Google Offers Some Videos for Free
8 Comments
Google this week began offering for free selected content from its Google Video library that normally costs between 99 cents and $4.95. The company is testing out embedded advertising in the videos to see if it can bring in more revenue than charging per view.
An advertisement is displayed above the content, while the commercial appears at the end of the video. Google says it has signed on less than ten advertisers for the initial trial. Free videos include episodes of the Charlie Rose show, classic movies, documentaries, and extreme sports.
