Google Video Units: A New Way to Make Money with Adsense

• Posted by Badi Jones on October 11th, 2007 - Comment on this Post »

Today while creating a new adsense ad, I stumbled upon a new feature called Video Units. Google has teamed up with YouTube for this project.

Seems sort of random, but I suppose it may come in handy. We’ll have to wait and see. I’ve got a few sites that do well with embedded youtube videos, so this may work there, but as far as I can tell, you can’t just specify one video to play. It has to be either videos based on a category, or keywords.

Heres one I made really quick. (it’s not working in the preview, but maybe after I publish)
EDIT: Well, surprise. Google Video Units don’t work with wordpress. Oh well. So much for that. Seems sort of silly that they didn’t think about that before going public with this.

And here’s the video from Google explaining how to use it.
