Youtube Videos on Google Ads

Google surely knows how to succeed. For the first time shares break the $600 mark and increase by 17% in only one month.

A growing source of revenue are its various advertising channels. In a previous article “Google reveals advertising strategy for YouTube’ we revealed that Google has elaborated a new online marketing strategy where small half transparent adverts are incorporated in a selection of video clips on YouTube.

Google decided to expand its lucrative Adsense platform to video content by allowing advertisers to insert clips from YouTube videos into their promotional messages.

How it works?

A banner ad will appear across the top of the video player or as a link at the bottom when internet user click on the video. A succession of text ads will be also visible when users watch the video. These text ads will change at a rate of about 1 every 10 seconds at the bottom of the page and will seize a fifth of the video player screen. Advertisers will be charged on a cost-per-click or cost-per-impression basis. The advertising revenue will be shared with the video producer and the web publisher.

This program is a win-win relationship according to Google. Currently this new program is only available to a selected group of YouTube video providers. Mondo Media or Expert village have signed consent forms to provide/generate video content. Video Adsense is only available on YouTube US.

Converting Youtube Flash Videos to Avi

Many people have been interested in taking their favorite Youtube videos by transferring them into their portable video players, while it can certainly be done it is a bit hard for those who have no experience whatsoever in video re-encoding, but the truth is that it doesn’t have to be that difficult, just about anyone can do it.

Those who are lucky enough to have an iPhone can watch these videos anytime without the need to download and re-encode but those of us who don’t still have some alternatives. The first thing you need to learn is that Youtube doesn’t use standard video codecs such as WMV, AVI, MPEG, they are able to convert them into flash video (FLV) but they do not stream it in its original format.

The reason they do FLV is because this particular video container offers interactivity which is something other codecs don’t. The first step is to find a site which will let you download the actual Youtube video, there are plenty of those sites around, simply do a Google search for the phrase “download youtube videos” and you should come up with quite a few sites which ask you for the URL of the video you want to download, after providing the URL you can click “download” and the site will strip the FLV and allow you to download it to your hard drive. This is 50% of the game, the next step is to find a tool that will let you encode the video in a standard container such as MP4 (iPods) or AVI (all other video players)

Riva FLV encoder is a good piece of free software (freeware) which allows you to take that FLV you just download it and quickly encode it into AVI or MPG for those advanced users this software features many functions to change the transcoding settings and audio settings. This is not the only tool available though, by simply doing a search for the phrase “FLV to AVI converter” you will find several other applications that do the same job. Once the video has been converted it is just a matter of dragging and dropping it into your portable player, by the way this process can be done with Google video or any other video sharing site.

Youtube Videos Pull in Real Money

YouTube Videos Pull In Real Money

Christopher Capozziello for The New York Times

Michael Buckley, YouTube host, at home in Connecticut.

By BRIAN STELTER

Published: December 10, 2008

Making videos for YouTube — for three years a pastime for millions of Web surfers — is now a way to make a living.

Michael Buckley quit his day job in September. He says his online show is “silly,” but it helped pay off credit-card debt.

One year after YouTube, the online video powerhouse, invited members to become “partners” and added advertising to their videos, the most successful users are earning six-figure incomes from the Web site. For some, like Michael Buckley, the self-taught host of a celebrity chatter show, filming funny videos is now a full-time job.

Mr. Buckley quit his day job in September after his online profits had greatly surpassed his salary as an administrative assistant for a music promotion company. His thrice-a-week online show “is silly,” he said, but it has helped him escape his credit-card debt.

Mr. Buckley, 33, was the part-time host of a weekly show on a Connecticut public access channel in the summer of 2006 when his cousin started posting snippets of the show on YouTube. The comical rants about celebrities attracted online viewers, and before long Mr. Buckley was tailoring his segments, called “What the Buck?” for the Web. Mr. Buckley knew that the show was “only going to go so far on public access.”

“But on YouTube,” he said, “I’ve had 100 million views. It’s crazy.”

All he needed was a $2,000 Canon camera, a $6 piece of fabric for a backdrop and a pair of work lights from Home Depot. Mr. Buckley is an example of the Internet’s democratizing effect on publishing. Sites like YouTube allow anyone with a high-speed connection to find a fan following, simply by posting material and promoting it online.

Granted, building an audience online takes time. “I was spending 40 hours a week on YouTube for over a year before I made a dime,” Mr. Buckley said — but, at least in some cases, it is paying off.

Mr. Buckley is one of the original members of YouTube’s partner program, which now includes thousands of participants, from basement video makers to big media companies. YouTube, a subsidiary of Google, places advertisements within and around the partner videos and splits the revenues with the creators. “We wanted to turn these hobbies into businesses,” said Hunter Walk, a director of product management for the site, who called popular users like Mr. Buckley “unintentional media companies.”

YouTube declined to comment on how much money partners earned on average, partly because advertiser demand varies for different kinds of videos. But a spokesman, Aaron Zamost, said “hundreds of YouTube partners are making thousands of dollars a month.” At least a few are making a full-time living: Mr. Buckley said he was earning over $100,000 from YouTube advertisements.

The program is a partial solution to a nagging problem for YouTube. The site records 10 times the video views as any other video-sharing Web site in the United States, yet it has proven to be hard for Google to profit from, because a vast majority of the videos are posted by anonymous users who may or may not own the copyrights to the content they upload. While YouTube has halted much of the illegal video sharing on the site, it remains wary of placing advertisements against content without explicit permission from the owners. As a result, only about 3 percent of the videos on the site are supported by advertising.

