Video Ads

Are we paid when the Video is played?

I have the:

google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
google_ad_format = "336x280_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";

on one of my sites and I am getting a lot of the Cadillac video ads.

My question is: am I paid when someone clicks to watch the video, or must they also click through to Cadillac.com at the end of the video?

From the Adsense Help Center:

How will I earn from video ads?

Your earnings from video ads will depend on the pricing of the specific video ads you display. Video ads can be either cost-per-click or cost-per-thousand-impressions. When paid on a CPC basis, you'll receive earnings for each valid clickthrough on ad -- that is, a click on the display URL or playing video that directs a user to the advertisers' website

Maybe this time you can search the AdSense Help Center yourself. When you do, you'll find the answer to your question.
