Comments on: Viddler’s New Tag-Based Advertising System http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/19/viddlers-new-tag-based-advertising-system/ Startup and Technology News Fri, 22 Aug 2008 01:38:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: ThePete http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/19/viddlers-new-tag-based-advertising-system/#comment-1782664 ThePete Thu, 22 Nov 2007 02:52:15 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/19/viddlers-new-tag-based-advertising-system/#comment-1782664 Can anyone compare this to MetaCafe's system of paying $5 for every 1000 plays? I think MC is a little better just because there are hard numbers you can rely on. Saying Viddler will split revenue 50/50 is kind of vague. I've had google adsense on my blog for years and good content does not always equate to lots of clicking on ads. However, if the Viddler system is better, I'd love to know how--I'm looking for a single method for monetizing my videos.

I am guessing that they or I need to tweak the settings a bit so that more relevant adds show up...thanks for article Tech Crunch, you rock as well.

Sure, shes pretty, sure, she's not as talented as alot of girls I know who work in this industry. I think we can safely assume its her looks which have got her were she is. The bikini in snow video showed me she was using her ample physique to appeal to the geek masses. Maybe Tech Crunch can do a sexy girls of the web industry count down. Its all about the hits, huh? ;) She wouldn’t be berated for wearing makeup, but when the makeup is probably contributing to global warming its another matter.

I like Viddler's concept; can't get more targetted than that (except for some Video Maps). If there's one improvement I'd like to see in Viddler is a narrower advertising option which remains close to the timeline.

I hate to defend people, but I have become more impressed with Justine - she did a good job at BWE in Vegas and I think she could become the infomercial girl for Web 2.0. I am guessing she is what Amanda wanted to be. I use Viddler for CN videos because it just works better than YT. I have tried YT and it sends basically no traffic back to CN. I like the viddler player, the upload and the timed tags. What I hope for in some video tool is a way to do overlays for the site that created them. For example, on a CN video, I'd like to start the video with an overlay that links back to CN. When a person views my video say on x blog, there is no linkage back to CN, only to viddler. I think this is a huge opportunity for some video sharing product. I posted about this as well last week (click my name if interested).
