This is the most common ad on YouTube videos. Non-skip-able ads: this type of ad last between fifteen to twenty seconds. It can not be skipped, the viewer watches the ad from the beginning to the end. Master head ads: this is a big visible digital billboard usually on the YouTube home page.

Bidding

This is how much a business is willing to bid, spend or budget on a particular advert placement on YouTube using the bidding system. The target audience is very important in determining your advert bidding or daily budget.

Bidders are advertisers who are bidding for their ads to be placed on a visible YouTube channel or placed on YouTube. The amount of money usually spent on bidding determines the business’s daily ad budget. The amount a business spends bidding for ad placement is determined by the number of people bidding for that same ad placement. This is usually done through the bidding system whereby the highest bidder’s ad is placed first.

 For instance, if Mr B bids for $1 per ad view or per impression with a monthly amount of $10 for a YouTube ad placement and Mr C bids for a lower amount which could be $0.66 per view or per impression with a monthly amount of $10. The two bidders are budgeting $10 each on monthly basis to run the ad. YouTube will show the ad of Mr. B first because he is paying higher money for anyone who sees the ad before showing Mr. C’s ad who bided lower. Mr B’s monthly subscription will expire earlier because he is paying higher per view compared to Mr. C that is paying lower per view.

It is advisable for bidders to not bid a very low amount on an ad placement that has many bidders because your ad might end up not showing at all or shown on a few occasions. 

The bidding is paid according to per view or per impression.
