About the AdoTube In-Stream Ad Format Index
AdoTube serves ads on thousands of publishers sites, serving 75 MM to 125MM in-video ad impressions per week.
This format index provides an overview of the effectiveness of our many different in-stream video ad formats over 2009, 2010 and Q1-Q2 2011.
Process:
We collected and analyzed data from a sample of over 5.3 Billion impressions deemed to be statistically relevant, taking advertising verticals, video content and targeting technique into account. This was then split into four distinct categories:
• Branded Overlay
• Interactive Overlay
• Standard Pre-Roll
• Polite Pre-Roll®
Additionally, we broke these results out over 17 verticals to analyze performance on an industry by industry basis.
The following data points are based on results derived from the AdoTube Network only and do not represent the in-stream ad space as whole.
