YouTube TrueView Ads Now Playing on Videos Embedded on Websites!

YouTube has been good to me over the past year and a half.  At first they just hosted all of my video content for free.  Then they allowed me to monetize my content and after a year I now make a decent living off of my videos.  The only little thing I disliked was that I could not fully monetize my videos when they were embedded on to websites.  So when I embedded my videos onto EverymanIT.com the TrueView ads (Video Commercials) were not displayed and I did not earn revenue the same way I would if someone watched one of my videos on it’s YouTube page.

 

 

It appears that YouTube has now changed to allow TrueView ads to play when videos are embedded onto other websites.  This should increase my overall revenue by $50-$100 per day!!!

 

For me this is yet another example of why it’s good to be a YouTube partner.  They continuously improve their services and increase the ways to earn revenue from your content.

    I see that you are showing that True-View ads are showing on your site, but I checked out a few of your vids and do not see true-view ads. Do you know if YT has discontinued this ability? is there a special tag you use in the embed code to enable true view?

    Thanks!

    Apparently TrueView ads are only running on videos created through Google Hangout. My Hangout videos display TrueView ads on EverymanIT.com, but the ones I just uploaded do not…

    Interesting… perhaps it’s a test tat they’re running before deploying it to all content..? We’ll just wait and see!
