Video units now available in Australia and Japan

UPDATE: The video units feature has been retired -- however, you may wish to review the other revenue opportunities available for video content owners.

Following the success of video units in a number of international locations, we're excited to announce the launch of video units for English-language websites in Australia. In addition, video units are now available to publishers who are located in Japan or who have Japanese-language websites. If you're not already familiar, video units are embedded, customizable video players which both enrich sites with relevant video content and enable publishers to earn extra revenue. Relevant and non-intrusive companion and text ads accompany the video content.

With this new launch, you can show videos from our YouTube content partners on your site. You can choose those videos by category, choose individual YouTube partners, or have video units automatically target your site with relevant video. You can also choose the individual videos to be displayed in your video units. Finally, if you have video content of your own, you may even be able to sign up as a YouTube partner to have your content distributed to other AdSense publishers' video units.

To set up video units on your site, log in to your AdSense account and visit your AdSense Setup tab; if you have a site in one of our supported countries and languages, you'll see the option to set up video units. For more information about video units, please feel free to re-visit our original launch post and our discussion of some of your most frequently asked questions. In addition, you might find the information in our Help Center useful. Finally, we'd like to note that we're working on expanding video units to additional countries, but we're not able to provide a timeline for when that may occur.

What about India?

I think AdSense should pay more attention to India's huge market potential and large english speaking population.

Google shd concentrate more about India. The market potential In India is huge although the adsense bug is still to catch India. But if google does not consider India to be a prime market then its their loss too...

India is an untapped market

Yes, India is a huge market,but if you see the maximum traffic comes from other regions even not the China. So why India will be given the the priority? due to its huge population or chance of traffic? Every est. will spend money where the traffic is coming from . Indian does not spend money other than film industry.Any way this is outlook of Google how they see India or China despite their population sizes.
