I can make money on my videos, should I take the offer?

[GroudonRobotWars]

So I was in my Youtube when I was uploading some Halloween stuff in October and I noticed this, I have done nothing about it though, should I take the offer?

[Resetti's Replicas]

Sure, why not?  There's going to inevitably come a day where Google puts ads on videos without paying the owners, I say why not get a slice while the getting's good?


You of course can't monetize any video where they've put "matched 3rd party content" and you won't acutally see any money until you accumulate $100 in earning.


I made jack  sh** in ad revenue today, it's frustrating sometimes.

Resetti, how much do you make per view? Is it a fraction of a cent/penny?

I only get paid when someone actually clicks an ad.  The amount I get is up to the advertiser, but it is usually more than a penny - so at least each click contributes a tangible amount


Oh and I retract my jack sh** comment, I actually earned one cent yesterday after I logged off.

Funny thing is, with Ad Block Plus in Firefox, I never see any ads.

I got this in email about a month ago

Hi ACAMS,


I work for More Digital; a UK based Digital Marketing Consultancy.


We represent clients interested in social media marketing on smaller sites with little or no existing advertising and we're currently looking for advertising partners.


We pay a fixed upfront annual fee which we will agree on with you. Once the ad is in place, payment is made within approximately 48 hours.


Would you be interested in placing a small text-based ad on Gametechmods.com?


Kind regards,
Amanda McRae

I didn't answer and then I got this

Hi ACAMS,


We recently contacted you regarding advertising for one of our clients.


We pay an annual fee to you as soon as the advert is live. It is a straightforward process and we work with you to make sure we fit naturally with your site. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll send you more details.


Would you be interested in selling us a simple text based advertisement on your website Gametechmods.com?


Best regards,
Amanda McRae

I told her that I didn't want ads on GTM

[powerrave]

Yeah, lets keep GTM ad-free. Looks nice as it is now.

Oh, I might start clicking the ads more. (Well TBH I do it accidentally a lot of the time.)

[Resetti's Replicas]

That'd be awesome.  Don't do too many "deliberates" in a short period of time, they apparently have a way to track deliberates.

Yeah, well I only watch each video once so it should be fine.

His name is an acronym for the machine shop he owns.

What do you guys use to block those damn ads in youtube vids

I now use FF to try to block them, but my adblocker still lets them popup in the window

In FF, get the Ad Block Plus plugin. Works very well for me.
