YouTube and Advertising

[Geoserv]

I read an article on CNN that says most companies aren't spending the millions on ads for the Superbowl, they are instead using YouTube for advertising.

YouTube seems to be a great place for companies to do cheap advertising, especially if their commercial is a little over the top for TV.

Does this surprise anyone? It didn't surprise me at all.

I am not surprised at all. Why not use all the mediums that you can!

think out of the box...advertisers pay what seems to be alot of money for a 60 second superbowl ad..but in reality there getting the best deal in the market....in todays age its not the 60 seconds of air time..its the hours of news coverage ..incuding news articles like the one posted.....and now even better...the hundreds of hours of views by online video users when these commericals are uploaded...there is a reason these big companies can afford the millions to buy superbowl tv time..

Yet another reason why Google purchased YouTube.

I would advertise on YouTube vidoes too if I wasnt lazy. Would need to find someone who submits lots of videos.

I have used You tube for marketing. Very lowbrow but it worked even in my niche, I was suprised at the results.

In all it took me about 3 hrs to make 2 fishing type videos and I have had visitors everyday from there! not huge amounts but everyone is worth it!!

Not surprised at all.

I think it will be way cheaper for companies to advertise at Youtube than any other medium.
