SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 30, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- For the first time, online video sharers can now claim a share of the advertising revenue generated by the videos they host on their favorite sites such as Google Video. Infectious Concepts Pty Ltd. has beta released its unique video sharing website infectiousvideos.com that allows users to embed their clips from other video hosting applications and gives them fifty percent of the advertising space in which they can place their own Google Adsense advertisements.
There is currently no easy way for users to generate revenue from their contributions to video hosting sites. While some embed their videos on Adsense, enabled blogs or other websites, driving significant volumes of traffic to these sites can be problematic. Infectious Videos solves this problem by offering a central location for bloggers to embed all their videos. Users simply cut and paste the embedding code provided by most video hosting websites, and Infectious Videos instantly produces a formatted page with the user's video embedded within.
Users with their own Google Adsense accounts can opt to place their own advertising on their video pages. The process is simple. The user just pastes the Google Adsense code to the website. The rest is done for them - including the formatting and placing of the advertisement. The user's advertisements are rotated with our own and are guaranteed fifty percent of the advertisement impressions.
Infectious Concepts Pty Ltd. considers itself a leader in the movement to empower users to become their own creators, marketers and distributors of the content they love. We foresee a new, democratic media landscape where the dominant interests will be the people themselves. The sharing of advertising revenue with the users is an important first step toward that vision.
