How do I enable my pages to show video ads?
To enable video ads to appear on your pages, you have to do two things:

How are video ads targeted?
Video ads are targeted in the same way that text and image ads are targeted to your pages -- contextually or through placement targeting. Learn more about ad targeting.How will I earn from video ads?
Your earnings from video ads will depend on the pricing of the specific video ads you display. Video ads can be either cost-per-click or cost-per-thousand-impressions. When paid on a CPC basis, you'll receive earnings for each valid clickthrough on ad -- that is, a click on the display URL or playing video that directs a user to the advertisers' website. When paid on a CPM basis, you'll be paid for impressions of the opening image, rather than plays of the video.Will I earn more with video ads?
As with text and image ads, we can't make any guarantees about the amount you'll earn from video ads. However, displaying video ads along with text and image ads on your site should lead to greater potential revenue for you. When you increase the pool of advertisers whose ads are eligible to display on your site, you'll increase competition for your ad space and drive your earnings up.Keep in mind that our system is optimized to display whichever ad or ads will generate the most revenue for you at all times. When we show a video ad on your site, it's because we've determined that it represents a higher value to you than the corresponding text or image ads that might otherwise run in that same ad space.
