Video Advertising

[Nick11380]

Hi all,

I'm looking to monetise through short ads at the start of any video content embedded on my website but I'm not sure where to look. For example, something similar to what Space.com uses - http://www.space.com/16622-inflatable-heat-shield-set-for-test-flight-video.html

Apologies for posting this in the contextual advertising forum, I couldn't see a better place to put it!

They're generally called "pre roll" ads. Perhaps this will help?

Depending on what or how your delivering the videos have a look at this for more control over what is shown as an advert.

Specifically what I would be looking for is something similar to what YouTube has where you can skip after 5 seconds. My site is new and forcing 20 second ads would be a great way to kill my returning traffic.

The time scale can be set by you or the video - so 5 seconds 6 seconds etc and I'm quite sure their is a SKIP option variable you can inforce.
