Make Money Every Time You Share a Video

blinkx AdHoc
Make money every time you share a video on your blog,
website or social networking profile. It's easy to do!
blinkx's technology matches relevant, in-video text
ads to any video. Whenever someone clicks on an ad
in your video, you make half the cash!

blinkx AdHoc is the revolutionary new video advertising
platform from blinkx, the video search company. AdHoc
was launched last year and has been used primarily
for a closed beta program that has tested the
effectiveness of contextually targeting ads in video.

The blinkx AdHoc widget allows regular online users
to add advertising to videos they embed online. When
viewers watch the videos, they are shown the ads.
If the ads are clicked on, the user is diverted to
a URL of the advertiser's choice and the
advertiser's budget is depleted by a single
cost-per-click charge. Thanks to AdHoc's
targeting, widget users only get relevant,
useful ads, and advertisers only have to pay
when their ad actually delivers a user.

AdHoc looks at meta data and parses any speech
in the video to match the clip with an appropriate
ad. Suranga Chandratillake, co-founder and CTO
of Blinkx, says their network has improved ad
yields anywhere from 10-150% depending on the
content of the video. Short entertainment clips
don’t tend to see as much improvement, but longer
informational clips see higher gains by picking
out advertisements related to the concepts
being discussed.

Blinkx has done their best to not obstruct the
operation and ads of the original player. Ads
show up as drop down text links at the top of
video or as a static box displayed above
the player.

blinkx AdHoc rewards you for sharing videos.

Next time you embed a video from a video-sharing
site, simply run the embed code through blinkx
AdHoc first to start making money. When you add
the embedded video, it will have contextually
relevant ads placed near or on it.

If your viewers click on these ads, the advertiser
pays blinkx, and blinkx will share 50% of that
revenue with you.

Video sites that work with AdHoc tested include the
following are known to work: MySpace, GoogleVideo,
YouTube, Revver, Metacafe, Veoh, DailyMotion,
Break, FunnyOrDie, Vimeo, JibJab,
iFilm, and CollegeHumor.

To create an account, all you need is an email,
password, and PayPal email address. You must have a
PayPal account in order to get paid once you
start making money.
