Content of YouTube videos soon verified: marketers can target audiences

As soon as the content tags of YouTube videos are objectively verified by the new Google team, advertisers can target specific groups of people interested in certain themes, such as independent movies, videogames, or cola (and mentos). Marketers can then attach advertisements to certain tags, much like they now attach advertisements to site content keywords.


Google is putting together a team of ‘video content verifiers’, who will have the task of checking YouTube videos for having the right tags, a spokesperson for Google told 77Lab yesterday. This will make sure the videos have the content that is described by the tags and can sort the videos for marketers’ sake. It seems there is a long way to go before videos can be placed in categories automatically but Google recognizes the importance of verifying the content of YouTube’s videos.
