YouTube's Promoted Videos - the video ads that often appear to the right of the currently playing video in YouTube and next to search results - are now coming to regular websites as well. Starting today, Promoted Videos will appear in AdSense units through the Google Content Network and will compete with text and image ads in AdSense's ad auctions. Interestingly, AdSense already offers video ads, though it classifies them as 'image ads.' These two video ad units will now run side by side.
