As I mentioned I was part of the pilot program for the MTV Google Adsense Video Beta test. I’m sure I’m not supposed to reveal the details, but I will say I pulled it down and the main reason was the low click/view rate and low payout.
Here’s a suggestion for improving the program instead of forcing everyone to show the same MTV videos give more control. Why not allow me to pick a video that’s offered for sale in the Google Video Store. Allowing me to choose a category or subject would be a nice option too. I show a short version on my site and if the customer clicks through and pays for the download I get paid.

Are you suggesting a sort of affiliate program then for the GVS?
pretty much
I would prefer not to see those blasted video ads
I think the main problem is the lack of content. It could work really well if they had thousands of tagged ads that were filtered based on page content.
In the meantime I think they should use random (appropriate) short videos from video.google.com mixed with the ads – at least until they get more advertisers signed up.
I’d like to see variations on the pixel size of the video. Maybe in a leaderboard, or standard banner size. It’d be nice to be able to test the CTR’s and CR’s on the different sizes.
