As soon as news reached that AOL released Video Ticker there also was an announcement that Google will be introducing AdSense Video Units to Canada, the UK &Ireland.
AOL's VIDEO TICKER ADS:
AOL's video ticker ad is a graphic banner ad that is integrated within a streaming video, but without obstructing the video viewing experience. When clicked on by a consumer, the ticker expands to launch a video ad, or an interactive Flash ad, within the video player window. These ads will run across the AOL Network of premium video content within the newest version of the AOL Video media player platform.
In this regard, Curt Viebranz, President of Platform-A said, "Online video consumption is a fast growing consumer behavior and our new video ticker ads give advertisers a new and creative opportunity to reach consumers through this burgeoning medium. With these ads, advertisers can target users who are consuming video with a clickable video or an interactive Flash ad, creating a deeper, longer brand dialogue that isn't passive."
"Besides, there was more AOL news that a newly revamped media player platform which introduces several new and improved features was launched: Functionality includes:
- A single flexible experience: Sharing and social utilities – such as email, bookmarking and related videos – are available from the player view port;
- Multiple monetization options: New ad inventory includes 300 x 250 interstitials, video ticker ads and synched text ads;
- A new user interface and development framework: The new UI streamlines the control set and improves customization options, while the new development framework simplifies adding new features."

Now everyone can create passive income even at home. You can make your own website and then earn money from that. Real Estate is albo good way to making money. Just slow down with your day job and concentrate on your small business. Even 100$/month passive income is better than nothing at the beginning.
Great now we can have video units in Ireland
That’s really good news!
Great news, we can always have more Adsense money.
