"Clicker is the complete programming guide for Internet television," Lanzone said. The service catalogs 400,000 full episodes across thousands of distribution points online and brings them together in one site, he said.The service has been in private beta since September, meaning users needed an invite to use the site. Now, anyone can use Clicker, Lanzone said. The company made the decision to launch officially based on user feedback from the last few months.Clicker aims to make money via advertising and lead generation, but for now Lanzone is focused on building an audience. That's no easy task as the company faces competition from market leaders like TVGuide.com and OVGuide.com. Both of those sites offer listings and help Web users navigate and find both TV shows and original Web video online. Another popular programming guide is SideReel.com. In addition, many consumers simply turn to Hulu first to find shows to watch. Clicker lists shows by title, category, recommended, popular and by media, such as TV or Web original. "You can search it and it's in a directory format almost like a Wikipedia for online programming," Lanzone said.Daisy Whitney, Senior Producer http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-JimLanzoneOfClicker815-724.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 The online television listing serving Clicker launched last week, entering the crowded business of online television listings.

That's what the league's Laura Goldberg told Beet.TV at the NewTeeVee Live event in San Francisco last week. She's the general manager of NFL.com and she said the league is particularly keen on mobile opportunities for its games. "We are trying to find more and more ways to offer the games online and mobile is becoming more and more important," Goldberg said. Currently, the NFL has a partnership with Sprint letting Sprint customers watch Thursday night games on their cell phones (such as the recent San Francisco 49ers-Chicago Bears Thursday night match-up) as well as highlights. In addition, iPhone users can watch all games on their mobile phones if they have DirecTV's $199 per season NFL package, known as "Sunday Ticket," and the SuperFan $100 upgrade. The league introduced the iPhone option with DirecTV for the first time this season. The SuperFan option lets Sunday Ticket customers watch the games on their iPhone and computers, as well as via DirecTV. "You will see the importance of the mobile phone growing" Goldberg said. Sports has been one of the last programming categories to migrate online because the content is so valuable. Also, because sports are live there is an inherent immediacy to watching them on television and other traditional means. That's why the NFL, the country's most popular sport, waited until 2008 to offer some of its games online. Still, leagues such as Major League Baseball have made aggressive moves to offer games online. MLB streams nearly all its games online in a subscription package and via a number of over-the-top services such as Boxee and Roku. The NFL has been testing online video by carrying its Sunday night NBC game live online since the start of the 2008 season. Goldberg declined to reveal how many viewers watch the games online each week.Also, the NFL offers an out-of-country package for international fans to watch the games live online, Goldberg said. The NFL Game Rewind service includes every game online after they've aired. In addition, NFL.com offers a number of live highlight options during game broadcasters, Goldberg said.Daisy Whitney, Senior Producer http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-LauraGoldbergNFL928-24.jpg Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Though it only has two years of online video availability under its belt, the NFL is hot on the trail of new media opportunities.

We caught up with him at the Beet.TV Online Video Roundtable last month. As marketers seek scale online with online video, they also want data on where the videos are embedded, he explained. "As video goes from TV to online videos to live to widgets, we give them all the information required so they feel comfortable advertising at scale," he said. That includes data on whether an ad plays next to another ad and what type of content it runs against. Technologies like AdSafe and ad networks like Brand.net are also focused on managing the environments in which ads live online.To deliver the right ads to the right consumers, YuMe relies on consumers' content preferences. "If this is 'Heroes,' based on the data associated with that content we know people 18 to 49 who like dramas watch 'Heroes' and we can use that to place the right ad," Kadambi explained. He added that YuMe doesn't rely much on cookie data and leans instead on user behavior. In general, ad networks also rely on a range of data sources such as Next Action, Blue Kai, RapLeaf, and others to verify audiences and to deliver ads to the right viewers.

