Google turns on AdSense for Feeds and Video Units

Video Units are a mashup with YouTube. Adsense user gets to select a YouTube format and customize it to the advertising site’s color theme. The category of videos to be displayed are also customizable though a user can not choose a specific video to be displayed. AdSense for Content units are displayed over the video when it is being played. Larger formats also display Ads upfront without having to playback the video.

Interestingly this is being managed on YouTube servers and not on AdSense and hence some analytical features like channles have a limited availability. A new custom channel “Video Units” is automatically created and earnings are reported under the AdSense for Content section.

Following is a sample Video Unit. (Disclaimer: I do not urge you to click on the ads inside this unit. This is solely for demonstration purpose)

Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com

Available formats for the Video Units are show in the following image. The above Video Unit is a 500×510 layout.

About

I have over 5 years of experience in architecting and developing web applications.

I am currently working at Akamai Technologies as a Sr. Software Engineer responsible for gathering/conceptualizing requirements and architecting the “Media Analytics” product, which is part of the Akamai HD Network. Previously at Akamai, I was working in the portal development team for the “Performance Analytics” suite of products, responsible for feature development and usability enhancements. At Akamai, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the business of online “Analytics”, and building & using large-scale software for it.

Prior to this, I worked as a Technical Architect at Info Edge (I) Ltd (company that owns high traffic portals like: Naukri.com, Jeevansaathi.com, Brijj.com, 99acres.com etc.). I was the first member of the Brijj.com technical team and was responsible for hiring and bootstrapping the complete team; and architecting the product. For Naukri.com, I played a key role in implementing and optimizing Lucene based distributed and scalable Resume Search Engine in Core Java. I was also responsible for performance tweaking (Apache & Lighttpd for high performance and low response time), and taking initiatives to deliver smart, fast and quality products for the company.

Apart from these, I have also undergone six months of extensive training experience at Tata Consultancy Services, responsible for re-writing existing Pro*COBOL code in equivalent PL/SQL scripts.

In my free time, I developed

Sensex Ticker, a firefox addon that displays BSE stock prices in firefox status bar.
