Youtube Trueview Ads Update Coming Soon

By Hajj Isa


YouTube is constantly tweaking its advertisement system by focusing on what works best. Gone are the days of the long (10 minutes ) advertisements that were not winning the hearts of viewers and in come the "TrueView" ads. These ads are designed to remain within the video and maximize keywords to get results. This type of advertisement has proven to be quite effective. YouTube TrueView ads is going to be implemented fully with an update in April.



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.

This is where the update comes into play as the TrueView ads are designed to better the buying process for those who click the ads. It will make the entire process that much cleaner and crisper for viewers.

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.

These format changes in ads and how they are targeted, were implemented since the 15th of April, so advertisers will have to select on which network they would like to display their ads, these can be on YouTube, YouTube search or Google Display Network at campaign level.
