Video Cloud Express Ad Network Integration

Video advertising revenue can add a significant source of income from your web videos. Video Cloud publishers can enable players to integrate with Tremor Media's Acudeo video monetization platform. Using Acudeo, you can connect to many different ad networks.

Note that Acudeo is the only ad integration available to Video Cloud Express publishers, and it is available only with the Express $499 plan. For information about additional ad integrations available to Video Cloud Pro and Enterprise publishers, see Video Cloud Ad Integrations and Integrating with Tremor Media's Acudeo.

To get started with the Acudeo integration for Video Cloud Express:

1. Contact Tremor Media (or send email to brightcovepublisher@tremormedia.com) to set up an Acudeo account. You will need to provide your Video Cloud Publisher Account ID.
   To find your Video Cloud Publisher Account ID, sign into the Video Cloud Studio. In the upper right, click the Profile link to see your publisher ID. You will also need to provide some information about your website traffic.
2. If you are a Video Cloud Express publisher with the $499 plan, contact Brightcove Customer Support and ask them to enable the Acudeo advertising integration for your account. You will again need to provide your Video Cloud account ID. If you do not yet have the Video Cloud Express $499 plan, you need to upgrade your account before you can enable advertising integration.
3. In the Advertising module, enable advertising for the players and videos for which you want to make ads available. If advertising is enabled for your account, then "Ads On" is the default setting for videos you upload, so you may not need to do anything here

Working with Acudeo

Once you have your Acudeo account, sign in to the Acudeo console at http://acudeo.tremormedia.com. In Acudeo, you can set up ad programs for each of your Video Cloud players. To set up an Acudeo ad program, you'll need the player ID of the Video Cloud player where you want to play ads. In an Acudeo ad program, you can decide how many ads you want and when you want the ad to play — for example, before, in the middle, or after your video content.

You can also decide on the ad source — you can get ads from Tremor Media, or you can get ads from many other ad networks, including Google AdSense for video and others. You need to set up accounts with each of the ad networks that you want to use as an ad source.

Acudeo gives you reporting tools that you can use to track the performance of ads in your Video Cloud players.

For more information about using Acudeo, you can read the documentation provided by Tremor Media after you set up an Acudeo account.
