Google launches Paid Music videos

The latest Google service is about to revolutionize online music sharing. Google will offer anyone the possibility to put thousand of up to date Music videos on their websites. The best deal in this is that they will offer money to the website owners each time that video is viewed! This is going to be a major step forward in the Online Music video world.

Google is getting ready to enter the video advertising arena. They have already signed major contracts with big names in the video industry. Some of you may have noticed that Google AdSense ads can now display music video clips from Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment. I must admit that all this looks very promising !

Basically in the next couple of weeks, Google will be offering their members using Google Adsense to display music videos instead of ordinary text ads. These video ads will be accompanied with advertising.

This is not the first time Google is distributing video clips throught their Adsense service. Google distributed in August 2006, music videos clips in partnership with MTV on websites using Adsense. But this time, Google is playing it big by partnering with huge groups such as Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment, but also with many small media companies. Users will have the possiblity to choose their own playlist to play on their website ! The revenues from the ads will be split between Google, the publisher and the music company. Apparantly, the ads will be billed on a cost-per-thousand-impressions model.

This new service from the giant Google is surely going to change the way music videos are percieved and market online. Videos will be now available everywhere and people won’t have to go to specific places such as media websites in order to view them. The companies owning the videos (music companies) will be able to choose the sites where their music video ads will be displayed and extend their reach on the internet.

All in all a briliant new service from Google! Thank you Google yet again!
