Video ads can show on YouTube and on video partner sites and apps across the Google Display Network, including on tablets and mobile devices (depending on your format and settings). How Much Does it Cost To Advertise On YouTube? It varies, but it depends on what you are advertising, the audience you are targeting, and the bids you set. If you choose cost-per-view bidding, you can have control over how much you are willing to spend for a video ad view. You will only be charged if someone watches a full 30 seconds of your advertisement, and if they skip your ad then you won't be charged at all. You can also use Target CPM bidding and Target CPA bidding as well to bid for conversions on your website. In each case, the cost will change, but you have complete control over the daily budgets you set and the bids you set.
