How to Setup YouTube 6 Seconds Bumper Ads
What are YouTube bumper ads?
YouTube’s bumper ad is a six-second, unskippable video ad that plays before a YouTube video. It is one of YouTube’s six different advertising formats. Due to their short length, bumper ads are best for creating brand awareness and reach.
How much do bumper ads cost?
Much like other YouTube and Google advertising types, bumper ads operate within a bidding pricing model. In this case, however, only cost-per-impression (CPM) pricing is available, so you will be charged per 1,000 impressions.
