Wondering if anyone else has seen this happening on Google Video.

I noticed this about an hour ago, it's weird that there isn't anything there. (it was the same video) maybe that's what you get for being posted on the GVideo Homepage :-) |
For reference, the Digg article links to http://post.ikstore.co.uk/story1.html
(Digg is often very slow to load...) |
Here is the link to the video. Though the whole thing is a promotion, the very end is an actual ad. Notice the blue in the progress bar and "Ads by Google"

What is the ad?
I'm not seeing it – which could be due to geotargetting. |
I see it here. I think it's a great idea for ads to be after the videos. That way you can start seeing the video immediately. It might not give them the same amount of revenue but it still is the google way to go. |
Gosh, Google Video definately doesnt stand a chance against YouTube, now. Perhaps Google should buy YouTube. |
When I see the blue space some hours ago, I thought it was a bug from google video. But in fact nope, it's a ad. But Zmarties is right, there is geotargetting behind this. Proof : I can see the video on video.google.com but it doesn't work on video.google.fr , .es, .de and others... |
>> You're kidding, right?
Can you not smell the irony? |
Yeah, my friend sent me the URL of the video last night... http://googlified.com/2006ads-in-google-video/ |
