wow doods! congrats! Thats uber rad ---

I like the way the ads dont take over the vid - they get the point across without being obtrusive.. well done!

ya, i hate having to wacth an advertisement before the video, these are short and the exit option is great.

Ya this pretty much kicks ass compared to ads that take over the first few seconds of the video in the beginning or end of a video. I like that I don't feel like my video watching experience is being taken over/interrupted by ads that take up the whole player. Looking forward to hearing what the next step will bring to all the producers out there.

thats cool

So we get paid if someone click on an add in our videos???

Congrats!! When are you moving to Mountain View?

Man, what video is this? Love everything about the aesthetic.

to fajne... udalo mi sie obejzec oba video synchronicznie.

really good idea, adds are relevant and unintrusive. Plus it means better pinkbike and a big oportunity for uploaders of HQ content. Great video too.

WOW! I'm speechless and that doesn't happen to often. I guess we should all prepare for some incredible footage to come! Mad Props to PB!

good idea guys, doesn't distract the video at all, and can close the ad easy instead of trying to find the X button and then missing half the vid trying to close it, good job

and also that video should be VOD!

Thats a really cool idea.
How much money are we talkig about here ?

this is such a great idea. If i think a video is good, i can now clikc on the ad, as well as commenting, to give the producer props!

If I have to have ads in front of me I can't think of a better way to do it. Some of the current schemes are absolutely brutal but these two options are completely tolerable. Great idea.

Try and make paypal an option for when you are paying the money out because otherwise you have to wait for checks to clear from google (or google could start up a service similar to paypal that could be linked to a bank account)

I like this a lot, its nice how the video pauses when you click the ad

i know im soundin like a bit f a dik here but when i scrolled through there were only a few adverts. will there be more when it is up and running??, how do you get onto the adverts, wouldn't it be a good idea to just repetadle clicking on your own vids to get money

i know im soundin like such a dik and this is such a great idea, im just interested in the ammount of adverts there will be and how to get an advert.

Thts awesome, congrats for pinkbike gettin together with google. Sounds quite complicated but suppose will b clearer very soon. Keep us posted!

What would the 3Mbps h264 format be in Sony Vegas? Can anyone help?

radek, About the paypal, isn't there a certain age requirement to have an account? This isn't like forums where you can lie about your age, its gotta be real for paypal. Would I be able to bring in any money at 16?

Get your parents permission.

I know that it isn't certain yet, but around how much can you guess the uploader will get per click? A penny? and what currency?

When did you start testing this, because I remember seeing an ad like that pop up on a video a long long time back and getting kinda angry If the user gets paid, however, its all good

what about if I post my friends vids would they get payed or would I?

This is so Rad! really good idea

Will this mean PinkBike will be getting more money, therefore becoming a better site, Paying staff? Paying the forum mods and whatnot? Maybe more contests like the lizard skins one and some free giveaways?

This is a great idea and I appreciate the way the advertisement doesn't interfere with the video. However, what's to stop people from clicking on ads in their own videos and making money off of that?

$$$$$$$$$$ Its about time that Google give some of that $ out. This is great for us people wanting to get our vid's out and get $ for it. You know, to buy better equipment, bikes, go to different locations. Yea PB & Google. $$$$$$$$$

My new fav sandwich PB & Google

well....more money for more views/clicks...you can all be expecting a LOT of videos from me soon Pinkbike is leading the video revolution!

what if some little kid posts a nwd clip, does he get the money. or is it just production movies?

Wow, this site is going to explode with videos very soon. Congradts.

so copyrighted video is obviously out but most of the vids on here have copyrighted soundtracks, how will that affect things?

Dope idea Radek!

this is a really great idea and will totally help motivate me to shoot some film. I have always loved editing, just never really putting the bike down to shoot, but hey if I can get paid then im all for it.

Remember guys, don't post stupid videos just because of this. Use this as a advantage to learn how to edit and film some really nice videos. I want to see some good videos. Have a fun day, and happy editing and filming. Don't forget to check my videos out!

it seems as though the majority of u here belive this is a way to get money fast!

if you read it in detail it says the viewer musy CLICK on the add to make the money for you. now who here can say tht they acuakly click on those adds most of us 99.97% close them becouse there annoying.
just my 2cents

absolutely brilliant!

best idea ever!!!!!!

pinkbike is has gotten so insane this last year. i heart you guys!!!!

It will be interesting to see the final numbers. It it says that the content owner will get a potion of the ad revenue. Where does the other portion go? Great idea though.

i think adverts wil ruin it pinkbike dont need to put adverts on videos they make a bomb of advertising of the site it self so why do they need to make extra money so that the users upload more videos as an incentive i just think it will ruin pinkbike video

Excellent development! Of the two above options, I think the Rich Media advertising demo has more to offer to advertisers and consumers alike without hindering watchability, so my vote goes to that style of advertising. It seems to stand out more without taking anything away. Kudos!!

I think effective advertising helps consumers more than most people like to think.

These ads ruin the videos. I'm not a fan.

so is this already up and running?, because i was just watching a vid and the ad popped up, of course i clicked becuase im a nice guy

hey guys, if we watch a video and really like it, we all could click on at least one of the ads (even if we don't care about what's being advertised) just to get some money to the rider/editor, showing him our appreciation for his work.

So what if were not 18 to sign up for paypal, how do we get our profits?

You know I like this Idea, It means that it may be possible to make a little bit of cash to fund videos and get higher quality videos made for people to see!!... The power of money.. all kneel before it~~~

good idea for adverisers to get to the target audience. it is a little obtrusive at first but then you can just get rid of the ad. great idea.
ps. whats the song in that video?

So, is this for all filmmakers or just the High-Quality ones? I mean, I'm an average filmmaker. Far from the best, but not even the worst.

I would like to know who these filmmakers that post HQ movies are?

wow so basically someone will be making $0.05 a year when i click on ad add that pops up in a video. i just wanna point out that those ads are sooo frustrating and all they do is piss me off and make me wanna tell the company to piss off. the only clicking they will get from me is the one to x out the add. i dont think people understand that they are turning people into billboards. honestly who clicks on those add on purpose. only time i open those is by accident while trying to close them out.

Nice

At the moment I use Revver to upload my videos too, can you comment on how the payout will be compared to them? I really like how you guys are doing it though...I think I may use this in the future...thanks PB.

i have one really big problem with this new advertising. when i want to watch a short video it is absolutely impossible to watch it because the stupid add pops up every time and i am really pissed off to be quite honest.

I think this is a great idea, that we get payed for doing videos!!! Now I can get more cash, to build, all my jumps, and get me some equipent!!

Where, will you post all the info, about, Paypall payment, and how everything works ???

Thanks.
