| Youtube Ads Pricing |
GEOGLE | YouTube ads pricing can vary depending on the ad format, targeting options, competition, ad duration, and other factors. YouTube ads are generally priced using one of the following models:
1. Cost-Per-View (CPV)
With CPV pricing, advertisers pay when a viewer watches a certain portion of the ad, typically 30 seconds or the full ad if it's shorter. If the viewer skips the ad before the specified time, the advertiser is not charged. This pricing model is commonly used for TrueView In-Stream ads and Bumper ads.
2. Cost-Per-Thousand-Impressions (CPM)
CPM pricing is used for ad formats like TrueView Video Discovery ads, as well as for some Bumper ads. Advertisers pay for every 1,000 times their ad is shown (impressions), regardless of whether viewers click on the ad or watch the video.
3. Cost-Per-Click (CPC)
Some YouTube ads, such as TrueView Video Discovery ads, are priced on a CPC basis. Advertisers pay only when viewers click on the ad to watch the video.
The actual pricing of YouTube ads can vary widely based on factors like the ad format, the industry, targeting options, the competitiveness of the ad auction, and the quality of your ad campaign. Advertisers can set their budgets and bids through Google Ads (formerly AdWords) and adjust them based on their campaign goals and performance.
As of my last update in September 2021, the average CPV for TrueView In-Stream ads was around $0.10 to $0.30, and the average CPM for Bumper ads was around $5 to $10. However, these are general estimates, and actual pricing can fluctuate.
To get precise pricing information for your YouTube ad campaigns, it's best to use the Google Ads platform, where you can set your budget, targeting, and bids, and see estimated costs based on your specific campaign settings. Google Ads provides a transparent and flexible pricing system, allowing advertisers to control their spending and optimize their campaigns based on their objectives.
