Digital Video Ad Spend
Source: eMarketer, May 2013
Digital video ad
spend continues to
rise rapidly as more
TV ad dollars shift to
digital.
Because video CPMs
are so much more
lucrative, it is more
lucrative for bad
guys too.

A new study [download page] from
VideoHub indicates that during the first
quarter, average viewability for online
video ads in the US was 83%, although
rates varied widely among properties,
from 43% on the low end to 94% on the
high end. Broadcast TV sites fared best
(89% on average) among property
categories, with networks and
exchanges (73%) bringing up the rear.
