- happyyellowbug, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5This is interesting. Let's hope Google's new advertising inventions keep with their motto of: advertising must be useful.

https://adwords.google.com/select/SampleVideoAdCreative?Dimension=VID_200_200 - invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3you are just clueless. for too many reasons than i have time to list in a digg comment
- Rethcir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Could be bad news for Burst, Fastclick, etc.
- Bob042, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think I've forgotten what google ads look like, though.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1as far as i can tell, it's just speculation.. they said starting today, people "will see" (as in it possibly isn't there as of right now..) what looks like a banner ad on "a variety of Web sites in six cities"
if someone sees one of these mystery ads, please link - LiveWire530, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree, I highly doubt google will ask you to shoot the monkey with the stupid banners.
- djbelieve, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Has anyone seen this in action yet? Maybe a screenshot or video...?
- amohongos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Advertising is useful for businesses, not individuals. Google may make it more "relevant" to an individual surfer, but in the end, the purpose of any advertisment is to influence your purchase decisions, not to provide a service. If I'm in the market to buy something, I prefer to read unbiased reviews from individuals, not advertising.
- ech0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0***** commie, go rot in hell
- ech0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0advertising makes you aware of the product, of course its useful to the individual. ok, maybe alot of ads are not useful to you but there is a handful that are useful and do help you. if your not aware of a product how are you going to buy it?
- hashembajwa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The ads go live on Google's content network this weekend in those specific cities, but you will be able to see all of them on http://www.saturn.com/videocampaign on Monday and can see a demo now at: http://www.goodbysilverstein.com/saturngoogle
- hashembajwa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The ads will appear as a static image with a Google video player and have to be clicked on to play. So it won't be annoying flashing anything. The effort is trying to maybe set a bar for good content that people won't find annoying but interesting.

Get it right!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Actually, Google's real motto is "Advertising must look exactly like the rest of the links on a page, so stupid people won't know they're being advertised to."
That was the whole reason text ads took off in the first place- they had much, much higher clickthroughs than banner ads which were obvious advertisements.
Now google's going to add spinning/flashing banners? They wouldn't bother unless their core text-ad profit engine is waning.. - coldphoenix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0just, WHAT????
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Exactly...
http://digg.com/tech_news/Idea_Digg_story_URL_response_rankings - JackSchaefer, on 10/12/2007, -17/+1Everyone should put a ban on supporting google in any way. They have become to much of an internet problem, no longer what they were in the early days. Now they are just money hungry bastards.
