I Never did Figure Out how Ad Videos made Money

Google is eliminating the Adsense Video option.  Not surprisingly, they say due to poor performance.  I always wondered how well those worked…First of all, a banner ad is one thing, but I can’t honestly say I was ever persuaded to click the little play button on the ad video unit.  As in, I wanted to watch a commercial?  The image frame with the play button better have been REAL good.  Maybe ones full of boobs or something would be the only way to get me to click play.  But that would be banned by the TOS.  Hmmmmmm.  Now there’s an interesting business opportunity…
