AdoTube In-Video Ad Format Index
AdoTube serves ads on thousands of publishers sites, serving 65MM to 90MM in-video ad
impressions per week.
This format index provides an overview of the effectiveness of our many different in-stream
video ad formats over 2009, Q1 2010, Q2 2010, Q3 2010, and Q4 2010.
Procedure:
We collected and analyzed data from a sample of over 3.5 Billion impressions deemed to be
statistically relevant, taking advertising verticals, video content, and type of targeting into
account. This was then split into four distinct categories:
• Branded Overlay
• Interactive Overlay
• Standard Pre-Roll
• Polite Pre-Roll®
Additionally, we broke these results out over 17 different verticals to analyze performance on
an industry by industry basis.
The following numbers are based on results derived from AdoTube’s Network only and do not
represent the in-video ad space as whole.

Rates remain solid at around 21%, over 7 times higher than leading rich media display
benchmarks.*

5. Ad Formats Even Out
2010: The Year Pre-Roll Lost Its Dominance
As the overall pie grew, Pre-Rolls lost their dominance falling in Q4 to 30% of ads
served. In their wake, newer Interactive Formats have grown explosively, and now
account for 50% of ads served. The most surprising story to come out of Q4 is the
bounce back of the Branded Overlays, which rose back up to a healthy 20% of ads
served.

9. Pre-Roll Length Breakdown
Nearly 50% of Polite Pre-Roll® Served are 30 Seconds or longer
In Q4, 48% of the Polite Pre-Rolls served were 30 seconds or longer. This is opposed to
Standard Pre-Rolls, where 15 second spots filled 60% of Pre-Rolls served.
Length has been known to greatly effect View-Thru Rates and abandonment rates. But, the
Polite Pre-Roll®, by giving viewers the ability to view the ad anytime during the video or to
opt out completely, allows advertisers to deliver their full message to those who wish to
receive it, without publishers sacrificing viewership to higher abandonment rates.

10. Polite Pre-Roll® vs. Standard Pre-Roll
The Polite Pre-Roll® view-thru rates rise despite hosting longer ads
Q4’s Polite Pre-Roll CTR fell, but better in line with expectations, just below 3%. Standard Pre-
Roll continued to decline.
View-Thru Rates rose as viewers showed a continued acceptance of the Pre-Roll format. Most
interestingly, the Polite Pre-Roll® View-Thru Rates have continued to rise despite the fact that
the length of the Polite Pre-Roll® is generally longer than Standard Pre-Rolls.

11. Campaigns by Vertical
Online Video Broadens Its Base: Big Push from CPG, Solid Entrance by Travel & Fashion
Q4 saw the start of a big shift and a broadened base of verticals investing in Online Video
Advertising. CPG made a huge push along with new entrants such as Travel, Fashion, & Finance.
Even though Entertainment and Electronics verticals ran more campaigns in 2010 than 2009, their
overall percentage fell dramatically year/year due to the addition of newer verticals.
This highlights how Online video itself has broadened its audience base beyond young male techies
to a burgeoning ecosystem of viewers with advertisers eagerly following.
