Hi,
Its very difficult to use the AdSolution plugin without being able to specify keywords at the time of inclusion (ie the HTML).
Take the video sharing website Vimeo for example. Would they create millions of Ad Groups in the advertising control panel to optimize ads for each video? Not a chance!
It would make more sense to be able to specify relevant keywords to the plugin when its included. Otherwise the only keywords available to the advertisers are the ones I initially specified like "Online video".
This shouldn't have to be a feature request, I'm surprised its not really included to begin with. Its simple advertising 101 -> Target your ads.
Funny cat -> Friskies cat food
Motorcycle wipeout -> Honda Motors
Banana slip and fall -> Delmonte
but as it is right now
Funny cat -> Online Video?
Motorcycle wipeout -> Online Video?
Banana slip and fall -> Online Video?
Useless for both me and your advertisers!
@Kevin - Where are you running the AdSolution?
I know it seems like something easy, but our AdSolution also tries to give you 100% fill, so if there is no ad, it will at least give you something. "Online Video" is better than nothing at all, right?
We also have premium ads, an example of one of these ads networks is Google AdSense for Video, which *will* give you relevant ads. If you feel as if you site qualifies for premium ads like this, please submit me your site at ethan [at] longtailvideo [dot] com, and I will submit you to the premium ad networks for approval, thank you.
