Steve Jobs has made it the focus of Apple Computer's new strategy. Nearly every major media outlet is obsessed with figuring it out. And video file-sharing site YouTube, non-existent two years ago, now has buzz rivaling that of the original Napster. So it makes sense that ad dollars should follow the new medium. Market research firm eMarketer predicts that U.S. online video advertising is expected to total $385 million in 2006, up 71% from a year ago. That's more than twice the growth rate of overall U.S. online advertising spending, which is projected to reach $16.7 billion this year, up 34% from last year. Online video advertising could hit $1 billion by 2010, says JupiterResearch. But advertisers and Internet video aren't a perfect match yet. The main problem: While Internet users now seem happy to watch clips on their computers--a recent poll says that half of them have done so--they may not be watching the kind of stuff that marketers want to buy ads on. YouTube boasts that it has stored 100 million video clips on its site, but the anything-goes nature of them--home-brewed stuff mixed with clips of copyrighted, unauthorized material--makes some advertisers wary. Meanwhile, professionally produced content you can find at established Web sites has a harder time drawing eyeballs. "Advertisers and Web publishers have been waiting for consumers to watch--it's been a pretty slow build,'' says Jeff Lanctot, vice president and general manager of Internet advertising agency Avenue A/Razorfish, a subsidiary of aQuantive (nasdaq: AQNT - news - people ). "The interest and demand of online advertisers has outpaced that of online consumers." It's a point of view seconded by Greg Stuart, the Interactive Advertising Bureau's outgoing chief executive. "The big stumbling block now is continued consumer adoption of video online,'' Stuart says. "If you talk to the online publishers, they say they cannot get enough video impressions to sell. There's not enough relative to marketer demand.'' Ian Blaine, co-founder and chief executive of thePlatform, a Seattle provider of digital media services says some advertisers have told his clients that they would buy far more advertising if only the clients had enough impressions to sell. It's a problem rooted in both the need to digitize more content as well as in the difficulty of drawing the critical mass of viewers necessary to make major ad deals worthwhile, he says. "For a big campaign to work, they need 100 million unique impressions,'' he says."That's sort of a bar for it being interesting. There are plenty of people watching video. The challenge is where are they watching it. It isn't a lack of eyeballs but a lack of aggregated eyeballs." Meanwhile, the relative scarcity of online video ad inventory has caused the cost per thousand impressions to climb about 15% to 20% this year, estimates James Kiernan, vice president and associate director of digital media and innovation at MediaVest USA in New York. While a 30-second ad during a prime-time broadcast TV show typically fetches a CPM rate of about $20, a 15- or 30-second online video ad currently commands a CPM of around $20 to $50, Kiernan says.
Google Inc.