That's what YuMe's CEO Michael Mathieu told Beet.TV during a recent interview in New York. The company served up more than three billion video ads through the third quarter of this year and custom spots are generating as high as a 5% click-through rate, or engagement rate. That compares to pre-rolls, which generate a bit higher than one percent interaction, YuMe found. On average the engagement for customized spots is double a pre-roll. However, pre-rolls are still the dominant ad format in online video and account for 95% of the ads YuMe delivers. Some of the clients YuMe has served up tailored ads for include Axe, Dove, Vitamin Water, Universal Pictures and LandRover. The company recently released a study detailing click-through rates for various types of video ads. "We can customize so the ad envelopes the whole screen and you're not just watching within the player," he said. "We see up to 5% click yields when people really take the time to develop creative that is online-specific and have the opportunity to engage the audience versus taking a TV ad and sticking it in front of the content." Because of the success with tailored ads, YuMe is exploring additional types of online video ad formats such as embedding ad units in the video. "If someone is watching Beet.TV there might be a white space to the right of you and there could be an ad there selling a product. We will see more embeddable ads within video that is contextually relevant and focuses on the user. Ads around the video player will start to disappear," he said.Daisy Whitney, Senior ProducerDisclaimer: YuMe was the sponsor of the Beet.TV Online Video Roundtable. http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-michaelm544-776.jpg Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Online video ad network YuMe is generating engagement rates that are as much as three to four times higher or custom spots than for pre-rolls.

Controlling the "off domain" strategy is important for many publishers: Some are caution about where their videos will appear, often reflecting the concern of advertisers. For other there rights issues with their content. Others, like msnbc.com are seeking to monetize their embeddable player with subtle advertising -- not the more lucrative pre-roll advertising. Charlie Tillinghast, president and publisher explained this to me last week. Last week in New York, after the Beet.TV Online Video Roundtable, I sat down with Bob Mason, co-founder and CTO of Brightcove. We spoke about this emerging syndication strategy.Today, Brightcove announced a deal to manage video publishing and syndication.

Controlling the "off domain" strategy is important for many publishers: Some are caution about where their videos will appear, often reflecting the concern of advertisers. For other there rights issues with their content. Others, like msnbc.com are seeking to monetize their embeddable player with subtle advertising -- not the more lucrative pre-roll advertising. Charlie Tillinghast, president and publisher explained this to me last week. Last week in New York, after the Beet.TV Online Video Roundtable, I sat down with Bob Mason, co-founder and CTO of Brightcove. We spoke about this emerging syndication strategy.Today, Brightcove announced a deal to manage video publishing and syndication.

"We are seeing a tremendous search value from video now. You can use video content almost as you use a banner ad or paid search -- as a drive-to mechanism to your site," said Davis, leader of the interactive video practice at OgilvyInteractive. Davis explained that Ogilvy applies the same metadata and search engine optimization techniques to video as it would to text content. The result is often an increase in traffic."The search engines are out there and waiting. It's only in the last six months that search and video are starting to gel. The traffic we can drive off of search is sometimes enough for a campaign that they don't have to have a paid content," he said.Campaigns that have surfaced well in video search are often those of business-to-business clients, he explained. That happens when their videos address business problems and provide answers in the content itself. That approach, in turn, makes the videos more findable because Web users will often search for the answer rather than the brand. They'll then find the video in the results and click through to watch and learn. "Answer the question of the consumer through your video content," Davis advised. The growing trend to search doesn't negate paid placements, but it's become a much larger factor in campaigns since the summer, he added.Daisy Whitney, Senior Producer http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-rdavis344-116.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Search has now emerged as a leading driver of visits to online video ads and branded Web entertainment, media agency executive Robert Davis of OgilvyInteractive told Beet.TV during an interview at last week's Beet.TV online video round table in New York.

