YouTube video advertising system has been available since 2010, and while it has always been an efficient and effective way of generating targeted, opt-in views for video advertisements, the user interface and targeting options have, until recently, been a little confusing for many advertisers. That's why, on April 15th, Google updated the system to offer better and more flexible targeting options.
Before the rollout, Google made some small improvements to the system, such as removing in-slate ads from videos that were greater than ten minutes in length. As part of the TrueView rollout it reduced the number of ad formats that it offered to just two, merging the TrueView in-search ad option with its other old thumbnail ad option.
In-search and In-display thumbnail differences: With In-display - You have thumbnail ads that will now be targeted to show on either the recommended video list in the the right side panel or the In-search results. The advertisers are charged on a per-view basis. In-stream - Are those ads that run as a pre-roll just before another video runs on YouTube. In most cases, YouTube online viewers are given the option to skip or view these ads which only run for a few seconds anyway.
In-display ads are charged based on cost-per-view, while in-stream ads are run as a pre-roll before normal videos. Advertisers will not be charged for their ad being shown if the user skips the ads within the first few seconds. Views are counted only if the user watches the ad in its entirety (for short ads) or for more than 30 seconds for longer ads.
This change will come in April and should lead to quality results in the short and long-term. The change will not be made all in one shot. It is going to come in a two-pronged approach. TrueView Ads will be first changed in April and then the final system will be implemented in the middle of May. The old system will become obsolete after this date for ads that were already in the system.
