Welcome to the YouTube and AdSense Resource Center, which includes resources for web publishers, video content providers and YouTube users interested in video content and monetization. Video units (for video-format advertising) are now available for AdSense publishers. Google video units provide you with quality video content for your targeted traffic streams. Unlike past AdSense features, video units allow publishers to contribute to the ad content placed on their pages with the option to choose video producers or content categories themselves. In the YouTube and AdSense Resource Center you’ll find links to:
§ Blog entries that cover Google’s announcement of AdSense video units.