"We are still spending one percent or less of our total national TV investment into online video," he told Beet.TV. "My conclusion is when our clients think about video primarily they think about TV ads so they are comparing and contrasting the reasons and values they get from TV to the reasons and values they get online." The trouble is online video can sometimes look like a bad bet at first blush. As an example, clients who are used to TV will usually check out Hulu online since it's the most "TV-like" but then will balk at the CPMs, since Hulu is often priced higher than TV CPMs. While Hulu is usually more expensive than TV on a pure CPM basis, online advocates will point to the smaller ad load and more engaged viewer online as a justification for the higher value.Even so, advertisers still want scale, Norman said. "So far in terms of reach for the bulk of advertisers Hulu isn't significant so it's an issue of scale and an issue of price," he said.That scale issue also thwarts creative investment in online video. "On a mass scale advertisers haven't gotten into the mindset of producing 100 assets instead of one, of producing assets of infinite variety in the granularity that allows them to exploit the targeting potential of online video," he said. Still, some GroupM advertisers have experimented with branded entertainment online, such as with Web shows "In the Motherhood," which was sponsored by Unilever and Sprint. Branded content is not new though. But on the Web, its audiences are engaged but still small.Norman was a participant in the Beet.TV Online Video Roundtable in New York last week. Andy spoke to him before the session began.

The Web giant famously tried and failed to make a splash in Hollywood when it hired television programmer Lloyd Braun. Now, the Sunnyvale, California Internet giant is trying again and this time Yahoo! appears to have a more methodical and circumspect approach to Web-centric programming. Beet.TV caught up with Yahoo's VP of Media Jimmy Pitaro in New York during Advertising Week.He told us the company is looking to invest in short-form, original content that meets a specific audience need. Presently, 10 percent of Yahoo's video programming is original and that will increase, he says.Translation: Yahoo has abandoned the quest for the big, broad hit, and is instead focused on reaching particular audiences within news, TV, finance and other areas. The company will also license existing content, develop new material and hire bloggers and writers, Pitaro said."There are two components to original content," he said. "There is text and video and we plan to invest in both. We plan on hiring writers, bloggers, editors on the text side and producing more original programming that responds to the audience needs."Shows are Finding Growing AudiencesYahoo! has done a good job building up a stable of steady performers in video. That includes "TechTicker" on Yahoo! Finance, which launched in February 2008. The show is sponsored by Scottrade and averages 350,000 streams per week, a spokesperson told Beet.TV. There's also the popular primetime recap show "Primetime in No Time" that premiered in March 2008. Verizon is the advertiser and Yahoo said the show has earned 280 million streams to date with peak days bringing more than 7 million users. Several other Yahoo originals are sponsored too, including "The 411 on omg!" sponsored by Starburst, "This Week in Music," launched last week and sponsored by Target, and "Yahoo! Sports Minute," sponsored by Dunkin Donuts. That show averages 115,000 streams per day, we have been toldThose are the kind of shows Pitaro said he will look to build because they reach specific audiences. The process of picking shows involves early outreach to advertisers on how to partner, collaborate and create a differentiated show. "Our number one priority is growing engagement," Pitaro said.Pitaro spoke with Variety's Diane Garrett for this related story about Yahoo's video programming plans. Daisy Whitney, Senior Producer http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-jim1809-86.jpg Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Yahoo! has a checkered history with original entertainment content. The Web giant famously tried and failed to make a splash in Hollywood when it hired television programmer Lloyd Braun. Now, the Sunnyvale, California Internet giant is trying again and this time Yahoo! appears to have a more methodical and circumspect approach to Web-centric programming. Beet.TV caught up with Yahoo's VP of Media Jimmy Pitaro in New York during Advertising Week.He told us the company is looking to invest in short-form, original content that meets a specific audience need. Presently, 10 percent of Yahoo's video programming is original and that will increase, he says.Translation: Yahoo has abandoned the quest for the big, broad hit, and is instead focused on reaching particular audiences within news, TV, finance and other areas. The company will also license existing content, develop new material and hire bloggers and writers, Pitaro said."There are two components to original content," he said. "There is text and video and we plan to invest in both. We plan on hiring writers, bloggers, editors on the text side and producing more original programming that responds to the audience needs."Shows are Finding Growing AudiencesYahoo! has done a good job building up a stable of steady performers in video. That includes "TechTicker" on Yahoo! Finance, which launched in February 2008. The show is sponsored by Scottrade and averages 350,000 streams per week, a spokesperson told Beet.TV. There's also the popular primetime recap show "Primetime in No Time" that premiered in March 2008. Verizon is the advertiser and Yahoo said the show has earned 280 million streams to date with peak days bringing more than 7 million users. Several other Yahoo originals are sponsored too, including "The 411 on omg!" sponsored by Starburst, "This Week in Music," launched last week and sponsored by Target, and "Yahoo! Sports Minute," sponsored by Dunkin Donuts. That show averages 115,000 streams per day, we have been toldThose are the kind of shows Pitaro said he will look to build because they reach specific audiences. The process of picking shows involves early outreach to advertisers on how to partner, collaborate and create a differentiated show. "Our number one priority is growing engagement," Pitaro said.Pitaro spoke with Variety's Diane Garrett for this related story about Yahoo's video programming plans.

