If you’ve ever wanted to place an ad on a Susan Boyle performance, the JK Wedding Dance or, more recently, the dancing doctors in pink gloves, now you can.
YouTube has just launched a new tool that gives advertisers serious control over where their ads appear -- all the way down to selecting individual videos.
In addition, the video-sharing site says that the new targeting options can suggest videos based on “keywords (like politics or fashion), viewer demographics (like age and gender), interest-based categories or some combination of the three.”
YouTube says that the features are currently beta and “intended for advertisers who work closely with sales representatives at YouTube,” but I was able to check it out by simply going to google.com/videotargeting and logging in with my Google account.