But the company has high hopes for the partner program. Executives liken it to Google AdSense, the technology that revolutionized advertising and made it possible for publishers to place text advertisements next to their content.

“Some of these people are making videos in their spare time,” said Chad Hurley, a co-founder of YouTube. “We felt that if we were able to provide them a true revenue source, they’d be able to hone their skills and create better content.”

In a time of media industry layoffs, the revenue source — and the prospect of a one-person media company — may be especially appealing to users. But video producers like Lisa Donovan, who posts sketch comedy onto YouTube and attracted attention in the fall for parodies of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, do not make it sound easy. “For new users, it’s a lot of work,” Ms. Donovan said. “Everybody’s fighting to be seen online; you have to strategize and market yourself.”

Mr. Buckley, who majored in psychology in college and lives with his husband and four dogs in Connecticut, films his show from home. Each episode of “What the Buck?” is viewed an average of 200,000 times, and the more popular ones have reached up to three million people. He said that writing and recording five minutes’ worth of jokes about Britney Spears’s comeback tour and Miley Cyrus’s dancing abilities is not as easy as it looks. “I’ve really worked hard on honing my presentation and writing skills,” he said.

As his traffic and revenues grew, Mr. Buckley had “so many opportunities online that I couldn’t work anymore.” He quit his job at Live Nation, the music promoter, to focus full-time on the Web show.

There is a symmetry to Mr. Buckley’s story. Some so-called Internet celebrities view YouTube as a stepping stone to television. But Mr. Buckley started on TV and found fame on YouTube. Three months ago, he signed a development deal with HBO, an opportunity that many media aspirants dream about. Still, “I feel YouTube is my home,” he said. “I think the biggest mistake that any of us Internet personalities can make is establish ourselves on the Internet and then abandon it.”

Cory Williams, 27, a YouTube producer in California, agrees. Mr. Williams, known as smpfilms on YouTube, has been dreaming up online videos since 2005, and he said his big break came in September 2007 with a music video parody called “The Mean Kitty Song.” The video, which introduces Mr. Williams’ evil feline companion, has been viewed more than 15 million times. On a recent day, the video included an advertisement from Coca-Cola.

Mr. Williams, who counts about 180,000 subscribers to his videos, said he was earning $17,000 to $20,000 a month via YouTube. Half of the profits come from YouTube’s advertisements, and the other half come from sponsorships and product placements within his videos, a model that he has borrowed from traditional media.

On YouTube, it is evident that established media entities and the up-and-coming users are learning from each other. The amateur users are creating narrative arcs and once-a-week videos, enticing viewers to visit regularly. Some, like Mr. Williams, are also adding product-placement spots to their videos. Meanwhile, brand-name companies are embedding their videos on other sites, taking cues from users about online promotion. Mr. Walk calls it a subtle “cross-pollination” of ideas.

Some of the partners are major media companies; the ones with the most video views include Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, CBS and Warner Brothers. But individual users are now able to compete alongside them. Mr. Buckley, who did not even have high-speed Internet access two years ago, said his YouTube hobby had changed his financial life.

“I didn’t start it to make money,” he said, “but what a lovely surprise.”

Posting Videos on YouTube to Get Traffic For a Website: How to Do it Effectively

One of the most effective ways to get more traffic to your site is by posting videos on YouTube. YouTube is a popular social media site that internet users flock to everyday in order to watch different videos of their choice. You make use of this site to make your own web page popular as well, if you know the right techniques.

According to Yahoo Answers, here are some of the effective steps you can use when posting videos on YouTube:

First, try to make a high-quality and informative video. This is what counts the most. Your videos should contain substantial information that addresses the issues your target audiences are concerned about. Once your audiences have found your videos on YouTube, they will then go to your site to check out more of what you can offer. If you are asking how to increase website traffic using legitimate techniques, then this is the way to go.

Second, you must use the right keywords in describing your video. The keywords may act as tags so users who would do a search using those phrases can track down your video. This helps a lot especially when you want to make your video popular on YouTube. The keywords also work to organize your videos under the right categories, otherwise your entries not be easily found. By using the proper keywords, you get to practice link building strategies as well.

The next step in promoting your videos and how to increase website traffic is by spreading your videos in various blogs and social media sites. YouTube plays a big role in this step, as you need the embed code in order to plug your video on other sites. You can use this code to post your videos as comments and responses in forums, chats, other blogs, and feature them in other social media sites as well. If you have valuable insights to share especially when people ask questions, you can also refer them to your videos, just like what some people do at Yahoo Answers.

Aside from posting the videos and using their embed codes to post in other social media sites, you can also make use of the links provided by YouTube once your video is uploaded to the site. You can use this URL for link building techniques, as one of your tasks is to recommend the video to your audiences. This link comes in very handy especially when you submit articles to submission sites which do not allow videos to be played, only redirect URLs.

Finally, Yahoo Answers recommends that you add more videos to YouTube from time to time, especially when you want to promote your site. By adding new videos you inform both audiences and search engines that you have new, fresh content on your site, which they always love. Hence, if you have asked how to increase website traffic, this is a good way as well as being able to perform link building techniques with other sites under your niche.
