YouTube’s Pay Per View
(PPV) Video Advertising
YouTube advertising utilizes a pay-per-view (PPV) structure, which means that, for the most part, you only spend money on the ads that people see and interact with. With direct targeting, we can ensure that you’re not wasting resources on ads that aren’t likely to convert. We’ll focus our efforts on placing your ads in front of the right people at the right time, meaning more click-throughs and more conversions. Because if you’re not optimizing your YouTube ad presence, you’re missing out on a major source of revenue.
YouTube by The Numbers
It pays to set your sights on YouTube marketing. The big value of YouTube ads lies in their ability to reach not just a big audience but an engaged one. In 2015, “18-49 year-olds spent 74% more of their time watching YouTube videos, and 4% less time watching TV. On average, the site gets 1 billion views a day on mobile devices alone. The average mobile viewing session? More than 40 minutes.” (source: Brand Watch).
For businesses big and small who are looking to drive more attention to their ads, YouTube’s ability to provide such an extensive reach means that advertising efforts on the platform tend to pay off. Users are spending more uninterrupted time on YouTube than they are on other video marketing and social media platforms, and trends show that this is unlikely to change.

Types of YouTube Ads
One of the biggest benefits of dedicated YouTube ads services is the assistance you get with navigating the various ad types available on the social media site. Whether you want to focus on one type of YouTube ad or multiple types at once, a YouTube adverts manager can help you choose the right types for the right ad campaign content and objectives.
TrueView in-stream ad (skippable)
TrueView in-stream ads are YouTube video ads that are typically shown before the video the user has selected to watch. Viewers can skip the ad after five seconds or continue watching it until the end. With TrueView in-stream ads, you only pay when a viewer watches either 30 seconds of your ad or watches it to the end (whichever is shorter) or when they interact with your ad in some way, such as by clicking through or engaging with another element of it.
Non-Skippable Video Ad
Non-skippable video ads on YouTube require viewers to watch the entire advertisement without the option to skip. These ads last, on average, around 15 to 20 seconds. While non-skippable ads ensure more exposure, they may lead to more viewer frustration.
YouTube Display Ad
TrueView in-display ads, also called in-search YouTube video ads or TrueView discovery ads, appear in YouTube search displays alongside other YouTube videos (not all of which are ads). They’re designated by a small “ad” banner next to the display name. With these types of ads, you pay only when a viewer clicks on your ad to watch it.
YouTube Bumper Ads
YouTube bumper ads are limited to six seconds and must be watched before the video the viewer has chosen to watch can be viewed. With bumper ads, you pay per impression.
YouTube Overlay Ads
Overlay ads are semi-transparent, interactive ads that appear on the lower portion of a YouTube video while it’s playing. They feature a small text headline and a call to action.
YouTube Sponsored Cards
Sponsored cards are interactive, clickable overlays that appear within YouTube videos as they play. Similar to overlay ads, sponsored cards allow advertisers to promote products, services, or other content related to the video being watched non-intrusively. Sponsored cards usually include images, text, and a call-to-action button.
