Have you ever wondered if you can make money online by placing ads around video content? Afterall, since video is quite the rage nowadays, you'll be able to attract lots of visitors. And if you have a lot of web site traffic, then people will notice the ads near the videos, and you will earn advertising revenue.
That's quite an interesting scenario, and here are the results based on a 30-day experiment...
A video library of sorts was created using an automatic video site builder software.
You simply adjust a couple of templates, feed in a few keywords, and in just minutes you can have tens or hundreds of pages containing targeted videos.
So, do people notice the ads around the videos? Or do they just focus on the videos and ignore everything else?
Well, based on a 30-day test, it appears that consumers who watch videos do notice advertisements. They'll even take action on those ads more often than on ads placed around content presented in the form of text.
Here's an important warning, though: If your page contains mostly "borrowed videos" and hardly any of your own, unique content, the advertisers will not be pleased. And neither will the true owners of the videos.
But if your page contains a lot of YOUR own content, and if the videos are mostly your own, then your effort will be worth it (assuming you experience what we've experienced with Ian del Carmen's Fireball Video Site Generator).
So, if you're worried that people will just watch videos and ignore ads, then rest easy. Create content and produce consumer-oriented videos, and use an automated video site builder to rapidly build your site. Drive traffic to those video web pages, and reap the benefits of online advertising revenues.
