Make MONEY from Web Videos Ads!

Blinkx, one of the world's largest and most advanced video search engine has recently launched Blinkx AdHoc, a service that allows you to earn money from advertisements placed above the web video! All you need to do is register with Blinkx, and have a valid PayPal e-mail account (registration is free at PayPal). Do remember that only text advertisements that are relevant to the video will be displayed (similar to Google Adsense showing relevant text ads for relevant words, but in this case its for videos). Not all videos will have ads displayed. blinkx's AdHoc technology looks for relevant ads and only shows those that it predicts will be relevant and useful for your viewers. As a result, there will be times when there are few or even no ads shown, and you won't make money. Payment is made directly to your PayPal account once you have accumulated USD20.00.

Overall, getting started with Blinkx is super easy, and it took me a few minutes to figure out how it works, despite being new to web videos in general.

I believe Google will be offering this VERY SOON for its YouTube videos. This will allow people who post videos on YouTube to potentially earn advertisement dollars! Another revenue stream for the general public. Wonderful.

In the meantime, I have applied the Blinkx AdHoc system below. Check out the video and do CLICK ON THE ADVERTISEMENT LINK in the video. I will monitor and report back in this blog whether this scheme by Blinkx really works.

Here's the video, and don't forget to click on the advertisement (if you see it. You may not see any advertisements depending on whether Blinkx has any ads to serve). You may need to click on the ad twice before the pop-up window opens to the advertiser's side (1st click is to activate the control, 2nd click is to pop up the window)
