study or two to show that there is more to this than just “Your ad here”

Nice piece, but just who is this working for? For the advertiser or the publisher? I don't see any mention of performance metrics here? Is it working in terms of engagement, conversion rates, brand favorability, ROI? I'd like to see a study including those metrics before I believe pre-roll or any other video-attached advertising works. .-= Nancy AKA @SEMChick´s last blog ..SEMChick: Hello Foursquare RT @google: Google Latitude lets u keep track of location history & get notified when friends r nearby http://bit.ly/4mDObn =-.

How about Videos Attached to Online Ads?

By: David Walker

Nothing beats face to face, and the human touch so videos will always come out on top, but attached ads? I don’t like them. It might not take nearly so long at 10-15 seconds, but it’s still long enough for me. I don’t make exceptions and my reaction to ads is pretty much the same, zero interest. Seems the ads are here to stay, or grow if the above news is anything to go by, so I will continue to suffer in silence
