Mindark now doing video adverts on youtube (new?)

Hello,

Thought I'd post this as I've never seen one before. Just got played a video advert for entropia on youtube. I'm afraid I couldn't work out how to identify the video source but the advert top right of youtube was for this url. Note the referal code: gaabtest1 The advert appeared before a starcitizen video made by Entropian MrSausageFingers

About the code.... not necessarily his? I don't know if people have that much "control" over what adverts appear on their videos... or do they? I'm guessing more likely it would be someone else making an advert video and paying for it to play as a standard advert before other people's videos and the advertising to link goes to Entropia via their referral code?

So it might not even be MA doing it...? Maybe whoever made the video thought they could make more mullah back from whatever MA give you for signups, than what they outlay on the advertising charge.

What we need to know, is who made the video. It didn't look super professional... sorta semi. I don't think the video is on MA's official channel though... or rather I didn't spot it at first glance.

I have a feeling there is a way to work out the "home" of an advertising video as I'm fairly certain I've done it before... I just need to remember how...

yeh it might not be MA (given the referral code). I'll keep an eye out for the same video again. Most YT adverts hit me over and over again so with luck I'll see it again. I've had that before with MA "picture adverts" before - i.e. I tend to see a run of them (probably because I click on them haha).

Watch this space... I'll let you know

CTR?

 

Didn't see any more videos yet but did see at the bottom of the Neverdie article that MrMcC linked, an advert


that links to

where you see


which is in dire need of a sense and grammar checker and appears to be a subtle nod to/cash in on the 43k dead people in my country alone.

Talk about bad taste advertising

Just found this one too with the same code on it (by messing with URL)

oh yeh! I had a niggly feeling I'd seen it before thanks!

 

Ever considered a career in that thing about analysing people's writing? :D (but indeed those are odd uses of capital letters).
