blinkx adHoc is a service that allows you to place targeted ads on any video embedded on a website, blog or social network profile. What’s different about their service is that they show ads relevant to the content of the video.
You can choose to have the ads appear above the video player or as an overlay. When viewers click on the ads, the advertiser pays blinkx and blinkx shares 50% of the revenue with you. blinkx pays out users in $20 increments and payments are made via PayPal at the end of the month.
At the moment it works with the following video sites: MySpace, GoogleVideo, YouTube, Revver, Metacafe, Veoh, DailyMotion, Break, FunnyOrDie and CollegeHumor. If there are any other sites that you would like them to support all you need to do is contact them.
After having a play around on their site I found it to be pretty impressive and easy to use. All you need to do is copy and paste the embed code for a video onto their site, click next and then you are taken to preview screen where you are asked where you would like the ads to show. The last step it copying the code they generate and pasting it to your page. That simple!
Here is a video of my three month old daughter as an example of how their ads show up.

Interesting concept. I’d be scared to dive in before it’s been tested by others though too many systems try and rip off the ad publisher these days. I can’t tell you during my website running days how many of those ‘affiliate’ sites we caught fudging stats. *sigh*
