CCC. That’s what I call ’em. Others say “consumer generated media,” but open-source ads are a subset of CGM.
So here’s Yahoo’s collection of volunteer ads.
The grand prize is… um… there’s isn’t a prize.
But you’ll win the hearts of Yahoo. So go for it. Best of all, you can send yourself a reminder so you don’t miss it. Like I did with “The Office” promotion.
A letter from Veoh: In the coming months, Veoh will be launching advertising and revenue sharing with Pro Publishers. We are building our own advertising technology to suit the needs of our publishers and audience, but in the meantime, we have decided to investigate external possibilities.
