Google and YouTube are experimenting with new online advertising strategies, I recently saw some AdSense experiments, like a little search box instead of ads where the users had the opportunity to search for advertising, a llittle strange because I suppose that people would’t search for advertising, they would prefer to search for content. By the way, Google has also opened the doors for more countries and languages for advertising in videos with Video Units, the adsense program was available only for US, Canada & UK editors, now more people will have the opportunity to earn more money using YouTube videos.
