Humor websites are delivered comedy clips, history websites delivered historical video clips, political websites are delivered topical news content. All content is preceded by a short 15 to 30 second streamed video commercial. Revenues generated from the video views are shared with the sites placing the player on their site.

[emediawire.com...]

Not very many vertical market areas serviced at the moment, and you don't get paid unless the user-initiated video is played, but an interesting contextual program. And like AdSense, they don't tell you how much you get paid. Although I do find it rather ironic that they are running AdSense on the Vidsense parent site ;)

At first I thought I had logged onto a VH1 / Coca-Cola site with that logo of theirs.

Is it just me or does the name Vidsense beg a lawsuit?

Maybe they hope so too... a little litigious frolic with Google would probably provide a lot of exposure. I think somebody should sue them for underlining all those non-links on their home page.

Nevertheless it is an interesting idea.

I guess I'm just bitter because I'm on dial-up.

msnvideo.com is the way it should be done... that other stuff is pretty cheesy looking.

better yet, give me some video ads in flash, and let me put 'em in front of my streaming video content.

are there any affiliate networks who are doing that with publishers of video content?
