| Youtube Display Ads |
GEOGLE | YouTube display ads, also known as "YouTube TrueView for Action" or "YouTube TrueView Discovery Ads," are a type of video ad format that appears on the YouTube platform. Unlike traditional video ads that play before, during, or after a video, display ads are shown in various locations on YouTube, such as search results, watch pages, and the YouTube homepage.
Here's an overview of YouTube display ads:
1. Format
Display ads on YouTube are thumbnail images accompanied by a headline and a brief description. They resemble organic content and are designed to blend in with the YouTube interface, making them less intrusive to users.
2. Call-to-Action (CTA)
Display ads include a CTA button that encourages viewers to click on the ad and engage with the content further.
3. Placement
YouTube display ads can appear in several locations, including:
a. YouTube search results: Displayed above or below the search results page when users search for specific keywords.
b. YouTube watch pages: Shown alongside the video player or in the video suggestions column.
c. YouTube homepage: Displayed in the "Up Next" section on the YouTube homepage.
4. Targeting
Advertisers can target their YouTube display ads based on various factors, such as user interests, demographics, keywords, topics, and placements. This allows them to reach their desired audience effectively.
5. Cost Model
YouTube display ads operate on a cost-per-view (CPV) basis. Advertisers are charged when a viewer clicks on the thumbnail and starts watching the video.
6. User Experience
Since display ads are designed to resemble organic content, they are typically less disruptive to users, leading to potentially higher engagement rates.
YouTube display ads can be a valuable addition to an advertising campaign, especially for brands looking to promote their content, products, or services to a targeted audience on the YouTube platform.
As always, advertising platforms may evolve and update their offerings to improve user experience and cater to advertisers' needs. If you're interested in running YouTube display ads, I recommend visiting the YouTube Ads Help Center or checking the latest information directly from the YouTube advertising platform to get the most up-to-date details on available ad formats and best practices.
