Google Premium Video Offers Free Test
Search Engine Journal (excerpt) ^ | June 23, 2006

Excerpt -

In an experment on selected (not all) premium video content, Google Video is offering users the ability to watch that content, which would otherwise cost from $1.99 to $14.99 without having to pay. An advertiser banner appears at the top of the screen for the duration of the stream/show. (See example.)

If they are inclined, users can then click on the banner and watch what amounts to a TV commercial, while the content they were watching on Google Video is paused until they return. Involved content producers get a cut of the negotiated price (don’t recall if it’s PPC only or a hybrid PPC/CPM formula; my guess is the latter).