Mr. Loux explained that JS-Kit makes money via a subscription fee for its services, with smaller sites paying about $12 a year and larger sites paying around $5,000 a year for the service. The Echo commenting technology also pulls in related comments from other sites and lets users broadcast their comments to Facebook, Twitter and other places as well.

"Prices have been inflated and there has been a false equilibrium about scarcity," BrightRoll CEO Tod Sacerdoti told Andy last week at the OMMA sumit.. Certainly, steady price drops are a cause for concern (and blood pressure checks for CEOs), but Sacerdoti said he expects CPMs to stabilize shortly in the low teens. When that happens expect more ad money to flow into the Web video business. The latest market estimates from Magna predict online video should generate $699 million in ad dollars this year. BrightRoll itself is cracking open some marketer budgets. Earlier this year the company landed a large chunk of a $20 million online video ad spend from the consumer packaged goods company Reckitt Benckiser, a buy widely seen as a large vote of confidence in online video because Reckitt shifted that money from its TV budget to the Web.But don't expect online video to steal dollars from TV budgets, Sacerdoti said. The new money in Web video will likely come from underperforming venues like print and outdoor, he said, adding that Brightroll makes money via a percentage of the ad spend across its network. Brightroll reaches more than 62 million unique viewers each month, placing it as the 5th largest ad network according to comScore. Because the ad network business is a bit of a commodity business, companies like Brightroll and its competitors like YuMe, ScanScout, Tremor and BBE regularly roll out new features. Some of the latest additions from Brightroll include its new pricing model that lets advertisers buy based on performance, such as cost per engagement, cost per click or cost per completed video. Also, the company introduced behavioral targeting for ad buys so marketers can segment by demographic, interest and intent to purchase.Daisy Whitney, Senior Producer http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-tod512-880.jpg Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Since the company's launch in 2006, online video ad network BrightRoll has seen CPMs for video ads drop by $1 to $1.50 each quarter.

She spoke to Beet.TV last week at the OMMA conference during Advertising Week."Everyone is trying to do something creative and think out of the box and every time we get far on a standard someone does a cool interactive thing around social or mobile and then we go back to 'do we need a new standard?'" she explained. But, that's a good position to be in because one of the Web's advantages is in the range of ad units and creative types available for marketers, she added.Yahoo!, for one, offers pre-rolls, sponsored programs, branded entertainment, product placement, bumpera, in-banner video, overlays and other type of rich media, she said. Online advertisers can buy based on a variety of metrics like click-through, completion, engagement or brand lift. That can be challenging though when talking to TV buyers who are still accustomed to the simplicity of buying on TV."We deal with CPC and CPA and can go beyond the pre-roll...where they sometimes just want to buy against reach," she said. That's why Yahoo, and others, are working to develop standards for online video buying that can help advertisers evaluate Web buys in the same way they do TV. Mindshare, for instance, has developed a GRP system with video ad network YuMe to compare online video buys to TV. Paoletti added that she is a big believer in mobile and expects it to become a significant ad vehicle.While Yahoo! has far fewer video views than Google's YouTube, much of Yahoo's content has associated advertising.
