Video units feature to be discontinued:

Google has discontinued its video unit feature. Google adsense video units feature allows you to show YouTube contents and videos as well as ads on your pages. According to Google adsense blog this didn't work for them as they expected. This feature is ending end of April. Youtube can still be used by embedding videos on your site but you will not earn any adsense income from it. video ads may appear in your Adsense for content ad units if you've opted into image ads, and Adsense for video is still accepting applications from eligible publishers who produce video content.

We used to run video unit ads on few of our websites now we removed the code as per Google's recommendation. Google adsense is no longer accepting sign up for video units..

Once video units are retired at the end of April, any remaining Leader board or Skyscraper video units on your pages will direct users to YouTube.com, while other video unit sizes will automatically be changed to standard embedded YouTube players. These standard video players will display top YouTube videos, but you won't generate earnings from them once this change occurs. If you have less than three ad units on your page, you may prefer to replace your video unit with a regular ad unit.

Quality of Ads is important for advertisers, as it directly affects your ads' location on the page and your budget usage. The past few months Google has made some big changes to improve how they calculate Quality Score and how their Quality Scores are displayed in adwords account. One of these changes was the transition from minimum bids to first page bids. To help explain Ads Quality and these changes, Google has just released two instructional videos called Ads Quality Basics and Ads Quality Updates that walk through the basics of Ads Quality and the transition to first page bids.

Ads Quality Basics provides a general introduction to Ads Quality, including an overview of Quality Score and answers to some common questions about Ads Quality. If you don't know how Quality Score works, this is a good video to watch.

Ads Quality Updates goes beyond the basics and gives more detail on the recent changes made to Ads Quality. If you want to know more about how the change from inactive keywords to first page bids affects your campaigns, we recommend this video.
