What are YouTube Video Ads?
YouTube video ads are a form of online advertising that appears before, during, or after YouTube videos, as well as within search results and on the YouTube homepage. These ads allow businesses to promote their products, services, or brand message to the vast audience of YouTube users.
They come in various formats such as:
- TrueView In-Stream Ads: Viewers can skip after five seconds. Advertisers are charged when viewers watch at least 30 seconds or engage with the ad.
- TrueView Discovery Ads: Displayed alongside videos and in search results, they are charged only when viewers click to watch.
- Bumper Ads: Quick, non-skippable ads limited to six seconds.
- Non-Skippable In-Stream Ads: Viewers cannot skip these 15-20 second ads.
